The mold is in a basement apartment closet. It appears as a white substance pushing through the closet panelling.

I hear this continuous water drip like noise in the attic above my bedroom. I went up and checked it, and found nothing. Is it the water pressure on the water pipes going up to my second floor bathroom?

it's indoors in a 3-season porch but it gets very cold out there in winter (like 30 degrees F). I can't bring it inside the house because my cats will try to eat it, and there really is nowhere else to put it. Can it survive such temps? Is there something I can cover it with to help?

I had a sewer backup in my home and the pit where the trap is was not covered with concrete so the dirt has a horrible odor. I was told to treat the dirt with lime before pouring cement and building a proper pit. Any thoughts.

I plan on hanging our lights on Nov. 11th but I won't turn them on until after Thanksgiving. Will this look tacky? It gets really cold here and I'm afraid it will be too cold to hang them after Thanksgiving.
What do you think?

My wife and I are about to make an offer on a house with a natural pond in the back yard and since we know nothing about the maintenance of a large body of water, we thought it would be best to ask the Yahoo users.
The water body looks very clean, not very deep and is about 1/4 acre in size. Just guessing I would say it's about 150 feet from one end to the other and is almost a perfect circle.
While walking around the pond we noticed tadpoles swiming near the shore, no visible bugs (although it was very cold outside) and the water was clear for at least 10 feet out towards the center. The water appeared to be no more than 2-3 feet deep as far as we could see.
The water was not stagnant and has a drainage pipe leading to a swamp area in the empty lot nearby. That lot is lower than our property. It seems that our pond is fed by a spring and rainwater, and then drains to the swamp.

Can anyone give us some advice about this pond? What to look for and look OUT for? Thanks in advance.

I live in Florida, and my roses are doing quite nicely. I still have many blooms. However, the summer heat is very hard on the plants. Some of the plants still have significant leaf damage due to the heat and chemicals I use to hold back the fungus and bugs. Should I leave the damaged leafs or remove them?

Thanks
Jim

I was looking through a magazine of kitchen designs and noticed a hard wood ceiling look instead of hardwood floors. I thought it was a very rustic, new england-eque look for a kitchen. My kitchen is getting re-modeled and the plans are not yet finalized. What do you think about this look?

Okay well I have these Ikea couch and loveseat but they are different colors, you can take off the slip covers and wash them.
So I wondered if I could dye them to be the same color?

one is like sand color the other is a little bit darker like wet sand.

Id want to dye them dark brown, how could i get them the same color?

1. Scotts Turf Builder with 2% Iron
2. Scotts Turf Builder with Halts Crabgrass Preventer
3. Scotts Turf Builder with Winterguard/with Plus 2 Weed Control
4. Scotts Turf Builder with Summerguard
5. Scotts Grub-EX

I hope they don't because earthworms aerate the soil and keep it fresh and clean, and these fertilizers are bad for the environment.

Whirlpool washer, only about 4 years old, started cycle and died while switching from wash to spin. I can turn the dial back to wash and it works but when I move it forward to spin nothing happens. Nothing happens when I turn dial to any other position. Do I need to call the Sears man or does someone have an idea how I can fix this myself. I am pretty handy, although not too much with electrical appliances. Thanks for your help!

I took out my fan plug.
Then the plug hole is black.
I tried to insert my fan plug to another hole, but it doesn't work.
I tried it in my mothers room and it works.
I think the power is dead in my room.
None of the plug hole works.

How to fix this problem?
