would you hire someone to come each week on the day before garbage removal to move all ur garbage to the front of ur house, so it can be ready for garbage pick-up the next day?

and if you do,
how much will u like to pay him a month?
would you let this person enter ur priority (back yard) to take ur garbage every week?

There is a mildew smell that comes from the drain in the kitchen and the slop sink down in the basement. What would cause that? It seems to fade at times like after running the water for a bit. But doesn't disappear completely. The faucets are used regularly so the trap isn't dry. Is there something I can pour down the drain to kill off the odor and the cause of it?

Sometimes I click on peoples picture icon and see their backgrouns when they are asking a question. It seems to me they are BS ing the Question Answer people by asking made up non existant BS problems. How could somebody for example, that has 2700 points and 34 best answers be asking a question on how to unfreeze a frozen pipe when I see in fact they answer that very question and several questions on the same topic? Seems like a number of these questions are just plain BS questions made up for the same of nothing else to do or whatever.. What you folks think?

It will be 12 foot by 7or 8 foot. The 12 foot side is along the back of the house with the conservatory coming out about 7 or 8 foot.

Wanted one side to be brick with fan lights at the top.The long external side with a two foot high brick wall with windows above and the other external wall to have double doors and a window either side.

Have been quoted about £8500 including a plumbed in radiator, electrics done, plastering done and a ceiling fan.

Is this reasonable?

I have a old two wire system in my house. I want to ground the whole house eventually. It's not really that big of a house only about 1,000 square feet. The outlet i want to ground is about 20 to 30 feet away from the breaker box and cold water pipe. I would like to know about how much it would cost to have someone come by and properly ground the outlet.

For the past 4 days I have been shocking everything I touch. Everytime I turn on a light switch, I get shocked and it's really very irritating. Not to sound like a baby, but some of the shocks hurt more than I'd expected it to. Everytime I touch someone, I shock them and it won't stop at all.

I asked a question on Y!A about how to get rid of static electricity and was only offered one answer - I need a humidifier. I currently don't have one and have no idea when I could get one. So is there any possible way to sort of create a humidifier-like thing in my home? It's a confusing question but I hope someone understands. Is there a way I could create a humidified atmosphere in my home without going out to buy one? Or if anyone else has ANY tips on how to get rid of this static electricity another way, I'd be SOOOO grateful.

I am very desperate here.

Thanks.

My RV has a very small shower and I want to get the shower curtain off me when I'm showering. It sticks to my leg. I need something like a curved shower rod that I can hang from the ceiling and leave there permenently. I could then hook part of the shower curtain to that curved rod while I'm showering, then move it back to it's normal rod when it's not in use. I don't have enough space to leave it there. What can I use that's flexible enough to bend into an arc yet strong enough to hold up a shower curtain? Any creative minds out there today?

Is there anything I can do now (still below freezing here) to thaw my down spouts? They drain to an underground system and what little water has moved through them has spilled out next to the house and luckily, frozen.

Any suggestions to go about it? Is it too cold in some places to have a pond? How much does it cost for a nice one?

Do I have to remove the clean out plug? Do I need a special tool to get it off? My sink is slow draining. From what I see (I used a flashlight) I saw a toothpaste cap, and a toothbrush down there. I think it is time for a drain cover.
