This probably sounds like a very stupid question but how exactly do they do it. Remember the bubble has to be exactly the correct size. Do they shake the container until the right size bubble is formed. What if they get too many bubbles do they have to wait around until they pop. I can imagine it being like trying to win at one of those 'get the balls into the holes' balancing games. Just when you get to needing one final ball, all the others jump out. How fustratrating!

It wasn't super loud or anything, but it made ash and smoke come out through the blower holes. Blower wasnt on. Scared me to death! I checked everything and there was no fire (other than inside the burner). I let it go out and cooled it down to look in and its a little dirty, but not too bad. Its driving me crazy trying to figure out why it happened. Any ideas? Thanks

I accidentally spilled orange lip gloss on my favorite (new) pants. I sprayed oxy clean on the stain, and I accidentally left it on overnight. Now the area where the stain was is slightly discolored, and the orange lip gloss is still visible. is there anything I can do to save these pants? Right now I am soaking them in cornstarch, I heard this helps get rid of messy stains such as lip gloss.

Thanks

My plan was to take four 1X6 boards and build a frame (rectangle) and nail it to the wall and ceiling above my bed. stain it and attach some sheer panels to it with a nail gun. this will be over a low profile queen sized bed. i built the base for the bed (using that instead of a frame and box spring). I want clean lines and a simple contemporary look.

What's the best way to go about doing this?

I have a GE Spacemaker 1800, microwave such as the ones hanging (bolted) over the oven. Somehow one day as i wanted to warm a cup of milk, i set the time to one minute and left it to get hot. When i took the cup of milk out, it was the same temperature as before.....the microwave works great (still spins it's table, has working lights, makes the nosies and everything besides heating the item up). I hope you could help me thanks with an understanding of whats happening thanks.

I am just curious is it pricey to install heating units under hardwood floors, and is it big on the bill.

Whats the pros and cons of it?

Is it better than a central air & heating

We just built a new master bath, and are going to install one recessed light over our shower. Is there a specific one I need to use for a shower? Or will just a regular one work? Thanks!

The pilot light in my gas fireplace is turned on, but since I rewired the electricity to my plasma tv above my fireplace the fireplace doesn't turn on. Is there a manual way to light the fireplace?

Thank you!

it is mounted on our dishwasher, so dishwashing it is out of the question. is the weak acid + high salt treatment a suitable antiseptic bath? by the way, i never cut raw meat on the cutting board.

Does anyone know where I could get a key ring with an alarm or melody that would be easier for me to track the door keys if I lose them? I keep leaving keys in funny places if I am distracted... I hate it... Any sugestions?
