Home & Garden - 21 March 2007

The basement in our 100+ year old home has a water problem. We have some seeping coming in between the wall and floor and I've found several options for fixing that issue. We also have some small cracks and and a couple of holes in the middle of the floor. Not drainage holes just places where the concrete came up or cracked. When the water level is above the floor of the basement (almost always) we have water coming in these places. Does anyone know of a do it yourself fix?

The tiles have a slightly raised pattern so they are not smooth. The self-adhesive hooks I've tried won't work and neither will superglue.

The Red LED light goes on and my combi boiler goes off, so I am having to regularly reset the boiler. I have checked the pressure and it seams to be ok (at 1 – 1.5 bar). Anyone knows what is wrong?

I'm thinking about getting myself a heavy bag. The only thing stopping me at the moment is the fact that I have plaster calls and ceiling. That means that I don't know if I'm going to be able to hang something that heavy off of it. Does anybody know anything about this kind of thing? I'm also living in an appartment, so I don't want to annoy my neighbours. Any suggestions? I've already thought about getting a stand but at the moment that is not an opption, since they don't seem to sell them europe (well UK but I'm a little further away than that). thanks for the help!

My condo is on the second floor with a "semi private" basement, meaning i go out my front door to the hall, down steps and then to my basement which is through a locked door. My heating system is loacted inthe basement and my cold air return system is simply in wall with no ductwork, just directed with the studs. My downstairs neighbor smells horrible and it appears that our cold air returns are on the same wall and I beleive are shared. I can smell him in the cold air return and when I turn on my heat his smell pours out of my vents. I have two questions. First, is it legal for a condo in Pennsylvania to share cold air returns? Second, please give me ideas of how to fix this problem!!! Is there something I can install at the furnace to filter out his smell? Also if the cold air return is between the studs, does that mean it should be open all the way to the basement which would allow me to drop my own ductowk in and route it directly to the basement? Please help!!!

I have a MEM breaker box. I had wall lights, which no longer work. The main light in the living room no comes on very dim when switched on, but in doing so it also turns the small spotlights in the kitchen on. The main light in the kitchen no longer works and the garage light won't come on either. It is just these rooms affected. Upstairs is all fine, except for one room that a main light won't switch on at all. Could there be a problem with one of the MEM breaker switches? Are these fused?

If a lighting fixture has a rating not to exceed a certain wattage, since flourescents use less energy, can I use a higher wattage flourescent light in that fixture?

I have seen for sale plastic lumber you are supposed to be able to use for raised bed gardens. Apparently they do not fade, crack, split, etc., but I would like to know your thoughts and maybe experiences with this sort of product. Also, is it really worth the investment?
