Ok we got this new expensive refrigerator , we had it for about 6 months and today it stopped making ice, water comes out when you push button but no ice, water doesnt go to that thing where ice is being made ,what could be wrong? because you can usually hear when water is being filled into little containers, it doesnt do it anymore.

Ever seen one of these nails holding tongue-and-groove floorboards together in old houses? The nails are rather blunt and crude looking compared to modern nails. They seem to be made of pure iron, rather than steel, and they often have a thin coating of rust on their surface. They are nearly impossible to extract from the floor from above, because they have no head. They are extremely rigid, but fragile. When you strike them from underneath the floor with a hammer, they produce many sparks, and often snap apart after you hit them 2 or 3 times. I'm trying to determine during what time frame people built houses using this type of "antique" nail. My feeling is that they were used as late as the 1940s. Does anyone know for sure?

Our house got lots of rain in the past two weeks. We thought we didn't get it in our finished basement, but the room started smelling bad. We now realize that a small amount of water must have come through behind the drywall and entered the edge of the carpet on one side of the room.

Is it time to trash the carpet, or should we try to fix it (or have a professional carpet cleaner come) before we have it replaced?

(If new carpet is needed, I assume that I'll need to break down the drywall and get out any remaining undeen water or moisture before any new carpeting comes in.)

Thanks.

(If you need more info to answer, please let me know. I'll add it.)

It's a 12 horsepower lawnmower and when ever I go down hill or I back up and stop suddenly the motor almost cut off and starts smoking black smoke. Any ideas?

I have a new house. The window frames are not caulked on the outside where the vinyl siding butts to the window frame. Should they be caulked? Seems like a blowing rain would get behind the siding.

I live in the southern USA and am considering putting gutters onto the existing roof of our house. I don't know why there are no gutters on the roof now (houses nearby with the same floor plan have them), a previous owner must not have wanted to pay for them when the roof was repaired. Whatever the reason, it was a terrible decision, you cannot get into the house when it is raining without getting very wet. It is a two story house with a very simple roof line (no corners or bends). What is the typical cost to install a 30' gutter?

My current roof is about 28 years old. It's in pretty good shape. No missing shingles or curling etc. There's a little discoloration on one edge.
