Home & Garden - 29 January 2007

My house is currently under rain water invasion. Rain water comes into the living room from our balcony the balcony servers as the roof of the living room. The ceiling is damaged and rain water comes in from a hole as large as a one dollar coin. The situation is getting worse during heavy rain fall. I wish to find out how much it will cost me and how long it will take fully repair it. I've upload the images to the following http://au.geocities.com/mycatmiaomiao/roof.htm

I live in Los Angeles. Working mom of an 18 month old baby. I cook everyday. I am looking for cleaning service/maid who can help me clean the kitchen everyday for four days a week. It should take only 45min-1hr to do the job. Does anyone know how much I can pay for this person? Also what type of company I can call for this? I tried cleaning service companies and they don't do hourly jobs.

I have tried several different spray bottles with this solution, but they all stopped working after a few days of use.

The floor is concrete, I think, and it is grey and the support beams are metal and also grey.
Can I use the same type of paint for both, or not?
What kind of paint should I use - and if I need primer - when I want to paint everything white?

I live in an old house built in 1884...have remodeled everything but the basement. Not much ceiling height, but you can see the floor beams and pretty much have to duck if you are over 6'2". Floors are concrete and walls are concrete blocks? (I think) No moisture or foundation problems. (I have had contractors verify) Just ugly. I need to sheet rock and insulate for the ceiling I think, as a drop ceiling is too much space. But what to do with the walls and floors. Can this be sheet rocked? Paneled? What about the floors? Should I just paint the whole thing and call it a day? Help.

I thought that it usually came on after it heated to the proper temperature, but before the heating cycle shut off completely.

I like to put up an outside antenna and mount it to my house with a mast. What store probably sells this type of brackets? I have all ready tried Menards and Lowes. Neither store carried any.
