We have just moved and in our new home we have a piece of skirting board that we have just discovered is just propped up and not fixed to the wall although there is dried glue on the back of it and on the wall so I assume it was stuck at some point. However the skirting is rather warped (and the wall is not straight). Does anyone know how to either straighten the skirting or a way to get it to stick to the wall - if i fix one end its going to stick out the other and vice versa. Thanks in advance.

Would you just dead head and tidy for the on coming winter.

Or wait and sever pruning in Springtime before new grow appears.

I have a fridge/freezer where the freezer is on top of the fridge in a separate. Ever since I bought the fridge I have noticed that it makes everything inside it soaking wet. I have tried it on several different temperature settings and nothing works. However, if you place things up against the back of the fridge they will freeze where they've been in contact with all the water running down the back of the fridge.
Finally (and you'll have to mind my ignorance here) there is a hole (maybe a drain?) on the top right of the back wall of the fridge and in the few months I've had the freezer it's gone brown and now there are brown stains around it.
I'd rather see if I can sort this myself rather than take it back or call in a repair man as I am a bit strapped for cash. The freezer is pretty full so if there's a solution that involves not having to defrost the freezer (I'm very clueless about these things!) that would be preferable too.
Thank you very much, any help is appreciated, I would like to stop having to throw away wet cheese and fruit and veg!

I have just been told by a plumber that the water gurgling up and overflowing in my downstairs toilet is the result of roots invading the mainline pipes running through my front yard. Anyone ever rented a ditch witch and tackled this problem themselves, and if so, what should one know before taking on a project like this? I'm expertly handy, in fact as a professional in my work, but don't know if this is beyond my capabilities. Thanks!

Every time the plasma is super charged to a high temperature (so it will be fatal to who ever is shot) the metal in the gun seems to over heat. I am using a ferrous based metal could that be the problem?

A buddy and mine are moving into a townhome in January and we were thinking of making it into a bachelor's pad. We're college students and single so we wanted to have a place that attracts people to come over so I was wondering if any of you could give us some ideas on how to make it look like a good, true bachelor pad.

It's about 1000 sq ft. 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom; fireplace, "cathedral ceilings", nice kitchen, etc.

any ideas would be appreciated and some links to tips and stores would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I am trying to decide between 2 different dining sets, one has chairs and a table that have a "silver powder coated metal base" and the other has chairs and table with a "chrome base". Would one of these materials be stronger than the other?

Also what is a "vinyl laminate" tabletop? Is that hard or soft? Is it wood-like or material/vinyl-like?

Which is better - formica or vinyl laminate tabletops?

Thanks!

I just moved into an apt and I need some decorating tips please. Here is the link to some pics of my place. I can decorate an accent wall in each room also. I'm thinking of a chocolate brown. To decorate, I'd love to use dark reds, chocolate browns, golds, yellows, and creams. Or something along those lines. But I don't know what to do...

Any tips would be fantastic!

Thank you!

here is the link I made for my out of state family so excuse the comments:

We just bought a side by side refrigerator. We carried it upright per the recommendations. On the highway it fell flat on its face in the cab of the truck. It has a small dent and some scratches. We went ahead and transported it on its face. They say to leave it 24hrs before we can plug it in.

My question is, do you think the fall may have damaged the refrigerator functions in any way. I have to wait 24 hrs to plug it in, but I want to know so I can start shopping for another one. Thanks.
