The siding section is exactly where the bathtube is located in the house, also I noticed the warping and the leak (some sort of black goo )happens more frequently during winter...

I am asking this because my health teacher asked this and I don't know the answer. Some of my guesses are that it could catch on fire or that food will be heated more than the food you put in the microwave. Your input is grately thanked. :D

I live in MO and my water pipes are right under the house. It is freezing down there and my pipes are freezing. I have been defrosting them by dropping a space heater down a hole in the floor but am afraid the pipes are going to burst eventually. Should I keep a space heater down there? Leave the hot or cold water dripping? To get new pipes put in to prevent this will cost quite a bit and will not be able to be done until Spring. This is past annoying.

I use a 1500 watt Comfort Zone electric heater to heat my garage in the winter for short periods of time. I am wondering how to calculate the electricity cost per hour to operate the heater?

Does the spa pump only run while the spa is on? I am a first time owner of a spa that came with my new home and I don't know how to use it.

The back of my jacket has a double pleat (like an invisible expansion) that has folded open on one side. I'm trying to figure out how to make it lie flat again. An iron? OR?

I don't think it's drying up and blowing away, because we haven't been in a drought, and I haven't seen any dust storms.

even though my house is less than 10 years old (built in 1997) the house has only single pane windows. We are in Texas and this isn't such a big problem, but I want to save energy. Replacing the entire window itself will never be a good investment given we do not have extremes in weather. Is it possible to take out only the glass and replace it with double pane or insulated glass?

I am trying to find the contact information for a company in Australia who manufactures a wall switch that has a small key to turn the ower on/off. The only thing I know about the wall switch is that on the key there are marking (AF) Australia. These type of wall switches I have saw while in the Philippines at a hotel I was staying at the hotel had it hooked up to the A/C unit. The switch allows the person to insert the key and turn the air conditioner on/off.

I've got starlings roosting in the tree in my backyard. They come in to roost every night and cause an incredible racket and defecate all over the tree. Anyone know how to get rid of them? I don't want to kill them, I just want them away from my house.

When I turn the cooktop on for boilling water or cooking, I can smell gas (very light), but when it is off, I don't smell gas, and I did a check up by burn a match and place around the area where flame suppose to come out when the stove is on, the result was "notthing happen", no flame, no smell. The technician from The Gas Company told me that if I don't smell gas when the stove is off, then it is not gas leak. But why do I keep smell gas when the stove is on? Does it cost a lot to replace a 36" by 21" 4 burners cooktop?

Thank you for your answer.
