It's about 8 years old and every so often it thumps. I hope it's not about to crap out.

PS. I've been in the house for 3 years and it just started doing this.

I am running category five network cable down a house (and cannot put it inside) Would it be best to run this via PVC pipe and paint it using the same house color or is there a batter material that could be easily mounted on the side of the house?

House has a wood exterior and I am trying to maintain transparency.

The pool has fiberglass side walls which seem to be in good shape. below the walls looks to be the problem. The bottom needs to be redone and a new liner added. I'm not sure about the pump and filter system, I will have that tested. Just looking for some direction and wether it's worth fixing an an Idea of cost. I'm pretty handy and think I could do most of the work myself with some direction.

they came and worked on my phone ten days ago, and it hasn't worked right since. they have been out three times, each time saying it was fixed. as of today, i don't even have a dial tone. i can't reach them, because their email is answered by a computer that keeps telling me to use their online chat. when i try to use the chat, i get a screen saying that chat is not available in my area. when i call, i keep getting "all of our associates are busy". i have waited on hold for a total of 55 minutes without talking to anyone. i keep having to hang up because i need to do something else. is there any other place i can call or contact for help?

Random question, I know. I am wanting to use a mousetrap with bait (like money, or iTunes gift card, or something) to tempt my high school students (as part of a lesson plan). It could be really funny if the mousetrap actually goes off on one of their fingers, but would this cause serious damage? Anyone have experience in this?

The G.E. dryer has worked great for years. In fact, I've never had a problem with it. Now it heats up like before, and continues to spin, but shuts down the heat after a short time so the clothes don't dry.

I recently had tile work done in my home and was told the work would be completed by a certain day which it wasn't, was told that the workers would arrive to do the work at certain times and they wouldn't show up til 6 hours later and then stay until 11 and 12 at night. the work that was "done" was poor and sub-standard to say the least, we have made several complaints to the owner and he is demanding final payment when they haven't even finished the job!! They didn't install caulk around showers, tub or the sink where they laid the tile and never installed the baseboard mold when "they've completed" the job. Our commode still won't work, we called and our phone calls aren't answered, then all of a sudden a week later the contractor calls and asks if the commode has been repaired and we reply no. He says to take $60 off the remaining balance!!! what is our legal rights in paying this contractor and/or allowing him/his workers to "fix" the problem(s). We don't trust their work and have been cursed out by the contractor, please help..any lawyers out there?
