I'm asking in multiple catagories as this is bad, we have a swamp cooler and I never have used one in my life and my allergies have never been this bad, my husband uses these straw like filters and they looked covered in mold or black goo when he changed them just now, he says they are better than foam ones, which is best? I cant seem to find info on the web about this, and i know swamp coolers are called something else besides too, what are they called?
thank you!

So, I hate painting. I want to repaint my living and dining in the next couple of weeks and I don't want to hire someone to do it. I am considering getting a paint sprayer to make it easier for me to get it done faster. What do you think? What are the pros and cons of me doing this? To me I don't feel there is many cons, so I am looking for an outside view... Also, what paint sprayers would you recommend? Thanks for all your comments in advance!

We purchased a VERY Old house (1921) and everything is ok on it so far, we updated almost everything inside and out, we even have a brand new A/C unit, my question is: Why the AC runs all the time?, i know that when is 100 degrees outside you can't help it but i think it's not right to be running for like 30 min. stops for 5min. and starts again, is this ok?, i know is not! but can someone give me some advice?, the last thing i did was cellulose in the attic (like 10"), the ceiling is 9 feet tall, we have ceiling fans all over the house (ac is 2,5 ton) , BUT!, the last thing i saw was THE WALLS!!!, they are about 3 inches thick!!!. Since it's a wood frame, stucco on the outside, and 1/2 inch new drywall and that's IT?, can THAT be the problem on why we can't keep the house COOL?, no leaks on windows (brand new). Can i add 2x4 studs, insulation and then another layer of drywall to make it feel better???, what's the solution here??? Thanks for ALL the help.

I'm looking for a tree seed that can be found on the ground (or getting it from a tree), that can sprout the fastest, like apple seeds, pear seeds, etc. I need it to be able to sprout fast and can be found on the ground or in a fruit.

I have two pressure tanks on my water system. One tank is on the line from the well to a water holding tank. The other is from the water holding tank to the plumbing inside the home. My question is do I really need the first pressure tank that goes on the well to holding tank line. The tank has started to leak but after looking at the set up I can not see why it is needed.

Any suggestions will be appreciated...thanks.

Hi Everyone! I am pet/house sitting and last night I ended up getting locked out of the house. The door didn't unlock all the way when I got in, so when I braught the dogs out and closed the door behind me, it locked back - my keys inside! I ended up finally getting in, but I tried using a bent keyring to jimmy the lock and the tip broke off ! Well, the homeowners come home today, and I still have not gotten the metal out of the doorlock - it's jammed in, and it's blocking the keyhole. I feel horrible because the last pet/house sitter they had ended up making some really big and possibly dangerous mistakes, and that caused alot of mistrust and they eneded up firing her. I don't want to look irresponsible! So how do I get this jammed peice of metal out of the doorlock? Help! Thanks :-)
