Changing the setting on the fridge doesn't make much difference, could a faulty door seal cause this?

Is there such a thing as having a 47" shower as opposed to having the standard 48" sold at the store? I measure the width of my wall, and it is clearly 47", but the showers at the home improvement stores are 48". Do I have a non-standard sized shower and have to special order?

About how much would it cost to have my broken furnace replaced. It is the horizontal type that sits in my attic. My house is 1400 sq ft... I'm just looking for a ballpark estimate, and if you know the cost breakdown for labor that would be great.

The crib is probably about 50 years old and accomodates at least a 20" doll. The side rail goes up and down. I have only 3 of the 4 original casters. They are smaller than I can find anywhere.

I just bought 2 press-board cabinets with doors for my garage. I know that they are not the best cabinets, but they are affordable. I just need some ideas to help them last longer. Any suggestions for reinforcing them?

I decided to "clean" my cooking pot and 2 pans, so I burned them, and now they are covered with rust. How can I get the rust out?? I am an old lady and my hands aren't what they used to be. In fact, they're more because I now have carpal tunnel in one of them, and both have arthritis. Maybe at my age- why try?

I'm trying to replace my dishwasher, but when I turned off my circuit breaker switch to the kitchen (lights and ventilation fans), the dishwasher still fills with water. Does the dishwasher work like a washer where it fills with water but does not drain if there's no power?

What's a good/inexpensive tool to use to install finishing nails for baseboard moulding, window/door moulding, and crown moulding?

I could rent a $600 electric cordless finishing nail tool for $36/day at Home Depot, but would prefer to purchase my own $70 gun so I can do my whole house. Would this one work alright?

This only happens during the winter and has led to mold on a couple of occasions. This closet shares an outside wall. My neighbor who has the same house plan as mine has the same problem. Checked insulation behind siding and that was good. Will be renting out the house next month and I don't want my tenant to have this problem. I know leaving the door open would help but I can't expect the tenant to do that all winter.
