Our washing machine has started to smell of mould and our clothes smell milldewy. We've tried doing a hot wash with added white vinegar but it hasn't helped. We'd rather fix the machine than replace it as it still works.

I believe the home inspector made me sign a waiver to the effect that they are not responsible for anything after inspection day. The insurance agent (allstate, PA) said that since I've been in the house less than 60 days they would drop my insurance. I guess what I am asking is what's the best move to make, if any, in order to avoid out of pocket expenses?

I have an outdoor built-in barbecue in NJ (where the temp can be 0 deg. F). The countertop of the bbq has a natural granite countertop which is dark brown.

Now everyone I speak to recommends sealing it as they say the granite will stain.

Since I did not find any granite sealers for outdoor use, I used an outdoor stone tile sealer. Do I really need to bother with sealing?? Granite is a stone and they make statues and cemetery headstones of granite. I do cleanup immediately after I cook. I never put food directly on the stone... so only thing on it is plates/platters. There maybe some food and sauce drips, which is quickly wiped to maintain hygeine.

I can't find anyone with a similar barbecue setup to advise me!

What is your experience with granite outside as far as sealing is concerned. Any recommended brand of sealer? I saw something in Home Depot for $80!!! I paid $800 for the granite, including installation - there was no way I was paying $80 for a granite sealer!

Just got a used dryer with a 4 prong cord. The wall receptacle outlet receives 3 prongs only; is there a converter invented to plug inbetween both of them? Or do I have to replace the receptacle? Thanks.

i've lived in a nice apartment complex right on the bay for close to seven years now. in just one year the rent went up twice. the deck hasn't been fixed ever since hurricane wilma struck. when my AC broke, they took close to a month to replace it. i have neighbors who let their dogs loose in the hallways to do their business (and i have pets). i have no screens on my windows. i know the manager wants to help, but the property owner is the one who is financially responsible. by the way, the rent increase was to fix the deck. we've gone a year now and nothing has been done. help!!

The Igniting glow plug comes on,but then goes out after a few seconds. I put a meter to the sensor that sees the igniter.Acording to the book it apears to be good. It said it should have zero resistance,and it does.When the igniter goes out ,I can hear a click sound coming from the gas valve body. Does anyone know off hand what the problem might be? Is this a common problem with these dryers? I have seen this happen before.

I just bought my new home and was doing a craft project and discovered that my dishwasher is hooked up to cold water only. I was told that will ruin my heating element sooner.

I have found out that the water is black when we checked the water from the radiator. Is this a bad sign and requires the radiator to be replaced or is it because its not been serviced. I was thinking of replacing the boiler to a condensor one and remove the tanks to save space.

Is this going to cost me to have it fixed. The phone company has come twice now. I thought phone line were my problem in the house, but the company's problem from the house to the pole?
Anyone had this problem and who paid for repairs?

Hello all,

Ok, its the time of the year where washing is indoors. I rent a house and the moisture is making my duvet damp.

Originally I thought, ok, Ill buy a dehumidifier but a proper one cost about £100 my house is rented so its not like it a long term investment.

Is there a nifty trick I can utilise to remove the moisture from the air.

(I think a solution may be to contact the land lords but that aside what can you wonderful people suggest.)

thank you

matt

I would like to find a part for my table saw, serial number 94399, and model # 6201. Do you know where I may be able to find a website for a distributer in Canada.
Thanks a lot!
