Maintenance & Repairs - August 2006

i think they would serve a number of beneficial purposes,, keep out rodents and insects for one...keeping your floor joists dry for another..If i ever built a house i would insist on it being done...any thoughts?? I had problems with rodents actually digging under my foundation and my floor joists are showing some rot...If i had a ton of money i would have concrete poured in my current crawl space..

My guess is that it is lime. My mom moved into a townhouse and they rigged the runoff from her air conditioner to drip into one of her bathtubs. She is not too happy about it.

Any ideas?

I have a Murray 22" cut 4.0 HP Spirit push mower. I was mowing the grass and it was running fine.I decided to replace the blade on it as the blade was worn out. While I had it on its side, I decided to change the oil in it as well. I cleaned out all the grass that was caked on under the deck. I put the lawn mower back on the ground and was going to try to start it as I was going to mow some more.The mower is only about 2 years old. I have only had to push the primer button 3 or 4 times and fires right up every time. Anyway, when I got ready to start the mower, I pulled the cord on it a couple of times and it locked up on me. I could turn the blade manually (hard to turn) but I turn it and free it up and pull the cord again and the same thing would happen again, it would lock up.I have done this same thing several times, it locks up I turn the blade manually and 3 pulls it locks up. Help me out, what is causing this problem.

this house we bought has a loft (attic) which is fully boarded, when I lifted a board there is no insulation under it. Should I pull all the boards up and fill the gap with glassfibre insulation or not bother? (We are in an area with cold winters)

My fridge is part of a fridge-freezer. The fridge has a temperature of about 10.c which is too high. Inside is a dial with range from 1-7, right now it is set on 7 as I told this will make my fridge the coldest (is this right?). I have just cleaned the fridge and the drainage pipe was blocked, would this be a reason for my fridge to being so warm?

I've been renting my apartment for over ten years. My curtains are falling apart and many of the other apartments had them replaced with blinds when the tenants changed. Shouldn't I get the blinds too? Also, what's my recorse of the outside glass door is always broken and the security lights have not been fixed as I've requested numerous times?

My wife's cousin did a lousy job of putting up some drywall in the attic. In several areas, long cracks have appeared where the sections of drywall meet. My wife says to just fill them with something, sand and repaint. I say it needs to be rough sanded down to the drywall, retaped, mudded, sanded and repainted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I must admit that I am a newbie to this sort of thing but believe that it is well within my abilities. If you give any advise, could you be as specific as possible? Thanks in advance.

The toilet is less than 1 year old. It has one of those newer type of floats. It slides up and down to adjust it but no matter where I put it the water keeps running in the tank. I can stop the water by pulling up on the float manually after every flush. But my boyfriend doesnt seem to understand how to do that. Can someone suggest how to fix the toilet please?

About 3/8ths inch wide. I flushed it and now my wife is mad. Her Dad's a plumber in another state (no, we are NOT calling him to ask this question).

and someone suggested LED bulbs, which I've not seen before for domestic use - I've only seen compact flourescent (energy savers) and ordinary incandescent bulbs. Anyone used the LED ones? are they good?
