The tub is going into a three wall alcove. I want to tile the front since it'll look much nicer than the tub apron. I see pics in magazines but nothing explains repair issues.

I need a battery operated micro water pump (with 1/4" tubing) that pumps between 45--65 gallons of water per hour (GPH). Where might one be sold? (Either online or a specific store. I don't want to get anything from eBay.)

I run a Contractor Referral Service in Colorado Springs, CO. Our goal is to keep homeowners from making a mistake in hiring a contractor to work on their home. Often, homeoweners are so concerned with getting a "cheap price", they set themselves up to be ripped-off. I would just like to hear stories from others who have been taken-in by unscrupulous or unqualified contractors across America!

I put CF lightbulbs in my ceiling fixtures and they are hanging down. The package says they can be installed this way. Within a day the lightbulbs burn out. The wiring has been checked out and it is ok. Gone through a couple of packages testing it. Any ideas?

Previously we had regular light bulbs which worked fine. We were trying to save some energy though.

My husband checks concrete at construction sites and comes home with concrete splatters dried on his clothes...very very messy! The soft stuff comes off but I end up throwing the clothes away before they wear out because I cannot get it out. Any suggestions?

I have a fire ant pile around the post of my mailbox. My husband loves to pour gasoline in a pile and light it. I don't think that will work too well here. Any suggestions?

we have a gravtiy fed spring system and recently were losing preasure. The houses internal filter was gunked up so we changed it and that temporarily seemed to up our preasure. But it didn't last so we decided to check at the source. The pipe from the spring house had been clogged and we opened that up which brought alot of spring water into the holding tank all at one time and stirred the tank up. Pressure seemed to go up again for about 24 hours but once again the pressure switch tripped off. There was alot of sedament coming into the house filter and required several changes of filters before the water started clearing up but it did. Thinking that was it we thought that now the pressure switch would hold. Once again it started to trip off. When it keeps its connection our pressure is great but the switch won't hold. What could this be?? We've tried the filter and the spring house?? Is it a bad switch that needs to be replaced??

I recently purchased a house and noticed that a particular toilet in the house always smells. I'm not sure if it's the toilet water or the bowl itself or what, but I can't figure it out. I clean the toilet constantly with 409 and Lysol and have tried using the 2000flushes product to clean the toilet bowl water, but nothing seems to help. Does anyone know what could be wrong? The odor that comes from the toilet is extremely bad and only comes from this particular bathroom.

When its windy outside, some of the air vents at the top of my double glazed windows make a strange creepy howling noise. I've tried opening them+ closing them. How can i stop them making this noise? Great sound effect for horror or sci-fi movie! Lol.

Which is a better stain to protect my hardwood floors from my dogs? Will one scratch easier? What about if water spills from their dish and sits on the floor?
