I live in a small 900 sq. ft. home. My heat pump quit working and now I am using small space heaters which seem to heat my home better than the heat pump. I am using a total of 3 1500 watt electric space heaters that cut on and off according to degree of temperature in my home. I don't want to make my electric bill sky rocket, so I am trying to decide whether to go ahead and get my heat pump serviced or to wait and keep using the small heaters. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

When I replaced the battery in a PIR, the Pir still did not work. There is a length of stiff wire in the Pir, is this a tamper device? If so how do I overcome it?

My kids spilled red kool-aid on my living room carpet and I've tried putting woollite carpet cleaner on it with some sort of oxygen cleaner in it, but it didn't help it. Does anybody else have anything else that get it clean?

What is the minimum depth it can be? Is it more likely to freeze solid being above ground?

One side of the enterance to my driveway has a short retaining wall and in the spring, there are blooming plants that pour over the wall - it's really pretty. The other side is level with the drive, no wall, and I want to make it mirror the other side.

Problem is, there's a tree there that I don't want to remove. It's a mature tree that turns vibrant yellow in the spring and then turns green in the summer. I don't know what kind of tree it is.

I think if I put a lot of dirt there, around the base of the trunk, I might smother the tree. I thought maybe if the build-up of dirt was done gradually, it might work.

I need to "raise" the tree about three feet for it to work, so the level will match the other side of the drive . Any ideas about this?

My apartment building must have been built in the 1960s or so. I doubt there is much insulation in the walls. I put window film on the windows as they leak so much air it is pathetic. Any ideas on what to do with the walls? I was wondering if I purchased sheets of the foam insulation, for example at Home Depot - you know the thin blue foam sheets - and put them up on the inside of the exterior walls - would that help any? My desk is next to an exterior wall and there is LITERALLY a cold draft coming off the wall -

I have to pay for heat but apartment management won't let me install a programmable thermostat and obviously they are not going to do anything about the insulation or the windows.

Any thoughts would be most appreciated!
