I have a Kenmore 88752 Top Load Stacked Washer/Dryer. The drum is not balanced and it makes noise when it spins. I checked the level and it seems to be OK. Is there a problem with drum bearing? Is it better to buy a new unit instead of fixing it? Thx...

I've heard it could be a venting problem. I removed the clean out cap to main linejust to see if it would flush better and toilet flushed fine. The vent line runs a span of 15' or so under house. It does have sag in middle of pipe, could water get trapped in there causing less air flow? Should there be more than one vent pipe?

I would like to buy new pillows because my old ones have just had it. I thought about getting 2 temperpedic pillows although I see they are pretty costly and I like a lot of pillows so I was thinking 2 expensive and 4 more that are not so expensive.

Which is a good pillow that's not too firm and doesn't flatten out like the down ones do?

we just bought a new leaf blower in the medium/high price range, about $150, not sure the brand. the second day of using it it just wouldn't start up. we tried all the troubleshooting and prepping steps and even put fresh gasoline/oil mix in and the same thing. the only thing i can think of is that a little but of gasoline dripped out when it was still out and some steam came up but i wouldn't think that would totally ruin everything. anyone know what i can do or how to know if we can get it fixed. there's warranty but the receipt wasnt saved :(

Does anyone know of a website or free catalog (besides the Michigan Bulb Co or Wayside gardens) that offers bulbs or plants for sale THAT ALSO offers them in a package with a guide blueprint of what to plant where. For example: A Garden Bulb Variety Mix that has some bulbs that bloom in Spring, in summer, in Fall, etc..and a Map of where to plant what. Thank you.

I checked the jameshardie website too see what kind of nails I should use on the vertical hardiplank that I am about to put up, but the website did not say what kind of nails should be used for the vertical hardiplank.
It says what kind of nails should be used for the hardiplank lapsiding, but not for the vertical siding. Can somebody please tell me what kind of nails or screws I should use?

I must have gone crazy during college because somehow I decorated almost every room in my house with tan and white thinking it was a very clean simple look. Well it is, but it's also very boring. I finally realized what I'd done and added a green to my living room, but that's still very neutral. My bedroom and upstairs bathroom are tan and white also. Can I add splashes of color to tan and white or would that look ridiculous? I want to do deep colors like red and purple. Something bold. How do I do this without it looking dumb?

My dryer just stopped working. I moved into my appartment 2 months ago and it started to take like two or three dries per load to dry stuff. Then yesterday it just went out. It still turns just no heat. I figure its the heating coils or element or whatever. Its a whirlepool dryer. I dont know where to go to try to fix it. Do i need a whole new one? Would i be able to buy the replacement part and fix it myself??? Any help would be appreciated.

We bought a house about 2 years ago with a septic tank and I know nothing about them.
It was just emptied when we bought the house. There are 2 of us living here.
Occasionally I put Rid-X in the toilet.
What would happen if it got too full? Would that do any damage like having to dig up my yard?
Aprox. how often should they be emptied?
