we have a bathroom on the second floor that has a domed plexiglas sky lite every time some one takes a shower on a humid day the sky lite will form beads of condensation on the inside. The condensation forms and follows the plexiglas down to the drywall and causes the drywall tape to peel off all of the inside corners, there is no trim between the drywall and the skylite.Please help me find a way to eliminate this problem. The sky lite does not leak from the outside it is only the condensation that is causing our dilema. The ceiling in the bathroom is a cathedral ceiling.

How do you do it? Do you need to do it in the summer when windows can be open or can you do it in the winter? How long does it take? Will there be fumes in the house?

ok there is an old rumor in my family about my great grandfathers burring almost a 100k back in the 40's after the great depression. My father and i both have a very good idea of where it is buried at and were wondering, what are the chances the money is still good. I know if the serial numbers are still visible then it can be spent. The money was wrapped in newspaper, and then cloth, placed in mason jars, and then placed in side a clay box type thing. It was the placed under the ground about 18 inches and a 3 inch layer os concrete was placed on top. How long will the money stay in okay condition, its been under the ground for almost 65 years?

Sometimes it does this, sometimes it doesn't. But it does it enough so that it's going around that we are all going to have to pitch in to buy a new one. I can't afford that, and I can't go job searching right now so I hoping this can be fixed.

You put in a time and press start. The microwave works but then shuts off after about 8 or 10 seconds. It took 6 tries to get my oatmeal cooked this morning. What would cause a microwave to shut off after about 8 or 10 seconds repeatedly? But not always?

How do you stick to it and what does it consist of, e.g. hoover every tuesday and thursday...Iron on Thursday night.

What have you found that works for you?

Are there any ready made schedules available anywhere so I can be sure I dont miss something out?

Thanks

I heard a story from a guy who tried and tried to get this plug out, at the trap. It had a square block as usual on the top for putting a pipe wrench. He called a plumber. When the plumber came, the homeowner left the room for no more than a minute and the guy had it off, with no noise or banging. When asked how he did it, he said "trade secret". Anybody know? I have to get my plug off too.

Don't get me wrong, eventually I will call a repairman, but would like to be prepared, you see, I am currently living in Mexico and here they treat women like were are too dense to understand anything, so they give you some garbled explanation to hike the bill, something that does not happen when it is a male that requests the service.

Does it take any special plumber tools? I am very mechanically inclined but I know that in some plumbing jobs it takes special tools. I want to changing a basic 4" bathroom vanity faucet. Anyone have some pointers out there? Or should I call a plumber?

I have a Gap coat that is 65% wool, 30% nylon, and 5% other fibers (whatever that means). Should I risk putting it in the washing machine? I need it for a funeral service this evening.
