Home & Garden - 15 February 2007

I bought a house over a year ago and after having researched various property sites I suspect that the house was grossly overvalued.
The vendor worked for the Estate Agents that marketed the house. The survey I commissioned, after a cursory inspection not worth the paper it was written on,just agreed!
Can I complain?

I touch them upstaits and they are cold, But in the ground floor it's pretty warm. I put the thermostat all the way up and it still does not help.

I tried everything. I bought an electronic mouse trap putting peanut butter, cheese, and meat into it. It won't go in there. I have sticky mouse traps all over the place. I bought packs of poisonous food. It won't eat them. I even rolled the poison into cheese; the mouse ate some but it still runs around.

How do I get rid of it? I'm afraid it could get bacteria or some virus into the home.

I was talking with a friend while working to work and we start to recall certain DIY things that went wrong.
Do you remember the polystyrene tiles back in the 60's well our story is:
My father put them onto the ceiling fine looked nice clean and tidy until we sat down to eat one evening as we got into the conversation one by one the tiles fell landing on the people below!
the whole ceiling was then left without the tiles and all I remember is having fits and tears streaming down my face, poor dad!
Anyone had anything similar?

It dosen't fill up properly and dosen't flush without topping the water out in the back. So there is not enough pressure to flush it twice in row.

The heat cannot be turned down and runs in the 80's. In the summer, it is intolerable. There are no vents and no windows. One door to an interior room without the same. A free-standing airconditioner was brought to the office, but the hose had to be run out the door, through the adjacent room to a hallway. Environmental services said "No". Air conditioning is too expensive. Do you have experience to give that would solve my air-quality and heat problem?

We just moved into a new place, and the dishwasher is pretty dirty. Can I put CLR into the soap dispenser and run it empty to clean it? If not, what can I do?
