The water is not pumping into the machine. The lights come on but nothing else happens. I've checked the filter but there is nothing in it. What else could be causing this problem? It's been working fine for days.

I moved into a flat yesterday that is in quite an old buidling and was surprised to find that when I ran the cold tap a strong sulphur smell was present. Is this normal or could there be a problem?

We are in the process of buying a victorian house and the survey has flagged up that urgent repair may be needed on the back bedroom roof. I just wondered if anyone could give me a rough idea of what this will cost to sort out as I have no idea at all and wanted to know what kind of amount we are talking of before I take it any further.

I want to replace the existing windows in my home with the energy saving windows that are always advertised. My question is: has anyone replaced theirs recently-if so, did you choose the double pane or the triple pane windows. The triple cost about $15,000 to replace the ones in the upstairs of my house, and the double might only be around $6,000. However, if the energy savings is vastly different, then it would be worthwhile to pay more for the better "quality." I am also thinking in terms of resale value-which would net more, the double, triple or does it matter? Thanks for your help!

Any tips for putting wheels on a kegerator? I have a pretty heavy fridge I am converting into a kegerator and I want to build some kind of base for wheels so that it can be moved easily. Any suggestions?

My husband and coworkers were wondering how a washer got its name, like a bolt and a washer, not a washing machine.

I was shown a model apartment several weeks ago. When I viewed the unit, the leasing agent stated that everything in the model was the same as what was in the unit I wanted (I couldn’t view the unit because it was still being cleaned). I signed the lease this past Sunday and noticed that the carpet was green! The carpet in the model was beige; however the carpet in the unit is this hideous green.

Seeing as I already singed the lease, what are my chances of getting the beige that is in the unit? The complex would literally have to recarpet 1300+ square feet in the unit I am renting.

Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

The slightest vibration near it causes the water to leak significantly out the corners, almost as if the water is missing the dehumidifier tank completely, and going out the sides. I tried cleaning the filter, thinking perhaps the lint on the filter was blocking the water from going where it needed to go. Does anybody know what's wrong with it? It's driving me mad. It defeats the purpose of having a dehumidifier if the dehumidifier is dumping much of the water on the floor. (It's an LG model. Those are the initials on it.)

I realize this isn't a lock at home but at work. We have a storage room broken into and we realized that there are some people that don't work for us anymore that still know the combination to the room and things have turned up missing (and yes, at least one was caught on camera). We have a lock on the door that looks like a Cypher Lock (sorry, I don't know exactly what type it is) - it's got 5 buttons in a row and a nob, nothing more. None of us know how to change the combination but it needs to be changed. Can anyone help me out here?

We recently moved into a new home. One of the attractions of the place was the great workshop. The problem is the electrical in the shop. The breaker for one half of the shop keeps tripping, even if there's no appliances plugged in. I've tried replacing the breaker, but the same thing happens: the breaker trips as soon as it's reset.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have a three-way light (low, med, high). The high and low levels have stopped working, and I have tried replacing the bulb with two different new bulbs, so that isn't the problem. The medium level works, and that provides enough light for my needs. I'm wondering if it is safe to use, though?

I just bought a wood table that came with a glass top to protect the wood, along with the little plastic discs that space between the wood and the glass -- presumably to keep the glass off the wood.

What is the right way to space them? More importantly, how do I keep them in place when I am putting the glass on top (man oh man is it ever heavy)?

Any tips or suggestions are welcomed. Thanks for your help.

Is it ok to buy a house with a sump pump???? Will this devalue the home if it runs every day?

House was built in 52 and has rock chip stucco (about 1"). The stucco has pulled away from the wall about 1 1/2" (6 ft high along a 20 ft span). There is a slight crack (almost hair line) running horizonally along it.
The surface doesnt budge if you heave against it, It seems sound. I wonder what (other than caulk or cement "fix") I could seal the crack to prevent water from getting in behind. Its too cold to paint right now. This spring I want to adhere the stucco back on to wall. I thought I would be able to make relief cuts vertically down the siding and screw it back down onto the wall. I then could caulk all the cracks, seams and then paint it???? Would this work???? Removal and replacement is out of the question!
