Home & Garden - 8 December 2007

I have a Craftsman 1/2 HP garage door opener.. Recently, it stopped working. When pushing the button, it sounds like it trying to open, but it doesn't do anything. After that, it starts making a clicking noise and blinking, 10 times, I believe.

The garage door has no sensors, it never has, and we've had it for many years.

Does anybody know what could be wrong with it? How to fix it? Anything?

Thanks!

I need to polish my black leather shoes for a party tonight but am unable to get to the store. Are there any easy home recipes for polish? Would a light dab of olive oil on a cloth and then buffing it with another cloth work, or would that be too messy/ineffective?

Using no chemicals - could he still be fined? We are in the Rancho Bernardo fire zone and we need to do it. Should he buy a permit or what? People who wash there cars and driveways with chemicals get no fines but I have heard we can get fined for powerwashing.

I was vaccuming the house and for some reason I decided to clean the keyboard of my laptop with the vaccum. The vaccum was so strong that it pulled off one of the keys on the keyboard off and the key got sucked inside the vaccum. I freaked out because this wasn't even my labtop. I also, can't get it out because I dont have those vaccum cleaners that most people have but those in house vacumm cleaner that is attached to the house..

questions...
1. Do you think I can get it out?
2. Where is the main source that all the dirt and **** go too?

all clean carpets. My wife and I are getting older, and what we really are looking for is one that pushes and pulls easily. I also hear some of the lightweights are also weak. Tell me what brand and model you have that works good and is easy to use. Approx. cost too if you can (US dollars).

See, i have huge hill in the back of my house, and it's private property(its a golf coarse). For 1 week kids have sled down with the snowboards landing into my grass and tearing it up. I spend have spent at least $200-$300 trying to make the house nice with flowers and adding furtalizer. I called the owners of this property and they said it's illegal for them to even come onto this land. We have talked to the parents of these kids and they don't really care. my problem is i have NO privacy, they are screaming all day. My kids are getting angry as well because these are students that are rude to them.
now my question, what should i/can i do to get these kids off my lawn and stop vandalizing? I don't want to be mean because these are the people my kids go to school with.
p.s In the summer time the use bikes instead of sleds and i have asked them NICELY to leave.

I want to make sure all outlets in my home have correct polarity, ie don't have reverse polarity. What tester is used and how is it used to determine polarity? Also if you have to reverse the hot and nuetral wires and this results in the hot on the silver connector in the outlet, doesn't this mean the the wires are incorrectly connected at the switch box? Thanks

I used one today and I was scared that the mouse was about to get off it and run off. And to the people who say that you should let the mouse go, what makes you think its not going to come back into your house? Or someone else's house for that matter?

We bought this chest type freezer in March or April. It has made this noise since day one. Once the compresor turns off , you can hear the freezer making bubbling noises. I have had the warranty repair company check it out. This guy tried to tell me that todays units don't have as much insulation as they used to have so they are louder. I do plumbing and mechanical work so I know a little about A/C systems and if we installed one that made this much noise, we could not label it normal. I have to admit that I have no experience with refridgerators and freezers, but a cooling system of any kind should not be popping and bubbling, right? Am I getting jerked around?
