I was in my crawl space the other day and noticed that there is a lot of condensation on the air conditioning duct work, and it is dripping on top of the vapor barrier. I also noticed that moisture seems high in the crawl space - insulation is damp also.

This seems bad. What kind of technician should I call to look at this problem? An air conditioning repairman, plumber, or other more specific kind of person?

I live in virginia if you know of any regionally specific options.

Thanks.

There's no specific source of the odor, but it only occurs when it's very warm outside. It's done this for several years and a completely new H/AC system. AC drains outside. It doesn't appear to be caused by open traps and we really can't find a general smell in the crawlspace ( although I must admit, I can't get down there when it occurs because the entrance to the crawl is too small for me). The house is 50 years old but is very tight. There's no smell in the attic. Plumbers report no smell in the crawl, but haven't been down when the smell occured. The mystery is worse than the odor. It smells bad, but not horrible. It's not a moldy smell, although the crawl is typically cool and musty. The only consistencies are the outside hot temperature and the use of the AC being the triggers-no problem in the cooler morning or evening AC or using the heat in the winter. If someone can figure this out, a small army of baffled plumbers and sewer experts (and us) will be greatful!

i own a Craftsman Eager 21" 6.5HP Mulcher Lawn Mower (Model #: 944.362520). I recently replaced the blade with a new mulching blade but now Im wondering if it was installed correctly. How can i be sure the mulching blade isn't installed upside down as I can quite easily install it either way.

There is a imprint on the blade that says this side down which i installed it as but how can i be sure this is correct for my mower?

The blade also had the imprint:
#189028

I'm trying to find out if Makita makes decent power tools, from what I've read online even their general models are strong, and long lasting. Every review I've read about them is positive, does everyone agree?

Also, when the shower rod pulled out of the wall it left deep grooves where the screws slid against the wall. I need to know how to fix the grooves before I reinstall the shower rod.

We had a brown out followed by a blackout. Half the house is now without power. I've flipped all the breakers to no avail. What am I missing? It's not just a short in an appliance as it effects rooms that are on several different breakers. Could the breaker have burned out or something? Is it possible the neighborhood is still underpowered, and it's causing this? (Seems unlikely)

My neighbor just had her whole a/c system ( including condenser, ouside fan, thermostat, etc.) replaced. She paid $8000 and thinks she got a good deal. I think the company overcharged her. Her condo is a two story with approx. 1300 sq. ft. We live in Orange County, CA. Was she overcharged? If you had your a/c replaced, how much did you pay? and how big is your home?

After the marble floors were set, acid wash was used to clean the grout from the tiles and in the process, the "shine" or "luster" was also stripped. What do I do to restore the glossy finish?
