I have had this pipe (2 3/8 inch steel pipe)
sticking out of the ground ever since I can remember- (I just cannot remember what it was for)!
I finally got tired of mowing around it last week and cut it off...
Now I have no water pressure in my well... since the well and pump are inside my house I never made the connection that this pipe was actually, probably the well itself, or something very important to do with it???

I already realized that I am an idiot, (So please, there is no need to mention this in your response)- but could someone PLEASE tell me how to fix it now?

My house is on a lake in NE wisconsin...

HELP!!!

Already tried: Pany hose, a broom, and a swiffer.

I have that acoustic stuff on the ceiling which causes the real problem. Like, when you try to brush it off, you get an eye full of those little stalactites.

Need some advice. Looking to heat an upstairs that's about..maybe 800-900 square feet. I live in the south, so winters aren't extremely harsh as they would be elsewhere. I figure maybe a natural gas wall heater might be sufficient to heat the upstairs, if put in a central location (hallway). I guess this would be an unvented model of some sort. Does anyone know a really good brand and/or model to go with. One that circulates the air well maybe?

I am hiring a painter with a crew to paint most of my house interior. The bedrooms are vaulted and they will be painting everything from the trim to the doors to the closets and ceilings. The square foot of flooring is about 1300 sq. ft.

I have quotes all over the place, the lowest is $800 and the highest is $3600. I am thinking about the guy who wants $1100 because he is the one who has been the most informative and has answered all my questions in great detail. He seems to know what he is doing unlike the ones that cost more.

He wants $1100 and I need to supply the paint and primer. He will supply everything else and move my furniture. He will prime everything and apply two coats to my walls and ceiling and finish in two days with his crew. The walls will be cream and the trimming, doors and ceiling are white and he isn't charging me more because everything is not one color.

Is this a good deal and any advice on what to ask or do in regards to the painting?

I'm asking this question again due to low response. Please have some direct experience in refrigeration by employement or do-it-yourself.

It sounds like the fan is hitting the sides of it's encasement; gets very loud. It has also been known to "freeze up" and the fan doesn't move and temperature stopped being cool. My only rememedy is to turn it off for a few hours-unplug it. Then I put it back on and it's fine for a month or so. Brand Avanti, about 1+ cubic foot, no freezer compartment. I don't believe that freon is an issue with this small electric, recently purchased appliance.

I do appreciate the earlier responses, but just not "hitting the nail on the head", so to speak.

So what's better - inline duct fans or the kind that sit on top of the register? The ducts for my mstr. bdrm. run though the crawl space, up the garage wall, across the garage ceiling and into my room. The garage is drywalled and insulated but by the time the air gets there it's cooled down some. I need something to force the air up there quicker, but will the fans throw the circulation off for the rest of the house?

We have an natural oak table. When we bought this table a year ago it had a lovely sheen on it which has since come off due to being wiped daily. What should we put on it to restore that sheen - would it be a wax or an oil and how do you apply it and how often.

What precautions should I take working with molten lead? I've read alot about the dangers of lead and how melting lead creates lead fumes that can leave lead residue. I am interested in hearing how people who actually pour lead deal with the danger of lead poisoning. I am particularly interested in your views if you have poured lead as a plumber in an indoor setting.

I have a black & decker and a skill. Both 9.6v. The batteries look identical except for the name of course. Is it safe to use a charger from one or the other instead of 2 differant chargers? Will it be safe to use the batteries in the opposite drill?
