Do It Yourself (DIY) - August 2007

Well water is dripping quite steadily from my ceiling about a a foot out from my vent opening. I am thinking it is from condensation(and a lot of it) for it started as soon as i turned up my air conditioning. Now it does not always do this so I am thinking its humidity/condensation. Has any of you had this problem? The plaster is kinda bubbled out from the water and everything. Water is not pouring but its a slow drip...drip...drip...and its slowly stopping and drying since i turned the air off. WILL BUYING A SMALL INEXPENSIVE DEHUMIDIFIER FOR THAT ROOM SOLVE THE PROBLEM?

I have a 4" to 6" PVC shaft for my well. Coming from my house is the wires that go to the electric submursalbe pump that I beleive is at the bottom of this shaft. I believe I have a bad pump due to it works gfopr a few seconds and shuts off. I added 20 min of city water to my well just in case it was dry and the pump worked for 40 seconds. So I think I need to remove the pump to replace it. Someone has tired a nylon ropr to the pump but it won't budge. I also notice a rode down approx 4' from the top. not sure if this someho plays a role in the removal of the pump?

My husband and I have a bought a large old full 2 story house. It needs to be gutted and mostly redone. We plan to renovate the main floor first so that we can move in by Oct 1st and finish the basement and upper floor as we live there. This house needs new roof, new plumbing, new elecric, it is having some walls knocked down and replaced with beams, needs the walls insulated, new walls put up, change windows, it also has no kitchen and no bathrrom. Plus it needs all the lath and plaster knocked out. We can do any of these things ourselves but need to hire out alot of the work to have it done in time. What things should we do and which should we hire out to save the most money?

Any ideas?
