She has this problem all the time, I don't know what the problem is. I think it's the sump pump.. her bathroom has been over flooded w/crap and water. How much would a plumber be and do you think they'd bill her? Or is it due upon completion of the work? She doesn't get paid for another 2 weeks.

*It seems like everyone is needing a plumber this time of year.

When you used the hot water for approximately 10 minutes should a lot of electricity be used in heating the hot water system again.

We have an older meter with the discs and after using the hot water it spins very fast whilest when using other appliances like the tv and computer it spins very slowly. We have a fish tank pump and a fridge continously going 24 hours and it still doesn't spin that fast. Only when the hot water system has been used.

Does that usually happen or does it mean that the hot water system is packing it in?

Our electricity bill was much higher and I was just wondering if this could be caused by the hot water system?

I've unplugged the electricity leading to the stove and that made the lighters stop. Will I have to replace the whole stove or is this fixable? If it is fixable how much am I looking at as far as cost?

My dishwasher has quit and it's going to cost to much to repair so I think just buying a new one is the best way to go. I'm thinking installing a new one shouldn't be to hard. If you've installed one let me know how tough it was.

Also, I'm looking at a Whirlpool to buy. If you have one is it good?

Around my windows the wall looks wavy. At first I thought it was water damage and then I seen some on a wall with no windows. Then i thought maybe the roof was leaking. But the wavy wall starts from the floor and goes up. Not quite to the ceiling. I can poke my finger through the wall too. Could it be termites??

I don't know why, but my towels have a sour smell. I put them in the dryer right after the wash is done, I wash them regularly, but still they get a nasty smell to them.

I just purchased a 70-yr-old house...after the closing, I notice there are many problems in the house.
1. A/C (upstair is "super" hot...and the downstair is cool)...does anyone know how much does it cost to fix the AC? (the house it's about 2000 sq. ft.) or is there any programs will help to check it out or fix it?
2. Mold in the kitchen (it was flooded before, but seller fixed it)....there's always a smell when we come home from outside.
3. Roof leaking...right onto my bed (when I first saw the house, everything is nice and pretty...so I didn't know the roof has problem)
4. I notice when flies get into the house....they die the next couple days...I don't know why...is there not enough oxygen in my house....(my family's health is fine though)
5. The power lines at the backyard is very...complicated, many lines tangle together with some old cable plugs...is there a program or who should I talk to ...to make sure those wiring are hooked up correctly and safe?
Thank you very much.

I am in Michigan. They are still green- and about 2 feet high. They have not bloomed since late spring.
Can I dig up the roots/blubs now? How do I store/handle for winter? Never done anything like this before.
