Maintenance & Repairs - September 2006

is there an easier way than just hammering to break it up until we ache? By old school we mean the house was built in the 50's and there is some type of chicken wire material in it.

Out of the blue this woodpecker decided to peck on my wood sidings...forming a thumb size hole and a crack along the corner of the siding. Two questions:

1) What's the best way to fix the holes?

2) How to make sure my house is not attractive to woodpeckers???

Does anyone hawve any ideas of products used before which really eliminate ants permanently? Don't want to try a product for the ants to move away temporarily - am after a solution which can permanently eradicate the ants in our house. Many thanks for all your help.

I've placed 2 big bottles of Drano Max gel in the sink and it has NOT even budged! Any ideas on what I can do - other than calling a plumber! - to get this unclogged. I am not sure what kind of clog that it might be. Since it's a sink, it could be grease.... I don't remember putting grease down the sink though - maybe it's run-off grease.... PLEASE HELP! I MISS MY SINK!

My roofer has given me the option to go with either GAF Timberline 30, Tamko Heritage or IKO Cambridge 30 AR shingles. He's pushing the IKO Cambridge 30 saying they are the thickest, but my skepticism makes me think maybe they are just the cheapest.

Any sugeestions?

Well we moved because the landlord was using our electric.
we had a huge farm house and a barn next door in our yard, the landlord said we didnt have access to the barn it was his.
well we had electric lines running from our house to his barn, and we had a meter on his house and I walked all around his barn and couldnt find a meter.

well i get my bill for that 1 month and it was 194.00 !!!! I called him and he said "well I only use the light in the barn every once in a while" OMG i was mad so we moved.

Now I want some money back on the bill and I want him to have to warn the next renters because that is just mean.

the electric company wont do anything they said ther eis nothing they can do

what do i do?

I recently moved into an older condo (1974), and i didn't know the whole property has plumbing issues. I want to petition the board to re-plumb the whole property but would like to know something about the cost before I start something that I would regret later (enormous special assessments)
