Home & Garden - 8 November 2007

Not only the pull thingy but some of the teeth are missing too, so I have to replace the entire zipper. Is it a big deal to do? Would a dry cleaner or someplace like that do it? Any suggestions would help greatly.

I moved into a new apartment last November, I found that the balcony doors are very drafty. With the expected heating increase from BGE this year, what can I do to insolate the doors? I rent so I can’t do anything major.

The plant would have to:
-Be relatively small
-sprout quickly
-be easy to care for

Also, where could bean seeds be purchased despite it being out of season?

I have noticed that the drain in my back garden in over flowing whenever the washing machine or when the bath has been emptied, also when I flush the toilet water bubbles out of the drainer in the shower.

Does this sound like a big problem to fix?? how much would I expect to pay at the most to unblock the problem???

thanks for any advice

The stove is mounted on 100mm feet (4 inch) - my concern is whether the heat from the stove will effect the grout.

It is very thick and there is a lot of it. I chipped off what I could but there's heaps left. It's an synthetic fabric ( the crease-resistant type) so this may complicate things. I'm thinking about just throwing it in the bin.

I have yellow elastomeric paint and a white flat paint all for concrete wall. I would like to mix a light yellow color. Could they be mixed?

If not, what kind of paint could I mix with my ready-to-paint yellow elastomeric paint?

We recently had carpet in our bathroom (which I hated!) When we removed it to put down vinyl tile. Some of the floor is wet, like where my shower and toilet is. Should we put down a sub floor or just let it dry first (or will it ever dry)???

I am having a garage sale this Saturday. I will be selling A LOT of gift bags, varying in size - probably close to 100 of them. Any ideas on how I could display them? If I lay them on the table, they would be hard to see, and if I hang them on a rope or pole or something, people would have to remove all gift bags to get to the one they want...

Also, how much would you pay for
1. a very high-tech but non-digital camera
2. an AM/FM radio (no area for CD's or casettes)
3. a 90's portable CD player with headphones (but no AM/FM radio)

Thanks!

Especially T-Shirts . I wash them in regular cycle because it doesn't say on the tag to use delicate. After 1-2 washes , T-shirts (cotton ) become too large . WHat is the reason? If I use delicate cycle , they don't wash well .

My air filter was inserted incorrectly and now dirt particles are stuck in the heat pump coils. I only have a 4" space to run a vacuum across the coils. Other than to remove the duct work, how would anyone clean these return coils? Seems very dirty and difficult to access.
