Should I clean out an abandoned bird house or leave the old nest?
I have a fence post bird house that seems to have been abandoned. A few months ago there were a couple blue birds living in it, but I don't see them anymore. There is a nest inside and I opened it the other day and there is now a spider that has taken up residence. Should I clean it out so another bird can start over or should I leave it alone? It is too tall for me to see down into the nest to check for eggs, but if there were eggs the birds would be around right?
4 AnswersBirds7 years agoMy Super Nintendo controllers keep pushing start/select on their own. Anyone else had this issue?
My Super Nintendo controllers will just either pause the game or if your playing Super Mario World they will sometimes also activate "select" just after causing you to leave the stage. Has anyone else had an issue like this? I also have a Super Mario Kart game that will not work. When you put it in the Super Nintendo and turn it on it is just a black screen. Is it time to invest in a Wii?

2 AnswersOther - Computers9 years agoTroy Bilt lawn mower with Kohler engine leaking oil, knocking noise, wont crank.?
I have a 2006 Troy Bilt lawn mower (super bronco) with the Kohler engine. It has been leaking oil for some time and smoking pretty bad. It has been leaking oil really bad lately. I cant tell where it is coming from exactly but is all over the air filter, well pretty much everywhere including the underside of the hood. The other day I think it might have leaked all out while mowing and ran dry. It made a loud noise and died. Now it has a really loud knocking sound when trying to crank and will not start. Any suggestions?

It is not off balance as far as I can tell. It has been in the same position for about 6 years and just recently started doing this. If you look closely you can see the drum "bulge" out the front a little during the spin cycle revolutions. Also, sometimes the clothes come out ringing wet.

It is about 1 year old. It has six lights across the front: internet, modem, router, wired, wireless and security. It is also has a wps switch on the front and a small reset button on the back. About 2 weeks ago the router light quit working. The reset button seems to not do anything when pressed. I unplugged it four about 30 minutes and then plugged it back in. It worked for about 1/2 a day and now the router light is not working again. Does anyone have any suggestions?

3 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs10 years agoWhat could cause my rear tire on my Cannondale F400 bike to be flat when it shows that it is inflated?
After riding about 3 miles today I noticed my rear tire was flat. I inflated it to 65psi and it was still very spongy. What do I need to do? I know I should have checked it today before riding and I noticed pedalling was especially hard, but I haven't rode in about 3 days due to the rain and I thought it was just soreness in my legs. Thanks!!

I have a 1999 Dodge Dakota 5.2L V8. It is consistantly low on Coolant, especially in the summer with no apparent leaks. It is also low on oil pretty consistantly with no apparent leaks. I noticed some Oily residue on the bottom of the transfer case, but I am not sure where it is coming from. It also has a "hesitation" when accelerating up steep grades or acceleration above 55-60mph.

My daughter loves to turn the channels on the tv, press the buttons on the dishwasher and so on and so forth. I believe she is too young for time out and stern "No!" doesn't get it either.
