From my ceiling there is a continuous ticking sound about every 5-10 seconds. It drives me crazy, I have to sleep with music in the background. I don't think it is dripping from the apartment above. I don't know if it could be termites, we have been known to have termites. It sounds like a sound from a clock but I am sure it is not.
Thanks

I live in upstate NY and have some glad and dahlia (bulbs/corms). Is it too late to plant these for this year? How long does it take for them to flower? The first frost up here is around 9/20 so I have about 8-9 weeks.

I have been renting this house for 5 months and about a month ago, the ac unit went out and I called the landlord and she sent someone out the next day to fix t.(have 2 small children) Then a week after that, the whole side of the house has a power outage and is causing my bill yo go up 300.00 Then a week after that the toliet goes out. My husband tried to fix t but the Drano was not doing the job. I called her 10 times and she did not respond. So the last message I told her I was going to not pay her until she gets someone to fix it. She flat out and told me that she was not fixing anything in this house and that she was not responsible to fix anything. Going back to the lease, she suppose to fix everything that is not my fault.(major things) Then she hung the phone up in my face!! The reason I think is because I was paying her by money orders and then she stay a ways from me so I gave her 3 postdated checks.(my mistake) This house stinks.(it is 28 yrs old) My bill is high please help

I found a herringbone blazer that I love--which I lost a few months ago! So it needs to be cleaned because it just looks dengy. It says to handwash cold, but I dont think that's going to make it look a whole lot better. It doesn't say to dry clean, but that seems more sensible to me. Since its tweed/herringbone it's hard to tell which parts need cleaned the most...etc.. Do you have any suggestions??? I want this to look new like when I bought it. It's just a year or two old, but I wore it a lot when I first got it and it's been under the stairs since then collecting dust. What should I do?? Any tips/suggestions?? It's wool blend. Thanks!

I have been watering twice a day & my lawn is still dying. I live in Temecula, CA & it has been very hot lately . . but I figured that the extra water would help. I put a summer fertilizer on it & still nothing... any ideas?

We air putting in an air conditioner that does not fit the window. We need to know what to plug the hole with. What will stop the air better, foam, or wood.

My bathroom outlet will not tolerate a blow dryer, so the other day I opened up the breaker panel and discovered that the single pull breaker has two wires in it. Obviously this must be why any load trips the breaker. The breaker also controls the master bedroom, another bath, and a kitchen light. Well, last night,everything in the bedroom and one bath shut down. The other bath and kitchen were ok. No breakers were tripped and I didn't see any arcing or burns. No, I have not taken the breaker itself out yet but that is my next move. And for no apparent reason, the power came back on to those rooms and has been on since.I'm baffled. Any ideas?

A transfer station is a place you go to get rid of unwanted things that have been lying around the house unused.

I like being lazy but a small part of me wants to fung-shui.

What should we use to fill the gap? This is an old Gibson air conditioner. The gap is approximately 6 inches. What is the most efficient material we can use to save energy?
