I have a magic chef oven and stove. The oven works, the left two burners work, and the right two burners don't work; they simply won't ignite. Any help will be appreciated.

. . . and you start a nice, roaring fire, does said ghost just squeeze up against the interior of the chimney while the fire blazes? I'm worried about little Casper.

Our splash guard (rubber thing that goes from the sink to the disposal) has rotted. We are having a really hard time getting the rubber unattached from the sink so we can replace it with a new one. We are using pliers and a screwdriver but the rubber ring just won't budge. Any ideas?

I have a live wire in my basement that is just dangling with wire nuts on the wires. It is a 3 wire cable w ground. I also have a wire I disconnected when remodeling that fed an outlet and ceiling light. This was a 2 wire with a ground. Can I use a junction box to tie the two cables together to get power back to my outlet and ceiling light? Would I just put a wire nut on the extra wire from the 3 wire cable? I'm assuming this would be the color wire that the 2 wire doesn't have.
Thanks!

I threw noodle soup yesterday in the toilet. Believe me, I now know just how stupid that was. It got clogged right away when my roommate went to use the bathroom. Anyway, we got some of the stuff out, but not enough. The water trickles down, 5 bottles of Drano later, so there is no sitting water in the toilet, but it still does not work. Any suggestions as to what I can do? I live in an apartment, so I don't have a garden hose or anything like that.

I just had a new opener installed and read the directions to the wireless keypad. It seems to be a simple thing to zero out an old pin number and enter in a new one. It's so easy, in fact, that it seems like I could take these instructions, wander around neighborhood homes until I find similar units, and reprogram keypads and gain entry to people's garages. Am I missing something here, or is this a really ridiculous security flaw?

Hey, Y'all

Thanks

We rent a ground floor flat in a Victorian house, this is the second year this has happened and I can't face the thought of another smelly winter. It seems to eminate from the floors near the windows. We tried everything last year to get rid of it- Oust, vinegar, baking soda, ash, candles, incense... Any other suggestions! (P.s. Our landlord isn't worth two dead flies so don't bother suggesting we ask him to do anything!)

I'm tired of spending good money to unclog the bathroom pipes in this old home I'm renting, especially when they're nothing but very harsh chemicals that will eventually fing their way into the groung and ground water. Is there a safe AND effective way to handle this problem?

I am trying to make a flare connection on my gas heater and I have to put a tee in the line to run gas from the other heater source. I have tried to flare it like the flaring tool package told me. I don't think I am positioning the flaring tool at the right depth.

I plan on using it to make things as a hobby. I don't mind spending a few extra bucks to get something with more options or better performance. What do you recomend? I noticed dewalt has one for about $519 on amazon which was $400 used. Would that be a good one for what i want? I know dewalt is great.

I have Orchids at home, they give them to us, or we buy them, but I don't know what are they, some a paphios and some phalaenopsis, but others I have no idea. ¿Is there a site where I can see pics of different orchids and find which are the ones I have?

:)

I planted a rose bush and it died right after i planted it a year ago. last week I noticed a little twig that is a rose plant, red leaves, thorns: about 3 inches away from where I planted the original bush. it is about 6 inches tall. Will this be a healthy rose bush with flowers on it? how do I care for it to keep it growing. I kill every rose bush I ever plant. Live in Kansas.

I found some beautiful Azaleas w/red and white flowers, they look like peppermint. If I keep them indoors can I keep them blooming all year long? And/or what is the best way to keep them in bloom ? Is it best to put them outside? If outside, do I plant them now or wait until spring? I live in Georgia, slightly North of Atlanta. We probably will get some light snow, some light freezes, and some temps below 36 this winter. Perhaps colder, with bad luck, but probably not for extended times. (compared to North New Jersey where I lived for 16 years - a piece of cake)
Thanks for any help. I have a slight brown thumb, that is a light green with some luck. I also have a question about an inside tree with pink and green leaves. Some kind of Ficus? I think it hates me - or just what I am doing to it. It looks very sick and keeps loosing it's leaves. Especially after I moved it from the porch to inside (it was getting colder) after only 2 weeks of buying. Lots of changes in short time for it.

My mom, sister, and I love to garden. And we're planting a bunch of new flowers. I think it'd be cool to divide the flowers up by color. Have a patch of red, then orange, green, etc. I love the idea of a sharp contrast. They disagree. A nursery in our town does that and it looks really cool. What do you think?
