I would like the neighbor to remove since it's coming from her vine plant on other side of the fence. It's growing out of control and is climbing on my roof. I've been out of town for two months and just now found this surprise plant coming on my side... Is it her responsibility to remove from my property? If yes and she doesn't remove, can I bill her for having removed?

Most of the electric has been replaced, but I am putting in a ceiling fan (where the light was) in a room that still has the original cloth wires. Neither the rubber insulation nor the wires themselves seem brittle, but should I be worried? Should I replace them?

Right below the shut off it seems like there is a a plug threaded into the line. There's no way to attach my line to it and it's in there so tight I can barely move it, do I remove it?

I have been living in my apartment for just over a year, and in that time my screw-in towel rack has held up well. But just recently, as things do eventually do, it fell out and the screws left ugly, gaping holes in the wall. I should mention these were reinforced screws, since the walls are plaster. So naturally I repaired the holes and relocated the rack elsewhere in the room, with new screws of course. And in less then a month, it falls out again and leaving another set of holes in the wall. I can't have this disaster repeat itself again. Most racks are screw-in, which because of this mess I would prefer to avoid. And I don't have enough room for a free-standing one. Is there another means of going about this? What should I do?

I just moved into an older house. The caulk in the bathtub from the previous owner was falling apart. I took out the old caulk, but there is grout behind that. This is the area where the tile wall meets the tub, which I've heard should never be grouted. It should just have caulk. Do I need to remove all the grout before recaulking, or can I just recaulk over the old grout?

My furnace kicked on today for the first time this season. It worked at the end of last season, but now it is blowing only cold air. I replaced the thermostat (meant to do this anyway) and still no heat. I pulled the service panel off and the LED is blinking 3 times.

I have two other furnaces in my home and the other two are working fine. Do I have to make a service call or is there anything else I can do?
