Home & Garden - 8 November 2007

I just bought a house and yesterday the septic people came by for a routine inspection. (while i wasnt there) According to his report, the blower and pump doesnt have any electricity running to it. There is a outlet there that has both items plugged in, but it apparently has no power to it. I checked all breakers at the box and there are not any that are tripped. How can i check to see if the outlet has power running to it or if the outlet is just there for looks.

Being impatient as I am, I was defrosting my small fridge and using a screwdriver to chip off the ice on the small freezer section when I poked a hole in it. I've since soldered and repaired the hole, but now am wondering if it is possible to replace the freon that leaked out after being punctured. I turned it back on after doing the repair, but turned all the way up after about 2 hours there was very little difference in the temperature inside the box.

I bought one in Summer which I have kept outside and it was gorgeous but now it looks like a twig! Will it regrow or should I throw it away? Thanks.

I have been told by one of my friends who had bought his place a while back. He had said that it was better to start saving & collecting stuff (household things) before he had moved in.

He said it would be better to start collecting stuff for the house before you even get your house.

Does this work?

I know theres abunch o f other questions like this but I am locked out of my room. i've tried the credit card and that didnt work cause the space between the door frame and the door is too narrow and i couldnt fit the card in. There's a hole in the middle of the doorknob on the outside. I have acoathanger that I'm poking in it but it ain't doing anything. It's one of those lockes that you turn and then close the door from the outside, not a push in one. I don't know if I'm hitting the latch or whatever inside the hole. Is it straight down or is it on an angle? I've tried everything please help me!!

I'd love to hear what people have. This year I bought a Hoover Windtunnel, which was a lemon. It cost $165, and I lost the receipt so I couldn't even have it repaired! Then I purchased the Dirt Devil Vibe, which is the worst vacuum I've ever had! No suction! $80 wasted!
I have a lot of carpets, varying in height and style, including carpeted stairs. I have 2 long-haired always shedding pets, and 2 dirty little boys! I can not keep wasting money, I need a little advice, please!
What brand/style should I buy?
(I would prefer not to spend over $300)

Thanks for all answers!

When the guy I buy my wood from brings it it is usually wet. How can I dry it out? It sucks having to use it when it's wet and smokey. I do not have heat in my family room - it was an add-on and I have to burn wood for heat. I have to keep it on a covered porch. any suggestions? I Live in PA.

Hi, I am late this year taking down my gazebo, so i decided to do it today. In the curtains of my gazebo were lot's of wasp's that seemed to be dead, so i was just knocking them off onto the ground. As i was folding the curtains a wasp started crawling over them.So i thought they must be in a hibernation state, I know this may sound like a daft question but i am curious. Thanks....x

It is a very basic (European) Philips/Whirlpool model of stove and I don't see anything that can be adjusted. The flame on all the elements is high and orange at the tips, so I'd like to turn down the amount of gas coming through if it's possible. Any suggestions?

We have one of those molded plastic playhouses in our back yard. Every time there's a strong wind it blows over across our back yard. It just has the four walls so there doesn't seem to be a good place to anchor it to the ground. And it has a slanted roof so whatever I weighed it down with would slide off. It's a huge hassle to drag back to it's place because it is so very bulky.
Those playhouses sell by the millions, I can't believe that they don't have a product on the market specifically to anchor it to the ground.
