My heat will be cut back on Friday, right now my family has been in a hotel for 3 days. I was thinking of checking out Friday, but I dont know if the water will be working the same day. So should I check out Saturday??

I want to know:

How long will the pipes take to thaw out???
Should I check out Friday or Saturday???

Hi,
I have 8 different #12 ground wires in my junction box, that need to be attached to the #10 ground coming from the electrical panel. I tried to use a blue wire nut, but all the wires will not fit. What is the best way to attach them? I was thinking I could connect four and four, and then with another wire ,connect each group to the panels ground, but was told not to do that. What is the best way to get all of them connected to the ground?

Thanks for your time

I want to add exhaust fans to my bathrooms but really don't want to go through the ceiling and roof or the walls if I can avoid it.

It's just on the top of the walls and has been on about 5 years. There is wall paint underneath it.

The part that is inside the faucet handle will not budge and the metal is soft and is stripping when I try to grab it with a pipe wrench. Is it corroded?

First- I know nothing about gardening!
So, can anyone with experience in gardening in the Northeast US (Boston) give any advice as to what I could plant alongside a chain link fence to eventually provide privacy between our yard and our neighbor's (ugly) yard in the spring and summer? Preferably something that I could plant in spring and have a full cover by the following summer (if not sooner)?

I have seen other posts and seen recommendations for morning glory but no details as to how fast this grows, how well it covers and whether it can stand our climate here.

Thanks for any advice!

this tank was put in due to the propane comapny stating we needed a larger tank due to our calls to refill the tank every 3 weeks. We just had the tank fill 20 days ago (500 gal.) and today it is reading below 30%. It is costing a fortune to (almost $900) to fill it each time. What could be wrong that is making me go through so much propane?

Me and my partner have just bought our first house. As it was a little over our budget, we now have about £850 to furnish the whole thing!! Any ideas where we can get nice, cheap furniture from?
We are in England.

Much like the "clean sweep" type shows. Does anyone have any tips for what needs to be done, and how to go about doing it? I love that they put everything on the lawn, but we're in an apartment, so that's not happening. Also, it has to be done this week since he's on vacation right now.

I recently bought a house and with it came a lovely Jacuzzi bath. However it constantly throws out these little black spots of dirt. no idea what it is - I have tried stuff called Bath Spa which apparently cleans the system but it hasn't solved the problem. Any bright ideas?
