Home & Garden - 8 November 2007

I have a large 45 in round mirror I actually found in the trash. Perfect condition other than a quarter sized black mark near the border. My mom says its because it's old and thats what happens. Im debating whether to fix up, paint and put on my wall. Weighs a good 35 lbs. But an awesome looking mirror. Any ideas?

When I start my washer, it keeps on filling. When the tub is full, the water spills out in the back of the machine. I manually advance it, but it does not agitate. Then I advance it to spin. It spins and drains out the water just fine.

I suspect that something wrong with the water level sensor. So how do I start fixing it? How do I check the water valve? Do I open the back panel?

It a 4-yr old top loading Kenmore. I guess that is why the company was sold to K-mart.

Please help. Thanks.

My current system operates from a back boiler and they no longer provide these so the new boiler would have to go in the loft. Also would I have to have new radiators or could my current ones be utilised? thankyou.

For shop classes or something?

I have a small toolbox and set of mixed tools inside that are many decades old and I want to get rid of them. I never use them.

Would a school take them? Or do you have any other suggestions on where I can get rid of them? (don't mention Goodwill or Salvation Army, I already know I can donate there as a last resort).

Or maybe Habitat for Humanity? I want to donate them somewhere where they can actually be used and are needed. Thanks.

Is there any regulations in shipping plants that are not going to be used for propagation? I know there is regulations for cuttings but only specific to propagation.
My question is about shipping something like a twig. Are there any regulations for this?

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide me.

I work for a storage company and one of my customers put moth balls in their storage unit. The storage unit is on the inside(climate control as we call it) and the smell has covered the entire hallway. How do I get a moth ball smell out of the air in an enclosed area???? Please help it is affecting my job as I can't go out there and work.
We have no rules about moth balls and want to do all we can to keep our customers so there has to be a way to remove that smell from the air.

If anyone knows what to do here let me know. Thanks so much.

I bought yellow and white chrysanthemums and planted them together in August. Now in November they are all yellow. I read in another "Answer" that the soil condition will make them turn pink. Not the case here as mine are all yellow now. I am wondering if I had planted them separately that I would still have white ones.

I'm looking for an inexpensive floor for my kitchen. I'm leaning toward vinyl tile because I can install it myself quickly. Does anyone have any advice on installation. I don't want the corners of the tile to peel up in two months.
