Home & Garden - 6 December 2006

Today morning I saw some dust coming down from my bathroom ceiling and two small holes. Could that be termites or other insects?
How do i figure out if that is termite? How do i kill / fix this?

My shower drain is not draining as fast as I would like it to. Just moved into a new apartment. Any ideas? (I already tried cleaning out all the crud in the "hair trap" bars near the top)

What's the best way to remove hair/lint out of my dryer? Every time I wash and dry my black shirts they are covered with hair/lint. I don't think it's from my cat. I go through a lint removal roll a week.

Another Hvac question from yours truly, this will most likely be the last one ever. As previosly mentioned I have to change some stuff up in light of my remodel. The question today is can I convert my upflow gas furnace to a downflow? Thanks again.

The maintenence people have dug a whole in the parking lot, not sure why, but my water is not working. Any suggestions on what it is and when I will have water? The complex did not notify me about this and it is very annoying.

I just moved into an all wood-floor house and I'm wondering if Febreeze is still effective on wood floors? (Odor killing + cleaning wise.) And will it wreck/harm wood floors?

GE sent us an extra refrigerator door because ours was broken. When I called them to take it back, they said to throw it out. Seems like such a waste- door is still in its packing. Anyone know who might accept this as a donation? It is for a 2 year old stainless side by side model with the ice and water dispensers built in.

I'm looking to run Cable TV wire from one bedroom to another under the carpet. I was told that normally there is a small space between the wall and wood tack strip that your carpet attaches to. I plan on running the wire along this small space and once a reach the bedroom wall, I plan on making a hole in the wall big enough to fish the wire through.
My question is: If I pull up the carpet to accomplish this task will the carpet attach back to the wood tack strip? If not, is there some sort of carpet glue that I should buy to glue the carpet back down?
Any help would be appreciated.
