Home & Garden - 19 January 2007

We'd like to put a jacuzzi tub in our master bathroom. However, space only allows for the tub to be 58-58.5" long! I'm having a terrible time finding a tub that will fit. Can anyone help me??

We have a Payne Plus 90 gas furnace. It just doesn't keep the house warm anymore. A couple of winters ago, we had this problem and the service man told us that it isn't designed to operate below 25 degress. It sits in the garage. That sounds crazy. This winter, it isn't working well either.

So what happens is that it turns on, and only runs for maybe 6-8 minutes before shutting off. It might be hours before it comes back on again. We are calling someone to come out next week, but I am just wondering what we could possibly check for this weekend to get it going.

We checked the water drain trap, and cleared it. It did not have a clog or build up of water.

We replaced the thermostat in the house because we first thought it just wasn't sensing the right temperature. The replacement one has a digital thermometer, and it is right, it is like 65 degrees in here! brrr
thanks

The knob doesn't turn on by itself, but if you are in the shower, the hot water knob will turn and make it hotter. You can watch and see it turn by itself. And no- there isn't ghosts doing it!
I hope someone knows what to do to stop this because my freind is getting tired of it.

I'm looking to build the exact house from the movie 'The Notebook' and can only find one picture of it on the internet. Any further information would be helpful.... blueprints of the original, other pictures, dimensions, actual location, etc.

Where I live there is an inversion (lots of pollution) that will last a while. I want to clean the air in my house. Will air filters work with cleaning pollution or should I get an air purifier? Any recommended brands? Thanks so much

I have 2 white rings on my bathroom brown laminate countertop. They were made when I placed a can of tile cleaner on the counter while I cleaned the tub tiles.

The counter is a plain dark brown laminate and the white rings really stand out.

They are in a spot you can't cover up.

Does anyone have any ideas how to cover the stain up? (I don't think it can be removed as I think it was 'bleached in' stain)

My toilet overflowed while I was at work (for a long time). The whole room smells of urine. The carpeting is indoor/outdoor and no padding.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Except hiring a pro or total removal. No budget to work with.

I need some advice. I want to paint some prefab bookshelves. These are bookshelves purchased from the local SuperRetailer. Made from particleboard, covered with some sort of vinyl. I need some step by step advice to paint them. Thanks!

I was just wondering, when I mix my own concrete for a small slab in the barn, am I allowed to put dye in it, such as pink, blue or green it it. Does anyone know if it would work, or what the outcomes would be? Would the dye even stay in. I'm just curious.

I live in Rockingham county. To my knowledge, my town has no unusual building code restrictions.

I have an unfinished basement - cement walls. Rather than do a formal finished basement, I was wondering if it would violate building codes to either (1) tile the walls (tile direct to cement), or (b) use laminate tiles (like you would for flooring).

Please respond only if you have specific knowledge of building codes.

Thanks!
