The fish tank is about 10 or 20 gallons and I have a filter that is plenty big enough and holds two filter cartridges. I use the anti-cloudy drops and the anti algae drops but it always goes cloudy after a few days. Could it possibly be the fish food?

I am only going to replace a section of the clapboard around the main portion of the house, then reuse the good portion of that to repair the rest. I am going to repaint all so don't really need a cedar shingle. Would also prefer not individuals shingles but either a strip or panel

I have 2 labs and they've dug 2 escape holes under my chain link fence. Filling them in with dirt would be pointless as they'd just dig that out. Any suggestions on how I might permanently fill them would be greatly appreciated. Has to be fairly simple as I'm an old single broad...lol. Thank you!

There has been a water leak identified between our house and the water meter, most probably at the meter end. If the pipe needs to be replaced can I make a claim through the new buildings certificate? Our house is 8 years old, we have only been here for 4 of those, I do not have a copy of the certificate, how would I go about getting a copy? and who is responsible?

My old one was a Redring and it was never great. Can anyone recommend a good basic shower that keeps a constant temperature and good pressure. Dont know if this helps but I live in a bungalow and havent got a water pump. My neighbour just got a Mira Sport shower and is happy with it so I was thinking about getting one of them but wanted to wait to see if you had any other recommendations.

I always turned of my A/C when I went to work. A friend of mine says it costs you more when you turn it back on to recool the place. However, if i'm gone for 9 hours and turn it back on, it usually cools back up within 25 minute and that is from leaving it on the same temp. and not lowering it to cool faster.

I followed an advice i saw on yahoo answers that you must put an absorbent paper and iron on that for the wax to melt and be absorbed. While much of the wax has been absorbed, there is still an oily/greasy stain.Can it not be removed completely?

Well our dishwasher first broke we took it to a repairer and they fixed it saying it was the thermostat. But when we hooked it back up it still flooded. That was ages ago and I have been thinking about it and was wondering if it had anything to do with the drainage pipe, because I looked under the sink and the pipe coming from the dishwasher goes in the sinks pipes just before it gets to the S bend, any suggestions or answers will be greatly appreciated.

Could this be a simple matter of clogged pipe?

My family has lived in a rental for a year now and we've never needed to use the breaker box. But this morning the light bulb over the kitchen sink blew and caused all the power in the kitchen to go out. We've looked everywhere for the breaker box including the garage with no luck. I can't imagine a newer home being built without one but I'm totally out of ideas on places it might be.

it is stranded copperwire. the insulation jacket says that it can take 600v so I would assume that is a high quality wire. it is currently suppling power directly from my car battery to an ac-to-dc inverter. it spans about 10 feet, and it is a 350 watt inverter so it will be drawing about 30 amps at 12vdc. I currently have a 35 amp fuse built in with the wiring as well as a switch, the inverter has two 20 amp fuses built in. so I am wondering if I can simply add another fuse harness parralell to the current harness to meet the wires amperage limit. I am currious as to weather I can connect a bigger inverter such as 700 watts (about 60 amps) I imagine that that may be a bit much but it would be nice if you could tell me what AWG I would need

I bought an older home and beside the tub it is molding up through the carpet. It is usually kept dry and the flooring from the tub forward has all been replaced. So I am assuming it is coming from underneath the tub. What can I do of tearing up the tub is not a good option?
