Home & Garden - 3 October 2007

I waited a few minutes and it started again. I stopped mowing and just drove it back. What do you think it was? I check the oil and added a little because it was at the add mark. I checked the filter and added gas before I started mowing. It was still running but I always have problems when I mow. Any suggestions?

My front door is metal and we have stucco on the front of our house. How do I hang decorations on these surfaces without permanently damaging them? We are military and it's base housing, but I see other people hanging stuff and was wondering if there are special types of adhesives you use or something? The most I've ever done is nail pics onto drywall, lol, so any advice is good. The stuff I'm hanging weighs 10 lbs. at most.

We purchased a camper recently and the previous owners attached a screenhouse and "sealed" the cracks with a spray foam polyeurathane insulation / foam. It turned "gold" colored. We removed the screen house and peeled off , to the best we could, the insulation foam from the spray can...however, sticky residue and hardened foam is stuck to the outside of our travel trailer. Any product that may remove it? Really hate the thought of sanding it off and then repainting a 3 year old travel trailer!!! HELP!

It is really outdoor furntiure, but I am using it indoors. It seems to need some kind of finish, if only a varathane or something. I don't necessarily want to add color to it (like a stain), nor do I want to cover the grain. What's best?

I live in a townhouse and it is currently raining. I just noticed a big water spot on the ceiling on the first floor. There is no water running upstairs. I just called someone from my home owners association and left a message of my problem. I want to be prepared and was wondering what I should know in order to protect myself and make sure that they fix the problem?

The true question is, I have my antenna cable wires running along the electric heater's "coils" (I guess you call them) inside my livingroom. I am looking to turn my thermostat's temperature this winter to 70 to 80 farenheit. Based on that the outer plastic of the wiring is like that of any standard thick wiring, (a) Would it melt? (b) Cause a fire?

I want to change my glass door to a shower curtain for my bathtub. It is way too hard to clean the glass one and it has fallen off the track.

Is there a way that I can take off the track/ doors all together and put up a shower curtain? Or Would I have to get a whole new bathtub?

The door is like most of the other doors in the house: wooden with what seems like a hollow core. The other doors we have all stay open when left alone. This one door will not stay in the open position; it slowly closes. Is there a simple fix that doesn't require re-installing the door?
