Ok here I am again, the 56 yr old dinosaur who can't afford a man, I keep buying weedeaters and I can't handle a gas one for health/physical reasons, but it seems that the string ones that you tap to get more line always seem to be more trouble than they are worth, they jam and I spend more time fixing them and unjamming them ,anyone know of a good affordable one, and if not affordable at least a good string one that works, just using on lawn edging WEndy who really appreciates you help

Anyone know what is happening with the shower? It is shorting the electrical circuit in the house and the breaker kicks in. The shower (electric) works if set on cold, but once the button for warm or hot shower is used, the whole circuit cuts out and the electrics go down in the house. It's been working fine until today.

Would anyone have any suggestions or good advice?

Thank you!!

This is the lawnmower nightmare. I put some dirty gas in it and it cost me $140 in all to get it fixed so I left the gas can (plastic) open and empty to air out but I guess some cobwebs or ?? got in it so I went to get more gas and then put it in my newly fixed $140 lawnmower and I think I put dirty gas in again. It runs sometimes and the engine kind of lopes along. What can I do besides get smarter :0 sorry, female here, not clear thinking , but what happens, does it clog something or something I can clean out ? Please don't slam me my life is a struggle as it is . AND I'M ON A VERY FIXED BUDGET SO THIS IS REALLY AN ISSUE AND HAVE NO MAN TO FIX IT. AND CAN'T AFFORD A MAN :)

it seems to heat up the living room, and I mean a lot. It is not unusual for the living room to be 8- 10 degrees hotter than rest of house. I have a ranch style house in So. Cal about 4 miles away from the beach. It is a pretty temperate climate. My living room faces south and gets full exposure to the sun. We have dual pane windows and walls and attic are insulated r- 19 minimum. The skylights are 10 -15 years old and 4 ft by 2 ft, they are an opaque white color. recently sealed and insulated the seals.
1. What can I do? I love the light it brings in, house would be very dark without them!

I was washing a quilt and a few cloths, not enough to overload it, it turned on and ran for a while then quit, I went to take the cloths out and felt they were still damp and saw that the dial was stopped just before the rinse cycle, I pulled the nob out to turn it back on and nothing, I tried starting the cycle over again and nothing, the plug is all the way in and I checked the circut breaker and it is fine, what could be wrong with the washer?

We will be building a new home soon and are watching our budget. We plan to have a 3' by 4' shower. I was wondering what the cost difference would be between a tiled shower with 12" x 12" tiles and a pre made fiberglass unit. We currently have a fiberglass unit, but am unhappy with the stains. I think the tiled shower would last longer and look great. Any thoughts on the cost of each as well as durability and ease of cleaning would be appreciated.
Thanks!

My water heater was working perfectly fine until I turned off the water supply to the house. When I turned the water supply back on, the water heater was leaking tremendously; not just a little leak, but a constant flood of water that was almost flooding my backyard. I turned off the water flow to the water heater, but how can I fix the leak?

They all have hydraulic elevators installed for convenience and handicapped. On his newest project he is wondering what manufacutre of elevator to use in it. On the last one he paid a ton of money for an Otis elevator and it's constantly having problems. He has 2 others that have the Schindler 330A elevators. So far they've only needed the regular maintenance and alway? They also always pass state inspection. The Otis one is noisy and rough. Should he just stick with Schindler?
He's noticed the Schindler starts off very smothly and the otis jerks.

Thanks from Mike, Kevin's uncle.

I have a huge arachniphobia and I am unable to enjoy my balcony by the lake because it has been taken over by huge, quarter size spiders. They're everywhere!! I don't mind having my boyfriend kill one or two but this is just getting outrageous! Is there any cheap and safe way I can get them to at least stay away from my balcony/apartment. By the way, I have a little dog that I don't want hurt by any chemicals.
