This alarm is hard-wired into the house. I removed the casing and I can't find where it would take a battery...just that it is hard-wired. It is beeping every minute. Does anyone know how I can get this to stop? I had a builder over today and he blew a breaker. Maybe that messed up the alarm? I can't sleep!!! Can anyone help me???

K, I realized that some of my shirts stretch where the hanger ends are. (The area where your shoulder is is held up by the hanger, then where the hanger ends the shirt drops.) But you end up with 2 hooks sticking out of your shirt on the shoulder area. Idk if this is a result of drying it on the clothesline and the weight of the water brings it down or if it's becuase I Don't use them often.

I am trying to find a film that NOBODY(i have nosey neighbors) can see through, even at night, however, I need to be able to see out-mainly because of the 'bad kids' in the neighborhood, and I have to be able to recognize their faces(they terrorize our farm animals). Anyway, I was looking at mirror privacy film, but my understanding is that people can look through the window at night. where would I get a film that I can see out of, but nobody can see in?

I am starting to just look around at apartments around my area online and get a good idea. What does it mean when it says laundry "Laundry Room" does that mean it's in the apartment or it's in another building somewhere where you gotta use the machines and pay or whatever. Looking for apartments with washer and dryer inside apartment.

We have a small bathroom that constantly has water/moisture running down the walls causing lines/marks on the paint that have to be wiped off every time someone showers. Plus, our central air unit was placed in the attic over this bathroom. What causes this? Is there some kind of treatment for the walls that will help?

Our toilet has had a problem with backing up and we fixed that ourselves by buying a snake thing not sure if thats what they call it and have bought liquid plumping stuff that unclogs it. That worked except it dosnt want flush and takes forever to flush. Our landlord told us we are responsible the first year for $100 of any problems with the trailer we are renting. If I am not mistaken I thought as a landlord its a law that YOU are responsible for any repairs? Am I right or wrong?? He put this in the lease but I honestly think hes trying to pull A Fast one because I never heard such a thing..

Last summer I spent a LOT for leaving the AC on just for a few hours a day to cool off, so I am wondering if I instead use the fan by itself, will it add on a big cost to my electricity bill?

I missed the cold water ground because they used plastic tubing. I missed the concrete encased because the slab was poured already. Tried to get by with just a ground rod, AHJ would'nt accept. Never ran a ground ring before. Am I on the right path?
