I'm NERVOUS about an upcoming inspection to see what renovations are needed in my Sect. 8 apartment.
I'm a shut-in, am disabled with several disabilities, not the least of which is AMD blindness, a case of Vertigo that can't take noise and vibration without it setting me off and off-balance. The talk around the complex is that they'll be tearing out walls (oh, the noise!) and all my precious artwork could be ruined. Who will put things back the way I both need them to be and decorating-wise, the way I need to "see"?
Thusfar this housing complex has been relatively quiet but now with the renovations coming, is there anything I can do "within the System" to keep these changes to a minimum? My home is furnished w/rooms full & precious little extra space in this 1-BR apt.
How in God's name will they work around both me and my stuff? I'm also going blind and _need things orderly in order to function at all_.


Please help if you can, and please make it QUICK. Thanks

The light fixture is hanging from the outside ceiling of my doorstep and looks like a postlight figure. It is old and rusty. There are two screw-like knobs on top of the fixture. I've tried screwing or pulling them. But they just won't budge. Any idea how to open the casing?

I pulled out the cabinents above my stove to open up my kitchen as it was all boxed in. I am now ready to replace the range hood, but want to set it higher then it was. I have a high powered RECIRCULATING type. Not a direct vent. What is the maximum height I can get away with? On the web I saw a "RECOMMENDED" height of 30". I want to try and stretch this to 38"-40." Will it pass inspection if I go to sell my house.

Out of curiosity, what is the maximum height a direct vent with a powerful motor can be set at? Is it the same as a recirculating type?

Thanks!

I am a disabled woman but gardening is my passion, I have not been able to get my hands in the dirt in a long time except for house plants and flower pots. Well I finaly got a mobility scooter. After 3 years being inside my house I can now go out side. I still can't stand or bend but I saw a picture of raised gardening, I think I can work in. How can I build one with VERY LITTLE MONEY. I've looked on internet and they all cost over $100.00. That would be all my grocery money. any ideas?????

I have gotten quotes on a Kubota, Massey Ferguson, and Mahindra. I am still unsure of them is going to give me the best results for my bucks. I have a little heavy lifting to clear some property and move some things around. But I want a good machine that will do the job. I can't afford to spend more than $15,000 as I am retired and on a fixed income. Does anyone know anything about tractors. I was told the Massey Ferguson was the best, some say the Kubota, than someone else told me to go and check out the Mahindra. Any ideas, please do not reply if you know nothing on the subject. I would certainly appreciate any serious answers.

We have never used this type of air con before and some people tell us to leave windows doors open ect, others say to close the house completely as you do with refridgerated air con and some say a tiny gap is enough? It is just not really cool, and occasionlly gets muggy. What is the most effectave way to use these types of air con?

I moved my dryer to check the air vent, and when I moved it back the pilot light went out. It won't come back on, and I even changed the fuse. Any suggestions?

I'm putting in a stackable washer/dryer.

The manual says to use a 1-1/2" standpipe and make it 36" tall.

Now, a bunch of plumbers had a hissy fit over the 1-1/2" standpipe, so I'm going to go up to 2". If I compare the two by volume, a 36" 1-1/2" standpipe has the same volume as a 20" 2" standpipe. So is 20" the height I should use? Or does it not work that way?

I know you're not supposed to make it too short or it'll flood, or too tall which will put too much strain on your washer pump or something. So help me out here! Thanks!
