My Boyfriend brought a town house about 6 months ago. There's a crawl space/basement that we have never been in. A couple of days ago, we decided to go down there to see what its like, and came to the horror that the whole thing was filled with 4 in of water!!! We immediately called the super and he replyed that he was aware of the situation and alerted the management company. On Monday, my boyfriend called the management company and they were unaware of the situation. I know it's probably just something like the sub pump broke, but isn’t water in the basement a big deal? Why are they taking there sweet time? And im just freaking out over nothing?

I tried using a pipe wrench and going counterclockwise but it is not coming off (tried the other way also). It is plastic and tiny bits are flaking off when I tried to remove. How should I get it off and is turning it counterclockwise the way to loosen it. Thanks.

I dyed my hair brown the other night. The next day I found a streak of dye on my very white bathroom door. Do you know how I can get this stain out?

Simply the washing on its own does not get rid of the stain of perspiration and rubbed off antiperspirant. Anyone tried anything? It is a shame to bin a shirt simply because it went a bit white and crusty under the arm.

I am working on my special room dedicated to basketball. I installed laminate flooring and now want to make it look like a basketball court (half court- 2/5 scale) with key and 3 pt line.
I'm looking for a paint that will adhere to laminate flooring, hold up under fairly heavy foot traffic, and is available in red and blue colors.

A chap answered my first question - he has no name so I can't quote it. However, he seemed to know about boilers like mine, eg that its opened by a damper and is only for hot water. Could you answer this and give me more info please? My boiler has two little leaks, one small and the other tiny. It doesn't always leak but its when the fire is NOT lighting that it leaks. Ive had a close look at it and the leaks are along a seam. Is there any chance that I could get these leaks soldered or something? Since its on a join could it not be fixed? Please say yes! But only if it's the truth. Otherwise tell me the naked truth. Will there be turkey this Christmas or sausages!

Why do people put up Christmas decorations outside before Thanksgiving? They turn on the lights next door while I still have a scarecrow and pumpkin sitting in my front yard. Why do people start so early?? Let's let one Holiday happen before we go on to the next......
