I have older vinyl tubs in my house that have wear and tear including small nicks and cracks. I was woundering if there was a inexpenceive way to fill them. I DO NOT have the money to replace the tubs or to have a company like Bath Fitters to do it.

I have an electric wall socket that seems to have a problem. When I plugged a heater into that socket the plug and cord got warm. The plug seems to be loose. Of course, I am no longer using that socket, but how hard would it be for the fairly ignorant to replace the socket. Could I buy a new outlet, turn off the breaker, attach the new outlet? Would I need to solder? What kinds of tools would be needed? I wouldn't need a permit, would I?
I just finished fixing a toilet and am feeling like I could tackle it, but i have never done such a thing before...

After we had a voltage surge yesterday, that knocked out everything with a bulb or picture tube and ruined them: Including a 36 inch Television, a computer monitor, and every light in the house, ... My local electric company (which of course is the only game in town.) informed me that I don't have the surge protection service that they offer so nothing is covered.

BUT... If I joined up, and paid a fee of $45.00 + $6 per month maintence fee, then... if there was a regular surge, it would block it, and keep things from getting messed up.

UNLESS... it was a voltage surge, which they do not provide a service for, and in such an event, nothing would be covered anyway.

Do they have the right to do this? What are my options before I go out and replace everything only to have it get destroyed all over again? (which she made sure she pointed out to me as a possibility...)

Anyone know anything about power companies and what they are legally responsable for?

I sweep the snow away & try to eliminate all moisture, but it still happens. It's even pulling away the floor paint now.

I am planting a veggie garden this spring and I want to know if chicken wire is enough to keep racoons and other pests out of it ?
Do you think deer will jump over the fence and eat everything in sight ? Last summer I was growing watermelons and pumpkins ...one day they where there and then the next morning they were no where to be found ..what do you think would have eaten them ? ( they didn't even flower yet.)

Some of my silverware has small splotches of rust on them. Is this harmful? What causes this? Does it make a difference if I wash them in my dishwasher or by hand? Thanks.

Hi,my floors in my house are sloping going to back of the house.I estimate to be around 2 inch sag possibly 3.The sag is indeed in the middle.We had repairs done to the deteriorated sills and they were replaced,2 long sections of the beam.The contractor obviously did not know what he was doing because the floors are still the same and we were out half the expense of 3k,which he wanted upfront.The sag is worser because the contractor moved a pier or post that was under the beam(kitchen area) and put it directly under the bathroom joist.Things were settling afterwards and doors were getting stuck and staying that way for maybe a week at different intervals.I will like to jack it myself.I was informed to take sills and nail together for beam to spread load out(under joist) and put one on both sides(middle of floor) of the sagging area with bottle or screw jacks at both ends and lift it.Is this correct? do both beam at same time? post stay in place?
700 sq ft, 25x27 dimensions, tell how?
