Hi All,

We have removed the bleed valve from our radiator and only a tiny trickle of water is coming out. It is always cold and both valves are open. Is there anything we can do before having to call out a plumber.

Cheers

Chris

I'm researching buying or building my first home in a well desired area here in Houston near the Medical Center and Downtown. I currently live in the neighborhood but I'm renting. I really like this area, great schools, central local, etc.
The neighborhood was flooded by Tropical Storm Allison and so now people have come in and rebuilt on the land. Now the neighborhood is filled with what I like to call mini mansions. Property value is high and there's always at least 4-5 new homes being built.
My question is should I get into one of the older homes and rebuild later or just get in and build? Is it expensive to have a home built in a well desired neighborhood? I'm assuming so but maybe it is not as bad as I think.
How would I pay for a venture like this? What are the costs involved?
What kind of down payment would I have to make on say a 300-500/K home if I had it built?

The lowest price for a pre-existing home is about 279/K give or take.

Thanks in Advance!

it was top of the line when i bought it 5 years ago.now i find out that all the water does not drain out because the drain holes are up too high. this water has ruined so many of our clothes,because it just stagnates,and it leaves a terrible smell in your clothes that you can't get rid of! of course the 5 year warranty ended,and this started!!!

The water ran down to the condo below and the occupant had water down the walls and on the floor. The home owner is responsible for a faulty water heater, but a broken pipe makes it an association problem. How does one know what the problem is and if there is damage to the neighbors walls.

In pulling up the wet carpet, can one be electrocuted if they touch the wrong part of the electric water heater? I heard this happened to someone. What to do?

Okay, it has been freezing cold here in KY for the last week. All the pipes leading to the kitchen sink, the bathroom, the tub are all fine. My problem is, is that the cold water pipe for the washer is frozen as well as the drain pipe and has been for 3 days. The hot water to the washer is working fine. The washer is against a wall on the back of the house and the pipes lead down into the foundation and we cannot get to them. Besides calling a plumber, which will be my last resort, what can I do?

I want to buy a nice medium-sized apartament plant. I am very disappointed because I had 2 unsuccessful attempts to grow a majesty palm - beautiful plant, but unadaptable to the conditions in my apartment. My apartment is not really well lit, because I face north. The temperature is usually high, about 77 degrees F, but it can vary (not a lot, though). I need advice on which plant would be best to buy. I like especially plants with long leaves, but I want to consider other plants too.

I bought an appliance and it says I need a 15 amp NEMA (standard) outlet to plug it into. The picture looks like that of a household plug outlet, 2 prongs and 1 bar, but drawing is round instead of oval. Says if not available to call electrician. Are these the same (household outlet and the NEMA 15 amp)?

At this point i'm so over whelmed after being ill for the last year and my husband having back surgery, the house has just gone to pieces and i need some sort of help seperating junk, throwing it away, getting cabinets and closets cleaned out and organized and then of course finally a hard cleaning. I know of cleaning companies i can get to come in and help after everything is picked up (as hiring a cleaning company or maid will be the easiest of all that needs to be done). I'm at my wits end and need help and am too embarrassed to ask anyone I know, I'm ashamed of the house I have kept for the last year. I have a million excuses but I just need help and don't mind paying a company or service, I am however a little leary of strangers coming in so I would want it to be a trustworthy company. I watched Oprah the other day and apprently 2/3 of Americans are living like this. She hired her crew of course to come in and get matters under control. They seperated everything, donated
