Getting Rid of Mice in Your HomeEarlier in the spring, we heard a rustling in our walls and crawlspace. We started inspecting our home, looking for any entrance holes.

Identifying the Engine in an Older Sears Push Mower?I have an older Sears push mower. The model is 917.380310. I'm trying to determine what engine it actually is.

Value of an 1847 Webster's Dictionary?I would like to ask if you know the value of this edition of a Webster Dictionary. I think is the 1847 edition a little bit after his death. I am not familiar with old book prices. The front page that says the publisher before the preface is missing. Also I cannot read the hand-written letters. I would really appreciate if anyone could type them down!

Identifying an Antique Table?I inherited this table from my dad some years ago, and am working on redoing it now. It is 35" in diameter, and has a pedestal base. The age is uncertain, but it was in my home when I was very young, and so I know it is at least seventy years old, but could be older. The underside is marked, Crowley, LA. That makes sense since I was born in New Orleans.
Reason My Dog Died?I have asked this question recently, but am still unsure of why my dog died. I hope you guys will be able to clear my doubts. I had a Labrador, he was 4 years old and he passed away. He was a normal healthy dog, but for last 15 days he had a dry cough. I consulted a vet who gave him a tablet and syrup and he was okay. Then suddenly he was not able to breathe or bark. He kept his head straight.
