I have a basic ceiling fan and a new home, not new construction but new to me. The problem is when we had our electrician friend come over to install our other ceiling fans we discovered thre was no power source to the ceilings. Needless to say he installed power to most of the ceilings but to get to the attic in the master bedroom would take an act of God. (which we don't have the time or money for at this time) I wanted to know if there was a way to connect a power cord to the fan and swag it across the ceiling to a power outlet in the wall. Do such things exist? If they do where can I purchase them and how do I get it to work with the fan that I have already, or do I need to purcahse a special model? HELP!

I bought a new acrylic bathtub and the tiling seal was on the wrong side. When I removed it, it left behind a sticky glue, similar to when you remove a sticker from a bottle.

Any easy ways to get it off, w/o ruining the acrylic?

The package should include everything needed from the concrete floor up.

I have a large lawn of Kentucky Blue grass. I regularly use weed and feed but it does not kill the wild violets that seem to come up year after year.

I end up digging them by hand but it would be nice to find a spray that works. Even roundup does nothing. I can kill the grass around them but not them.

I have a 57 y/o home with an oak parquet floor. I am removing the carpet that has overlaid this floor for at least the past 10 years. The floor is in pretty good shape, but has patterns left from the carpet padding, staple and nail holes all over the place, and a few worn areas, but nothing seriously wrong (that I have encountered so far, that is).

My wife and I plan on refinishing this floor in the near future. Because the floor is parquet (12x12 blocks with 5 identical wood strips that run parallel with each other, but perpendicular to the neighboring blocks), I won't be able to use a belt sander.

Thanks in advance!

We have a 14-year old central air conditioning unit that is leaking refrigerant, making the coils freeze up. Our HVAC service company has quoted us $3200 to replace the current unit with a 2.5 ton, 13 SEER system from Trane.
We're in Montgomery County, MD.
Is this price high? Or is it in line with what it would normally cost with a AC replacement. I ask because the other prices charged by this company have typically been high, and since we're in a heat wave we have found it very difficult to get other companies to come out an give us an estimate. Thanks!

I am going away to school and there is a room available for very cheap in a nice apt. The only problem is this room is TINY and I don't know how I can furnish it. It is 6x12 feet, very narrow. The door is on one of the 12' walls about 4 feet from one corner. The closet opening is on the 6' wall at the corner diagonal across. This layout creates a problem because the bed obviously has to go on the side of the door with more space (with the door being about 2 feet, 6 feet of wall remains to corner on the larger side) but then it will be blocking the closet.

Firstly, has anyone else ever had a room this small? If so, how did you have it furnished? I was thinking a fold out Full size futon to put on the closet side that I can fold out to sleep and fold in during day. Will full size fit in a roughly 6' length area, so it doesn't obstruct the doorway? Any other furnishing tips? Is this place just too embarassing and I should forget it?

Thanks.
