I'm trying to do a centerpiece where you poke flowers into a floral ring. Do you soak it in water?

My oven was working properly, now only my range works. I tried blowing out the holes in my oven and got it to turn on, but now the clicking noise does not go away. What should I do???

I just bought 3 of these and want to know a little about:

1. How deep to drop them in the ground?
2. Do I need to plant them near anything (so they'll climb)? I read that they'll climb, but I don't prefer that.
3. Assuming I plant them alone, will they hang and not break?

We moved into a house without a basement and the water pressure tank is under the house. How can we keep it insulated so it doesn't freeze. The guy before us had some makeshift insulation(whatever he could find) and then kept a light bulb on....there must be another way.

I had an extension done to my house about 8 years ago. The roofspace was extended also. The builders only put felt under the tiles on the new part of the roof and left the old part as it was (this is a 1930s house). They also neglected to put any insulation between the rafters so it is always freezing in the winter.

I set out 4 traps yesterday. This morning when I woke up, I have a dead mouse in 1 of the traps and the 2 I put on the counter are still baited, and 1 of them is just plain gone. Do mice drag traps around?
Man this is freaking me out! Where do you think that other trap went? I have looked arount the kitchen for it, and its just nowhere. Suggestions would be helpful as I am flipping out over this missing mouse trap. What if something so big got in it, its dragging it around somewhere snapped onto its neck?

It's a wooden cabinet, but I know it's not stained. It probably has some kind of coating, but I'm not sure.

I tried to wipe it up with a paper towel, but it got stuck to it and did nothing. Any tips from knowledgeable people out there?

It's terracotta tile, so it doesn't wipe off as well as glazed ceramic. Without ruining the tile, can I sand it down? It's just a few places, but it looks yucky.

It ticks really loudly when the second hand moves. It is on the wall, so whatever I try to do to it can't make a bulge on the back. I once had a small clock that did that and I taped some cotton to the back and that helped, but I can't do that with this one since it's against the wall. It is driving me crazy and I may have to get rid of it if I can't find a solution to this problem. The next wall clock I buy will not have a second hand!

We have been trying to get rid of our plugged up drain in our toilet for at least an hour. Does anyone know where in the house would be the drain cleaner, so we can try to clean it that way.
