I have an older house and they thermostat is one of those round ones about 3 inches in diameter. I've heard that u an keep your house as low as 50 degrees without damaging pipes. So I'd like to keep it that low. The problem is that if i turn my thermostat as far down as it will go it only goes to 56 degrees. the markings go down to 50 so Im wondering is there a way to somehow adjust this. Maybe I should install a new thermostat. because it seems to me I should have the option to go down as low as 50 degrees. Right now I can go no lower that 56. How low does everyone else's thermostat go if they tried to set it to its lowest?

box? I have a silver baby brush, a silver rattle, silver drinking cup, silver spoons and a comb. They don't have any value and I don't want to sell them. I'd like to display them, but since my kids are older I can't display them in their room and it seems silly to display them anywhere else.

I have squeaking hinges and also a 5 month old baby. Most of the time when they are asleep as I open the door/cabinet the annoying squeaking sound wakes them up. So i want to know if there is something i can use to stop the squeaking sound other than WD-40 because of the smell. thanks for your help

I am currently contemplating purchasing land on which to build a custom home. I was just curious if anyone has an idea of what the cost per square foot would be for an approximate 3,500 - 4,0000 square foot home? I would be looking to be using a higher level of interior design (i.e wood flooring, granite countertops, wolf/viking appliances, etc).

My broiler pan is super greasy with baked on grease and cheese. I never know how to clean it easily-- it doesn't fit well in the sink and when I use a sponge on it the sponge gets stuck in the holes in the pan. Is there a homemade solution I can spray on it that will help clean it easily?

I have an overhead garage door (wood) that has three panels cracked. What is the easiest way to repair them. We are getting our house ready to sell and can't afford to replace them so they all look alike; there are three garage doors!

I bought a high efficiency washer in the house I recently purchased, which was built in 1998. 3 months after I bought the washer, strong sewer gas smell coming from washing machine drain pipe. Things to note: I have city sewer, I don't have a basement, washer is on first floor so I don't have a floor drain, I use the washer once a week, and I don't know for sure if I have a trap on the drain pipe because it is behind the wall. After each wash, I pour water down the drain pipe. That has helped the sewer gas smell but it is still there. It is worse at night and the day after I use the washing machine, the smell comes back. The smell is now steadily worsening and getting stronger. I had a plumber over to my house and all he did was pull the drain hose further out of the drain pipe. Otherwise, he was clueless as to how to fix the sewer gas smell. Can anyone knowledgeable on this subject help me?
