The previous owner of our property planted trees...he planted them on our towns property...about 2 feet over the property line. We bought the home 8 years ago and the trees have grown since. The trees are dangerous because big limbs keep falling off them on to our property. Should I ask the town to cut the trees down? These trees are half rotten.

I am considering moving into rented accomdation and leaving my family home. I just wanted to know, how much, on average, do you spend on gas, electric and water?

I work 9-5 and I am out most weekends. I would have a tv, shower daily, electric cooker etc. How much per month or quarter do you think my bills would be?

I just replaced my floors, and have some spacing even after re-installing the original trim (yes, I'm a novice!). I'm adding some quarter-round onto the trim to cover up the spacing in some areas.
I want to glue it down, but I'm not sure if I should glue it on the floor side or wall/trim side? Help!

Can my 1/2" gas pipe deliver a combined 60,000 BTU with no problems?

I have just replaced my older electric clothes dryer with a new gas dryer (rated at 22,000 BTU) and would like to tap into my existing 1/2" gas pipe that feeds my water heater 8 feet away (rated at 34,000 BTU). I have spoke with plumbers and they are 50/50 on telling me that the existing 1/2" line will not provide enough BTU for optimum performance on both my water heater and clothes dryer.

I do not want to get ripped off as the job is $600 more expensive if I have to repipe 3/4" gas to the appliances nor do I want my clothes dryer to run for hours because not enough gas is available to dry my clothes.

Any help is greatly appreciated - and if you are an expert in this field say so in your answer !
