Is it possible for water entering into a house at a low than normal pressure to cause damage to a hot water heater?

I am aware that no water entering a hot water heater can damage but I am just wondering how much of an effect reduced water pressure would have on a hot water heater.

Living in Toronto, I'm currently with Direct Engergy for the gas and hydro. I received an early renewal agreement, says residential 8.95cents/kWh until Dec. 31, 2009. I'd like to know is it worth extending contract for this offer. By the way, does it help if I install a Smart Meter?
Your advice will be very appreciated.

My neighbor recently bought a used truck and started to deep clean it. He took off the inside doorpanels and found live brown recluses! So he turned on the A/C and they started flooding out the vents! That has me a bit freaked out. I had never considered such a thing possible. Spiders in the house, yes. In the car! While it was for sale, it was parked under a tree which had a recluse nest.

I suggested that he get one of those bug bombs and set it off inside the truck. Anyone got a better idea? Or a suggestions to keep spiders out once he gets them out.

I moved into a 2 bed, livingroom, dining room and teeny kitchen apartment and I'm allowed to paint. It's a brownstone, so there is lots of antique door frames and trim Everywhere! All the trim must be Pure White Glossy according to my landlord. With all that white and also being a beginner at painting I thought of all the colors I have loved (Aqua/turquoise, avocado, chocolate, sage, deep reddish orange) but realized that most of those colors are already in either my rugs, pillows, art or furniture. After lots of hair pulling and indecisiveness I finally figured I'd stick to light neutrals.

But what white goes with Ultra Pure White? And doesn't just look dull or dingy against it? I want to get the whole apartment done in one paint job so I'd like to stick to one or just a few complimentary shades of white in all the rooms. I've considered Off-white? What do you think? If it helps, the floors are golden wood, and the wood on the furniture is sorta walnut (medium shades).

I have no knowledge of sprinkling systems and have never done it before. Is this something that can be done by one person? What are the best resources that I can look into? I can't afford a professional to come and do it. I appreciate any help at all! thanks!

While showing my new landlord that his crummy little room wasn't big enough to swing a cat in I lost my grip on it.
Shall I get him a new one now or just let him take it out of the deposit?
Oh and who is responsible for the mark on the wall. It was his cat after all!
