I used a 14 inch pipe wrench and it is much too heavy. I would like to use something that is easier to handle.

My condo assoc. had an exterminator come out and get rid of the nest that was near the window, and they also said they would have someone check and caulk around the windows where the bees are getting in...but that didn't seem to work because I am still getting 2-4 bees in my house per day. Any suggestions? Should I have a window company come out and pull out the windows and insulate and seal them back up? HELP!!!

I've recently installed laminated shiney worktops in my bathroom and to my horror they are beginning to scratch, even though I have been extremely careful with them. Is there anything that I can put on to stop the scratching and anything I can use to remove the scratches that have already occurred? Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Sue

I am edging an area that has no grass. To make the edge into a straight line, I have to pull up about 6 inches of grass for about 40 feet. Right now, I am using a garden hoe. But it is slow and tedious. Any other suggestions?

I was curious if a house A/C puts out a constant temp or variable temp based on thermostat setting? In other words..is the air pushed out of the vents proportional to the thermostat set temperature?

There are 2 rooms totalling about 500 sq.ft. that the ceilings need to be mud,taped, and textured. Then there is about 500 sq ft. of wall that needs the same, and the other 700 sq feet, have already been mud/taped and textured, but I'd like new texture (heavy knock down) on top of this. We have 1 estimate but would like another to know if I've been quoted a good price or not. The corners need the metal stripping around them as do the windows. Thanks for your time.

4 months ago I had a new submersible pump installed,(piping, gauges, the whole 9 yards). Things were fine for a while then my inside pressure dropped. I irrigate my acre overnight each night and can use my outdoor shower without any problems, the pressure is great. Only at my indoor showers, and sinks is the pressure quite low.

We plan to build a new house in north Dallas. We asked our builder to install steel piers and they said because of the soil in the area have lots of rocks, steel piers are not needed. They actually may harm the foundation. Is this true?

I'm thinking dirty ducts, because the furnace filter has been replaced. The only other culprit is a former tenant used a grill near the back of the building, and the smoke may have gotten into the unit and discolored the walls.
