My arcadia door is having a real hard time opening/closing and I think it has to have something to do with the buildup on the tracks.

Will it interfere with the phone/electric/cable maintenance on the pole? If it's intentionally trained to grow on the pole, will I be responsible for it?

They sent me a letter stating that they entered it and found that I have an "illegal washing machine and dishwasher and now want to increase my rent by $100.00 a month retroactive back to September 2005. I have a visual disability that requires me to use a dishwasher to ensure I eat off clean dishes.

The carpet remenant is 12 x 12 and I have it over my hardwood floor, with no pad. I really need to clean it because my crawling grandson always gets really dirty knees and feet. I can't use water because there's no pad, so I don't really know what to do, I really need some advice. Thanks

Up until recently, the begining of january 2007 I had not had an ant problem in my home. Then I started noticing some ants coming from the baseboards near my back door. I sprayed them, cleaned up any mess there may have been there (I keep my home very clean), and sprinkled some ant killer stuff I bought at the store down. About 4 days later the ants popped up in my bathroom, once again coming from the baseboards. I repeated the process, spray them, clean up and spinkle the killer down. Now its been a week since I've done that and now this morning I have a few in the kitchen that I have saw. Whats up with that? I've not had any ant problems before, why all of a sudden, esp. in the winter?

They do not look like carpenter ants, they are small, they very much resemble your standard pinic ant that you think of and see in cartoons and movies. But i am no expert, I to my knowledge carpenter ants tend to be larger in size than standard ants.

Any ideas? Time to call in the pros??

Looking for budgetary cost of a toilet drain installed in cement 18 inches from the drain line leaving the house. The house is 2 years old, the plumbing is all PVC and the entire area is accessible(no walls installed yet). This is in the basement but the elevation is 6 feet above the septic tank so I don't need pumps or anything like that. Just need the cement hammered up, and a drain cut into the pipe.

Do gas furnaces "consume" the air in the space they are located to burn the natural gas or do they have an outside source of air? If you have a space (say a 6' X 6' area) is there a limit to how many fuel burning appliances you can put into this space? In other words, could you put two 75,000btu furnaces and a 30 gallon gas water heater in this space?
