I have an OTR Microwave, less than a year old.. Right from the start, when I would cook something like a baked potato or a frozen dinner for longer than 4-5 minutes, the microwave would completely shut off. If I have a frozen dinner where the directions say to cook for 4 minutes then stir, when it stops after 4 or 5 minutes, the machine turns off and I am stuck with a half cooked dinner for close to 20 minutes until the microwave turns back on.

I was still under warranty when a 'repair man' came out. He said he would have to take the microwave to his place of work to fix it. But he ended up quitting on the job because he didn't want to uninstall it.
Another repair man came out and said it could be the sensors, but said if he replaced the sensors, it would work the same.. Basically, he didn't want to do the work. Nothing else turns off, electician said it wasn't a power outage thing.

The vent is installed properly, and I do leave the fan on, but it still happens.What can I do?

I have totally tan wall color (from sherwin williams paint) and white trim. My furniture is mostly burgundy and black. Is it best that the window treatment be close to the same color as the wall or should it be with the white trim?

I have hardwood floors and it is a contemporary room.

My neighbors hedge and tree are growing out of control along our property line. tree branches from trees growing on my neighbors property are hanging into the power lines on my side of the fence. Our local the utility company says they wont or cant prune trees on private property and i would have to take care of it myself. My neighbors arent willing to prune the limbs for aesthetic reasons even though i offerred to pay to have it done. with the winter storms ahead i am concerned now about preventative maintence. since my neighbors are unwilling to cooperate, can i just cut back the branches on my side of the fence without their permission or do i have to take them to court. i live in washington state if that makes any difference. thanks!

how do they get in? we got our windows replaced about three years ago so the screens have no holes in them (believe me i would notice) and i always keep my windows in my room closed (like at the top) and i make sure the screen is all the way down and touching the metal of the windowsill. so how do they get in? i have five at least in the one corner of my room just sitting there, probably mating or something gross. eww... how do they get in and how can i prevent it?

They say to me it has been in family for 200 years. Before hosting mother left in morning she said to me that I am to give to hair loom plant water and plant nutrient spray. But I could not find plant nutrient spray in the garage shelf. I found "Anti Freeze" instead, and I pour some on hair loom. Now hair loom plant is very bad. What I have done wrong?

Have recently emigrated from England where ran a successful cleaning business. I want to start the same in Canada but understand I have the elements to deal with! Do window cleaners add anything to their water in order to be able to work more of the year (I understand that heavy winter is impractical) & is there anything to use in the hot weather to help the water in the sun? Any help would be much appreciated!

I saw this rose in the Birmingham (Alabama) Botanical Gardens and fell in love with it. But I can't find another one anywhere, and I can't get back to that garden any time soon. Anyone know what type of rose this is and what it's name (common and latin) is? It is to be the centerpiece of my wedding.

There's got to be a better way! There's tons of pecans on my lawn,along with tons of leaves and sticks too.Raking gets it all together,but then the pecans are all mixed with the leaf litter.Settling the pecans toward the bottom of all the leaves and twigs is only marginally working,leaving me to go through the leaves handful by handful to get the pecans out.Do any of you more experienced pecan harvesters have any better ideas?Simply strolling the lawn and picking pecans up by hand really isn't an option at this point,there's SO many.What works for YOU???

Thanks in advance for any help with this! Jus
