There was a leak in my ceiling from the upstairs shower. Now there is a bulging spot where the paint is chipping away. Can I wack away at it and re-do it with stuff from home depot? I have no idea how/what to do...

is it safe to use now , it is also a convection oven, can I put anything around shelf bracket support to stop this from doing it again, it seemed like it may have been a carbon build up but has left a small damage area to support . can I fill this with anything ? this microwave is about 15 years old but has been very very good until now and do not want to dump it

This is actually some additional info from my previous question a few weeks ago regarding my York central AC in the house we just bought. I went up into the attic and flipped the two switches on the side of the unit there. Sorry, I do not know what it is called, the furnace I believe. Now the light goes on on the thermostat when I move the switch to EM Heat so I know there is power to it. When I move the switch to cool and the fan to on, there is a clicking noise in the unit outside and in the box on the wall of the house. There are two boxes, one with a bunch of wires and another which has a pull-out switch you pull out and turn over to off or on. It is set to on. The box of wires also makes a low humming noise when the AC is switched on. The fan is still not turning on. Could there be a problem with the motor? I know nothing about AC so I am sorry I do not know the part names.

Is there anyway of calculating based on water temperature or pressure? I have no info from the original home owner or no knowledge of what company drilled the well. I'm curious about it's depth. The last owner says 60 feet but that simply can't be because I live on a hill much higher than 60 feet. If it were only 60 feet deep there should be water running out the side of my hill. Any ideas?

The woman says that it's been sitting for about a year, but that it's a contractor's heavy duty model. We'll be using it for about a week out at Burning Man, just at night for the most part, but ALL night. Should I be looking for anything in particular that says it's in bad shape?

Bathroom facet drips constantly. I put in a new washer, that's not it. It's a single handle, like a hotel faucet...just the round flat knob in the middle you pull up and push down. LOTS of water being wasted. Thanks for all who help!

In the only hallway of my home I noticed some driplike residue on my paint near the top of my walls. The area is not wet and it washes off no problem. Now we have had some strangely strong rains recently and we have had some extreme heat for our area.
I am defainely going to keep my eye on the area and if the probelm persists, I plan to call an inspector for a home inspection or a roofer! What do you think?
