  • can running out of gas damage a gas water heater? After running out how can u get the water to heat again?

    Maintenance & Repairs - 7 hours ago

    Additional Details

    We are on pay as you gas with scottishpower. We ran out of gas yesterday and then immediately got a top up. Now the water heater will not heat the water even after we have got more gas. Also, our landlord told us that running out of gas probably damaged the boiler itself..any advice?
  • I bought a corralitos moon hostas for my koi pond, is it good to be planted in the pond?

    Garden & Landscape - 9 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I saw a blog sites with pictures that features many hostas planted in the man made streams. I put mine in a taller pot so that kois will not reach it in the middle of the pond. It is planted in soil with compost and small gravel on the rim to prevent soil/compost from surfacing. Will this hostas perform well in the water and what are the benefits it can give to the pond like the irises which balance nitrates. Thanks for any answer.

    I just walked into my kitchen and my foot sank into the floor. It feels weak enough for a heavy person to fall through. Up until a few minutes(walking on the same spot) it was stable. Not sure what to do! I live in a trailer and I can't afford for someone to give an estimate. Any home remedy things I can do myself?

  • is there a better way to clean a toilet? this is how i do it.?

    Cleaning & Laundry - 18 hours ago

    Additional Details

    1. Put both lids of the toilet up And add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl. 2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him toward the bathroom. 3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close the lid. i usually stand on the lid. 4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. the cat is actually enjoys this. 5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a 'power-wash' and rinse'. 6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.. 7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift the lid. 8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, And run outside where he will dry himself off. 9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean. is there a better way or should i keep doing this.
  • have you heard that in 2010 handmade children items will become illegal?

    Do It Yourself (DIY) - 18 hours ago

    Additional Details

    i cannot believe this. i was planning on selling handmade SAFE children toys and clothes with my sister so she could stay at home with her baby. . I understand protecting kids from Made in China sh!t, but good god, can you image how many people this is going to effect? if you have some information that could clear the issue up for me, that would be great. ive heard that, its only ok to sell those items if it has been tested, and that Mattel (the ones who recall toys..) dont have to get tested lol efing christ. i think i will never buy one of their toys, ever. ill make my own god damn toys, and be an outlaw. Woodbutcher (sorry if i got the name wrong) i was thinking about doing the same thing as well, but i am affraid of breaking the law somehow and being fined 100,000 dollars and going to prison for 5 years :/ i just cant think of how i would sell "adult toys" lol maybe i will find a way : ) thank you for your idea, its a good one. i have read extensive information about it, but it is at times confusing :s
