I know that obvioulsy, I CAN. BUT will it do damage? The oil I'm wondering about is a used high quality synthetic that came out of my roommate's last oil change. I wouldn't think it would, but could it hurt the lawnmower at all? It's a regular push mower. Just looking for a way to recyle and save a buck, all info will be great

I've been experiencing some problems with my grill lately. Before I changed out the tank my grill wouldn't get very hot even on high, but this wouldn't happen everytime. One night the burners went completely out and I assumed that it was out of gas, but now I'm starting to think that the regulator just finally completely failed. I went and got a new tank and hooked it up and the regulator started shooting out gas. Is this normal at first or is it time for a new regulator?

the spring trap worked but i have only caught one - i have traps - glue traps - contraptions - am using peanut butter - i place them one inche from the wall.

after i caught one action slowed down - now i see more activity but unable to catch them - i even heated up the peanut butter to make it more attractive.

the one i caught was almost big enough to be a rat - but if i had rats they would at least spring the traps - how long does it take?

The old sink has three holes, with the two outer ones six inches apart. The new faucets seem to be designed for outside holes that are 8 inches apart. It would be very difficult to drill through the cast iron and porcelain. Porcelain sinks like that aren't available anymore, and it is very nice so I want to keep it.

I have a 70's split level with a basement, they added natural gas later and wrapped godawful ugly steel pipes around the house to run gas to the HWH, deck BBQ, forced air heat, and gas cooktop in the kitchen. Is there a way to run these through the attic, walls or something, and is it mass expensive, and who would I call? Thank-you!

...and was wondering, I have heard that certain liquids like lemon juice and tomato sauce might stain the surface if it is let set. Are there other foods or liquid cleaners that I should steer way from with this sink?

I moved in this place and the air was working fine at first . Then i noticed the air wasn't cooling right, I looked outside and the fan wasn't turning. I turned the air off. I have tried the air several times since then and the fan would turn sometimes and others not. Can anyone please tell me what is possibly wrong? Thank You.
