Maintenance & Repairs - August 2006

Someone left a cigarette fall on my carpet at a party and it must have somehow burned into the carpet before i found it (it was out then, thank heavens). I\ve tried everything and i don't have the cash to purchase a new wall to wall carpet.
thanks for any kind of advice you can give me.

It's monsoon season in west texas!Our house used to be my dad's workshop,it was built on a slope(everything flows downhill toward the draw)and there is a step going from the kitchen to the livingroom that is not very well blocked off to the underneath of the house.We have recieved 4 inches of rain in a 24 hr period, and my livingroom had two inches of standing water.The rain has stopped for now,my kids and I have swept most of the water out and placed fans around the living room,but I'm afraid it will start flooding again before my husband gets home from work.The phone is out,so I am unable to contact him.I have sent an e-mail to my dad,but am unsure if he will check his mail.I have also walked to all the nearest neighbors,but no one is home and even if they were,I doubt their phones work either.It is not a crisis level situation,but I am pretty darned scared.What is my best course of action?Someone please repond and help me!!

I didn't have to run it at all this summer but am wondering if I should run it a little bit to keep seals from drying out as with auto A/C units. Thanks.

I already know that replacement is an option, but I'm trying to avoid that. Any suggestions backed by experience?

Any suggestions on this. My dog only sleeps in my bedroom, But he gets pissed if anyone walks down the street and then begs to get out to go bark at front door. Barking dont bother me, But does anyone think a doggie door is too much?

I want to add an outdoor spa to an existing pool, but the pool electrical only has 120V/20 Amp breakers. For the spa, I need 230V/30 or 50 Amp breakers added. Is this difficult/expensive to do? Do I need to rewire existing wiring? Do I need a dedicated circuit just for the spa, or can the existing wiring be upgraded so as to also be able to power the spa? Thanks in advance.

There is a leak under the bathroom sink, but I can't find where the water is coming from. It has soaked the carpet in front of the sink, and when I open the cabinet under the sink, I can see water dripping from floor of cabinet. I placed a small plastic trashcan under the pipe to catch drips, but the trashcan stayed dry after several hours. I can't figure out where the water is coming from. I plan to call a plumber tomorrow, but I'd welcome any help this evening, since the towels are still soaking up water. I just don't know what to do to stop the flow of water.

Regular lightbulbs don't work well during the daytime as there's a little bit of natural light coming in, so the effectiveness of a lightbulb is diluted in the daytime. Is there any kind of special light you can get so even when it's daytime the bulb/lighting is still bright enough to make an impact even with the natural light (currently the apt is very dark and even with the lightbulb on its not bright, only at night when theres no natural light is the lightbulb effective)

Thanks for the answers to my question: "engineered wood floors" or real wood..To provide more info..All over my contract, change order..it just says "Hardwood" I am limited about wood flooring. 1st time buildi experience in building a home. This home is in the $300,000 range..so not cheap. If it was layed correctly, and flaws not patched with putty and cover up pens..it probably wood look nice. However mind doesn't. I added an additional room to have "hardwood" on a change order. I paid $755.00 after a credit was given for the original ceramic tile that was in the home plans..The room is 12x14. Did I pay for "engineered wood" or hardwood" I have no idea. This floor is Mannington Heartland Oak, color is nutmeg, 3/8" ply glued tongue and groove. Prior to closing i had a flood damage..The builder pulled up a large area of my flooring and replace it..It looks terrible..They have since been out here 8x to attempt to repair/replace selective boards. Agreed to rep. Wood is now discontinued
