It sounds like the fan is hitting the sides of it's encasement; gets very loud. It has also been known to "freeze up" and the fan doesn't move and temperature stopped being cool. My only rememedy is to turn it off for a few hours-unplug it. Then I put it back on and it's fine for a month or so. Brand Avanti, about 1+ cubic foot, no freezer compartment.

Do you throw out all the scraps, wood wire, bolts,plumbing , electrical ,parts and things.
you know "stuff" Things that might be useful.
Or do you have boxes and jars full of "junk"
Like I do?

I have a steamer truck filled with various fabrics (mostly silks and wools) that had been stored for at least 10 years in what seems to be 2 lbs of moth balls. I get dizzy opening this trunk. These are bolts of fabric (not outfits) and I cannot wash them. What can I do to get the smell off without fading them (by putting them on the clothes line) or staining them by using Fabreeze? I don't want to throw this out. This is over 60 yards of fabric!

Hi ,

I am looking for Aluminum and steel sheets and rods ( something I can carry , not too heavy).
I can either pick them up from around Boston or a company that can deliver to Boston in less than 3 days would be great.

Thanks.

Our housing subdivision has a nice pond at one entrance. Kids keep dumping soap in it. Will this hurt the pond environment? Does anyone have suggestions about how to deal with this?

Hi, I'm expecting a baby in March next year & to save money on a new nursery/bedroom range I decided to use my old bedroom suite which was black ash (yes very 80's I know) & paint it white as the walls are a pastel green. I got some special Melamine/MDF paint from B&Q & slapped on a few coats.
It looks great & I had fun hanging up the ickle clothes I'd bought so far on their hangers but I cannot get rid of the smell of the paint & the clothes are smelling of it too now.
I'd left the doors & everything open for about 2/3wks before hanging anything in the hope the smell would have gone/faded except it hasn't & I've even tried stick on air freshners inside but it's not working. Anybody got any ideas on getting rid of the paint smell?

A month ago had a grease fire in the kitchen, son was heating up oil for french fries, left unattended. Fire department had to come, fire investigators. Landlady looked into condo insurance and had them come out. Now we, me and my son have to pay deductible which is 2500.00. I am not working, he lost his job the day of fire. Want to move but she went and got a civil action from court incase we move out. They have not been good landlords, took 3 yrs to get hood for stove but went up in the fire. If we move I am afraid that it will mess up my son's credit, he want sto eventually buy house, only 19 right now. Landlady would take out line of credit and we pay monthly for about 6 months to pay off. Is it worth it, that is once he finds a job. Everyone in my family is saying move, but I don't know, I want to but not sure what consequences be with the court judgement, not for me my son.

We had just moved into a new home about a month ago, when my wife and i watched as the next door neighbor dug a hole on the wasteground at the back of our communal garden.

we knew from his wife that their dog had recently died so thought that must be what he was up to.

two days ago he was at it again, as soon as it was dusk, donning surgical gloves, he buried something small in a black plastic dustbin bag.

We have both attempted to say hello to this guy but unlike his wife (who we haven't seen for a few days) he's pretty quiet and basically just grunts. so aproaching him isn't really very easy.

any serious suggestions as to what we should do?
