Yes my husband is a genius. After our last BBQ, I noticed the siding is all warped. The grill was probably 2-3 feet away. The peices don't fit together right anymore. I assume there will be water damage if we just leave it that way. I hate the siding anyway, but we don't have tons of money to replace it with hardiplank.

Should we replace just the melted lengths of siding with something similar?

It is in our backyard, so we could possibly redo the whole wall in something different. Is there any easy, cheap, maybe even environmentally friendly solution?

I just received an email "forward" stating that the solution in the Swiffer Wet-Jet was DEADLY to animals like antifreeze if they lick it off their paws. Has anyone else ever heard of this ??

It is could for about 5 seconds then gets hot for about 10 and then gets cold again. What is causing this to happen. It is a dual knob so hot and cold have their own knobs. The hot works fine but I am afraid of my kids getting burnt.

The apartment complex offered me another apartment but I want to move out of the complex all together. The apartment is infested with german roaches and the exterminator has come twice and I've bombed the place and I still kill at least 5 everyday. And from the research I've done German Roaches do not go away, nor are they in just one apartment. Do I have a legal right here? Can I break the lease in such a circumstance

Plastic sheeting..I have heard both on job sites and have asked the person to pronounce it again and they did. Next I asked "Are you sure?" with a smile and waited for a answer and I am still waiting.......List your source please. I am not sure if I am spelling it correctly either. I just know I have heard the word over and over. Good Luck!

The other day I went to start my mower and after a few tries (the mower would just barely crank) I saw smoke rising from the battery tray. Upon inspection I found the negative (ground) post partly melted and the ground wire cooked. I decided I had a poor ground connection and so renewed the ground wire, making the connection shiny and new at the frame and battery (positive and negative). upon reassemble I saved the connection to the negative post for last and gingerly touched the ground to the terminal and saw a strong arc (strong enough that it tried to stick to the post), so I began to disconnect things one by one to see what might be drawing current (ignition switch, buss bar, starter, clutch, lights, wire harness) still every time I tested I would get an arc at the negative post.

Finally I decided to disconnect the positive lead on the battery and connect the negative ground first. when I then touched the positive lead there was no arc, nada, nothing, zilch. So I made the connection and now everyting works fine and dandy.

Now I'm going nuts trying to understand why. (the battery takes and holds a charge)

Is there any way of telling whether it is going to rain other than watching (or listening to) the weather forecast?
