Can the good folks at yahoo point me in the direction on how to prepare or obtain a well log on a dug well for a bank? The well digger I have never has done one. The well driller I used didn't hit water. He's the last person after $7000 and no water I want to ask. Could I do it myself?

News reports often tell us that the cause of a certain house fire is under investigation, but we rarely get a follow-up that reveals the results of that investigation. So...what are the statistics when it comes to the causes of house fires?

The lump is a raise in the floor right in front of the sink. It's about 6 inches in length and maybe 3 inches in width and appears to be having to do with the beam. This has only recently happened since my kitchen sink sprung a leak. I'm concerned about mold or rotting. My father in law says this is nothing to be concerned over and someone else said it might be the house swelling and settling due to the extreme heat we've had lately. If anyone has any advice please I'd love to hear.

I am taping an air conditioner in a window (I know, I shouldn't but I am!) using card board around the edges and want to know if duct tape is my best bet for staying power. I'm just trying to seal up any cracks so the cold air dosn't get out. The air conditioner is in an upper window so no break-ins to worry about just don't want any precious cold air to escape!

I would like to show the beauty of the wood that's part of my old house (dated before 1940's) I'm in the process of removing paint from it. It's time-consuming though. I was wondering if anyone knows of a method that is quicker and cost-efficient. Currently, I'm using paint stripper. Are there any other options?

We are moving to Lebanon soon due to a job relocation. We are looking for foreclosures or houses that may be on the market by the owner. Country living would be ideal with a couple of acres (2-3) and 3-4 bedrooms. (We have kids and dogs)

It's in that steel drain that comes from the basement and goes all the way to the attic. The section between the basement floor and the basement ceiling has a nice big crack in it, and water seems to leak. How does that rusty section get replaced without the rest of it falling apart. The house was built in the 1930's. Is it a do-it-you job, or should we call a plumber?

We have had extremely hot and dry weather lately. Is it better to soak my shrubs/flowers once a week or give them a little drink everynight? I paid a lot of money for all my landscaping last spring and do not want anything to die! I would appreciate any help!

My rental is old and in bad shape. My outdated fridge has a funny odor and the freezer wont close and doesn't keep stuff frozen. I've asked my landlord to check on it and they haven't - claiming that the owner wont pay for such a repair - it's been months! Also my walls, floors, door, stairs, exterior, are all questionably up to standard- how do I find out how bad it needs to get before it's a code violation?
