Maintenance & Repairs - July 2006

I want to make a 12' X 25' section of my yard into an additional driveway. The area is level and already has street access. I don't really care about anything other then price. I only plan to live here another 5-7 years, so it doesn't even have to last much longer then that. I really just need to prevent my cars from getting stuck! I live in the middle atlantic for price/weather referance. Any rough ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I am still remodeling my home from Hurricane Katrina. My front front room flooring is tile, but whoever put it down GLUED it down. I have tried using a floor scraper, to no avail. The easiest way is to get down on the floor with a hammer, and a hand scraper, and beat it half to death until it gives.....which where's me out quickly. So, if ANYONE knows how I can get this floor up in an easier fasion please contact me. Thank you , Starr

Hi, luck me, I blew a gasline and spilled gasoline onto the asphalt
driveway. It left a large, black spot (the asphalt is old and faded).
Is there anyway to get the stain off? Thanks, John.

saucepans are old, well out of warranty, but still great, but wooden handles now very dangerous.

Its a standard gas grill like we have throughout the USA. The hose runs from the grill to the tank. Its one of those tanks you can get refilled at the convenience store. The connector on the hose is stuck on the tank.

2 year old Craftsman Garage Door opener and door intermitantly opens and closes partway. Was fine for 1.5+ years. No obstuction. Balanced, Oiled, eye seems OK since the green light is constantly on on the sending side. I am going to play with some settings next such as up and down force. Will do reversal safety check afterwards. Track style, chain driven. It is a light door with newer style internal springs and seems balanced in any position. It does not roll effortlessly, but not too difficult to pull/push.
Door seams to reverse only when it should and is not too sensitive. The door just stops and does not move, until you push a button again, and then it either continues on or occasionally reverses. It seemed to work great for a dozen tries after oiling the hinges, but is up to its old tricks. Do you have other ideas or am I stuck calling a pro when it seems like only an adjustment is needed. Any advice from a handy person.

in summer when turning AC on lights go off. Someone told me that I have low voltage wiring, but I had an electrician come over this friday and he said that my voltage wiring is pretty good. So I don't know what the real problem is. He said that I needed to check on the AC, that it might be somenthing wrong with it. I don't know, what's also funny that when lights go off, that MAIN cuircuit braker goes off instead of the actual cuircuit braker where the AC in conected too.
Can someone help me or refer me to someone that is really good to check if posible both Electrical and Force Air person? You know sometimes there are people that can do both things? I am in Chicago, IL.
Thanks :)

A bag of flour busted open and to avoid a mess I rushed it into my kitchen sink. I scopped up as much as I could but a lot did get into the garbage disposal. I washed the rest down with hot water but now it' stopped up. Tried drano and plunger but that didn't work. Disposal operates but just displaces water to the other side of the dual sink. Will a snake work? Can the flour harden into a tough dough and really case a nightmare?

The builder dug up one side under house and added more concrete footers. Everything is cracking again. I understand "settlement" cracks but just one side of the house sinks and makes the foundation and everything crack. He did the repairs about 3 years ago. My question is who is responsible for fixing this now the house is seven years old? I need to know before contacting him. My whole front porch has moved away from the house. It looks awful. If anybody knows how long the builder is responsible or am I????

Hi, my window air conditioner just doesn't seem to be cooling like I know it should be. I recently bought it, within 2 months and at first it wasn't a big deal but it's getting hot now and I want to know if the problem is fixable. The unit is just in my bedroom so it's not meant to cool a lot, small bedroom. The air that comes out of it isn't very cool although it is slightly cooler than what would come from a fan. I've got no idea what the problem is but the things brand new practically. I would have taken it back already but I lost the reciept at some point. Any help would be appreaciated, thanks.
