A dishonest airconditioner repairman tried to sell me a $425 thermostat this morning (besides the $95 service fee) stating this problem as the reason why my a/c won't cool. He said that this was the problem because everything else including the refrigerant (Freon) is fine...

BTW, I told him to leave and start another career that does not involve scamming people.

I have two sets of wind chimes, one made with bamboo and one made with what looks like aluminium. Both make a totally different sound from each other, both lovely.

What do you do with a husband is a pack rat. Our house looks like a war zone. He's afaird to throw anything away because he might need it tomorrow. He gets really mad if I throw any it away. I get away with it sometimes but most of the time he catches me,like he has an inventory in his head of what he has!!

Just moved into a house with central AC, York Model E1FB024S06A. Turned on thermostat and got nothing. Checked circuit breaker, looks fine. There is a unit on the wall of the house next to the compressor unit (I guess that is what it is called) with a sort of switch that you pull out and turn upright or upside down and plug back in to turn it on or off, it is set to on. Is there a switch somewhere on the compressor unit outside or the other part of the unit that is laying on the drip pan which is in the attic. I know absolutely nothing about AC units so I apologize if I do not know what the parts are called but before I call a repairman, I would like to find out if it is something as simple as a power switch that I am not seeing. The house was empty for about 2 years and they may have somehow turned it off when they winterized the house. I appreciate anyone's help on this.

What does it cost, and what maintenance is involved in an above ground swiiming pool? I'm guessing about a 24 ft pool.

Are "Open House Showing" just a waste of time if you already have the home listed in the MLS. It seems like they just attract people who are browsing and not really serious about buying a home.

I have owned gas lawn trimmers made by Weedwacker, made by Poulan, and made by Craftsman. All have serious problems and I would not by their product again. What gas powered lawn trimmer has a good reputation for starting, for refilling the string, and for advancing the line while the machine is in use?

I've tried cleaners designed to clean them, other cleaners, bleach, windex, everything! How in the world do you get them clean? Windex takes off the light stuff, but nothing takes off the set in soap scum. I've even tried SOS pads. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance!

We received a electric lawn mower as a gift (it's a second hand mower) my husband has been using it for several months. The only way he can use it without cutting the electrical cord is pushing and pulling the mower with one hand while pulling, pushing, picking the cord with the other. I think it takes double the time cutting the lawn with this machine....is there a tip that you can give us? maybe something we don't know, like a retractable electrical cord...I don't know....something that you can use to be able to push the machine with both hands

I have a shirt that has had tons of lint on it. I think there was some towels i accidently threw in the wash with it, and now It's covered and looks really unsightly. I've tried dryer sheets, but there's still a bunch of lint. Anyone know a home remedy for removing lint from clothes?

We have been evacuated from our home due to the electrical damage and the fact that the ceiling in our bedroom collapsed onto the floor. Thanks for the info!

Whenever I check an electric motor's statistics, I NEVER see anything regarding torque. I see hp, rpm, watts, shaft size, but NO TORQUE. Can someone please tell me what torque is and how it relates (if it relates) to the motor's strength and ability.
