Please, has anyone used/own a steam mop or any other type machine that cleans ceramic tile/grout. I'm tired of getting on hands and knees scrubbing. Would love for it to sanitize also! I checked into the Shark Steam Mop advertised on TV and there was bad things said about it. Please help! Thank you!!

We bought a new LG refridgerater that has titanium finish. It got scrached and then we used a cleaner and it took more of the finish off and has a huge white spot on it. Is there titanium paint. How do you fix a refridgerater door?

I dropped a small siver cross down the drain in my bathroom. Our house is new construction and has plastic drain pipes. I am trying to take the pipes apart so I can get into the trap. My pipe wrench is not quite big enough and can only grab the nubs around the drain and becaus ethey are plastic, they are giving away before I can loosen it. Any ideas? Maybe flexible magnats? It's a very light weight cross :+)

If so would you be willing to direct me to sites or whatever. Be honest if you think I should just toss it and get a new one.

I've been priming (Bullseye brand) and painting (Sears 15-year latex) the house, but I haven't got finished. Now it's October 8, and the unseasonably hot weather is done. For the next week or so, temperatures are predicted to be in the low 70's in the daytime and the low 40's at night. I'd like to finish, but I don't want to have to get on the ladder and do this again anytime soon! Is is getting too cold at night? The paint can says to not apply paint if the weather is going to get below 45, but does that apply to midnight chill, or what? Do you think I can still put paint on, or should I hang it up and wait until spring? Thanks for any help.

We have a son that is going to school for auto-deisel repair and has since purchased quite a few new tools. Included is an air compressor. It is 120 volt compressor but to run it everything else in the garage needs to be shut off including the lights. Also the garage shares a common wall with the kitchen which is wired to one outlet in the garage. My question is, how difficult or expensive will it be to rewire the garage so we can get more power out there to run things without tripping breakers? Can it be done at the breaker box or does it have to have new wires run? Would it be better to run a seperate power line to the garage only? I'm going to leave this job to a professional but was just wondering if anyone has dealt with it before and how much was involved.

We just had 8 recessed lighting fixtures installed, no transformer's just the housing, they are rated at 65w which even at full power (they are on a single dimmer) is way too dull for the size of the room. Why couldn't you put a 75w or higher bulb in the fixture? I couldn't think of what is actually "restricting" if there is no transformer.

I am removing one large section of carpeting in my living room/dining room to make way for laminate. The best part is that there is a seam in the carpet right where I want to cut. So, my plan is to cut along the seam, pull up the old carpet, and be on my merry way. My wife is concerned that the remaining carpet may recoil or buckle along that seam. I doubt that it would because it is 10-15 years old, and is in the area of the house that has the most foot traffic. Thus, my guess is the old carpet will stay in place, and all I need is a reducer strip along the edge of the carpet and laminate?

Anyone experienced with this who can tell me whether this is something I should be concerned about?

Hi, my venus flytraps are starting to turn black so i cut them off and i am waiting for a response from you guys before doing this, the guy at the store told me put it in a refrigerator sealed in a plastic bag for 3-5 months, and then he said mist it every couple of days, But heres the thing im affraid thet it will start fungus and mold will start killing it, i told him can i use a fungicide and he said no because the sulphur will do more bad than good to the bulb so what am i suppost to do about the fungus and mold that will propably start in the future?

We have an outdoor water fountain that runs from spring to late fall. I need to repaint it, including the basin, but want to go with a paint that is as waterproof as possible. In the past, I have just used cheap grey spray paint.

Is there something else that would work better. Also, would coating it with clear polyurathane add more protection to the part that is constantly underwater. Keeping in mind that birds do drink from it.

Thanks,
Steve in OHIO
