All the outlets in my house are protected by GFCI. However, recently several outlets have stopped working. Is there a central "swtich" where I can reset the GFCI? I might not be asking the right question, but I'm hoping somebody can make sense of my situation and offer a soltion.

Are modular homes good quality (like site built)? Do they appreciate in value the same as site-built? Are they more cost-efficient than site built homes? Any pro's/con's?

I have used DainO foam and gel, ran a 25' snake,and replaced some of the old iron pipe under the sink with new plastic ones. The plumbing is original, house built in 1952 so I am hesitant to use acid, but can't afford a plumber for another 3 weeks. I have lived with this for 3 weeks now. Drain runs VERY slow. What else can I use? When water fills up sink it is greasy.

ok, so i grow a row of grapevines in my backyard. This last summer the birds ate ALL of my vines. I don't want to net them...too much trouble.

I would like to install birdfeeders on the fence. I need to know what to put into the bird feeders that will kill the birds. I was hopeful for using rice (explodes in their stomach) but it was an old wives tales and doesn't work.

Please respond only to advise on things that WILL kill birds, that they will eat and is cheap to purchase. Thank!

My roommate has a suede couch and I accidently ran an ink pen across one of the pillows. There is also a lot of dog hair on the couch... anyone know how to get that out?

ideally, wouldn't want to see them, smell them, or bin them. I'm more than sure they're here, cause the bin liner was bit. i've already bought some traps, but din not place them yet, cause I wouldn't want to face them on my way back home. But, i guess traps are better than poison cause you don't have to start looking behind cupboards after the "massacre" takes place. Have you tackled with such a situation, If yes, what did you do? the results?

I have an Comfortmaker m/n GUK075N12C1 90% high efficiency forced air furnace that is approx 10 years old. It has leaked water for 2 years now. I have cleaned out the condensate trap and replaced the tubing hoping that this would remedy the situation. My HVAC contractor spent 2 hours taking apart and resealing the front intake fan assembly. When this did not work he suggested that the lower heat exchanger may be cracked and suggested replacement. I know the unit has had a hard life with the previous owner and is also in a damp basement. Since the unit has been leaking water rust is now present both internally and externally. Should I replace or pay someone else $90+/hr to look at it?

Why do you answer all the questions on all the pages with the same answer, is this how you have reached level 5 and gained 8,329 points we could all do that crap, why don't you start to play the game straight for a change like evereyone else, as no one really cares how many points you have, so everytime i see one of your stupid answers i'll vote it down and i hope everyone else does the same.
