I am renting a house and the heater downstairs wasn't working. The guy that worked on it was like, "Oh wow, that's definitely asbestos tape". All the corners of the ducts are taped. Is it harmful, and should I move or sue the landlord? I have no idea what it means, but the word asbestos just sacares me!

PLEASE HELP!!

I got a used manual crank cream seperator and it didn't come with instructions. Can anyone tell me how I am suppossed to use it - I have taken it apart - checked the cones, everything looks good. Should I start cranking - get it up to speed and then pour the milk in? It looks like this one : http://novocreamseparators.com
except it is not electric. I tried contacting the company but they are not cooperative. Any advice would be welcome! - Thanks!

I would like to buy a cordless drill/driver but would not be using on a regular basis (well... most of the time... infrequently). Would that do damage to the rechargeable batteries? Would it be better to only charge prior to when I know I will be needing to use it?
Any insight would be helpful. Thxs.

I need a Plain Jane explination of a ground loop.
I am a visual learner and have no visual to learn. so explain it to me for how it looks.

This is MECP study guide explanation:
Ground Loops result when all the components in an audio system do not see exactly the same ground. huh?

Differences in degrees of being grounded are called ground potential. huh?

Again please explain in how it looks to the eye, then explain the deffinitions I just gave you.

Also is a ground loop a bad thing?

(this is for car audio by the way)

My Tefal Ultra Diffusion 70 iron has worked OK for years, and occasionally it would spout brown muck with water and would stain my shirts.
However now it has started to erupt and there is loads of brown stuff.
I don't have the manual, but it talks about self-clean on the website.
How can I get this stuff out of the iron?

Tub is only 4.5 to 5 yrs old. No warning problems. The in tub wall mount switch seems to push in easier than usual. Still has some resistnce but not like normal when it worked. There is no sound or attempt to start. I am thinking it is the switch. Can switch b replaced without taking marble outer sheet off?? If not, will I need to call the marble guy and the tub/jacuzzi guy?? Or gal/gals?

I am trying the "sonic" thing, little packs of rat bait in a bag, beating them with a stick, etc. To be fair, I've only given it a few days, but they are still there. Never had this problem in 7 years of living here. What else can I do? Or should I just wait and believe that what I'm doing will work? The dogs, that live in the garage, are pretty oblivious, although they'll go after a squirrel in 2 seconds flat. They have tunneled below the garage (and I assume are living there) as well as living IN the garage, getting up into car motors etc. HELP!

Our house is 50 years old with plaster walls. We are scraping off old wall paper and paint which is coming off nicely. The plaster is very smooth and shiney. I am wondering if the paint will stick properly to the plaster. Will primer and paint be OK or do we have to do something else?
