Home & Garden - 16 December 2007

Okay so I recently moved and I need a clothes dryer. The problem is that I have purchased 3 so far from good friends and family! All said that the dryers worked great before I got the. The trouble is that after I plug them in they seem to work great until I actually plaug them in... then they do not heat up!! They spin and seem to everything else right. I searched online and found that it could be a fuse or trouble with your circuit breaker. I checked our breaker and we don't use fuses and all circuits seem to be turned on! I am not sure what to do!! All the dryers can't have the same trouble... it's gotta be the power sourse! I also changed the cord in the back from 4 prong to 3 prong so it fits in the outlet!! What am I doing wrong?!!! Help!!

I am painting a bathroom in a bar, and I was wondering what some good ideas were out there to dress up the walls? I don't want to use wallpaper, or put up wood trim.

My hot water heater light began to go out recently. I re-lit the light and over the past few weeks has been doing it more often, until today it went out 3 times. I was going to buy a new water heater but my buddy said that perhaps the problem was the pilot light flow? (Something to that nature) He said that the flow could be screwed up and perhaps just get a new fitting for the pilot light? Anyone have any experience with this? If I dont need a new heater, why get one? How can I tell? The water heater is 9 years old, natural gas.

Thanks alot!

For example, it is house, that has been covered with faxe boards but I am pretty sure asbestos is behind it, there is no insulation. I have read up on the Victorian Australian Guidelines for dealing with it, is it worth removing it or just putting insulation inbetween the vinal boards and the cement sheet?

Years ago my neighbour had outdoor Christmas lights with an adaptor that plugged into the bayonet fitting on his porch light.

Basically, instead of training cable from outdoors to indoors, he removed the bulb on his porch light and plugged in the lights.

The lights were string variety...

Does anyone know of this adaptor or plug that I can attach to outdoor lights?

Oh and before anyone says.."Ask the neighbour...he moved!

We are not hooked up on a sewer. The drain goes into a field line beside the house which is burried under ground. I put draino in it and treated it twice with no effect.

I'm doing a project in which I will need a pvc pipe of 2" in diameter. However, I need to modify that pipe to make it wider because that specific pipe in that diameter is not sold. So I need to find a way to shave off plastic from the pipe that I have now. Any suggestions?

Why is it every time I do a load of laundry it all fits into the basket just fine before I wash and dry it, but then when it comes out of the drier it never all fits in the way it did before? Is there a logical explanation for this or am I just nuts?
