I sealed my driveway 4 days ago. There is an area in front of my garage, (in the shade) that won't dry. It's supposed to rain tonight and get much colder. Is there something to make it dry?

Trying to find an electrician in the Kitchener/Waterloo area in Ontario Canada. He is Greek Cypriot, first name Vassos, last name begins with a "P'. Trying to contact him regarding his brother --- they have different last names so I cannot use the surname I do have. Looking for an e-mail address, telephone number, employer.

I have already searched through the normal methods on line, but without any success.

Hoping the local Greek Cypriot community may be able to provide some information in locating him.

Is it possible for water entering into a house at a low than normal pressure to cause damage to a hot water heater?

I am aware that no water entering a hot water heater can damage but I am just wondering how much of an effect reduced water pressure would have on a hot water heater.

While showing my new landlord that his crummy little room wasn't big enough to swing a cat in I lost my grip on it.
Shall I get him a new one now or just let him take it out of the deposit?
Oh and who is responsible for the mark on the wall. It was his cat after all!

I've heard that armadillos are a protected species in Florida(at least here in Gainesville) and that its illegal to kill them, but, my websearches haven't turned up anything conclusive on said illegality. [Mainly trying to deal with the critters digging under a housing foundation] Does anyone know about the animals protected status? Thanks in advance.

I have tried various kinds of toilet cleaners, bleach, Soft Scrub with Bleach, Lime Away--but can't get rid of the ring in my toilet along the water line. The toilet is 9 years old and I have a water softner--if I try a pumice stone, will that hurt the toilet? Any other suggestions?

I have tried all of the major dealers, Google searches and I can't find anything about them anywhere. I just bought a house with them installed and they are already making me nervous. Good thing I work for a window manufacturer right :)

Thanks for your help!

My 2 car garage has one light fixture on the outside on one side. I bought an identical one to mount on the wall on the other side. It's wired with 12-2 3 strand and I bought some of it too. How do I connect the wiring to the new light fixture to the existing wiring. Connecting at the switch would be difficult because of an existing insulated wall. There is easy access to the wire where the current fixture is located. The light is just a 60 watt bulb.

I live in an apt. that has wall-to-wall carpet. Yesterday, the dishwasher flooded the kitchen and the carpet there got soaking wet. Today it smells. How do I get rid of the smell?

I was loading the clothes into the dryer and noticed a strong smell. I found a shirt that reeks of lighter fluid and yet it did not go into the wash smelling that way. I washed it a second time and the smell is just as bad as the first time. There is no evidence of a cigarette lighter or odd items in the wash tub. What's up? Is my washing machine leaking oil or something like that?

My house is 1700 square feet, 2 story and has vaulted ceilings on the second story.

I bought all the paint and supplies. I also plan to move all the furniture myself.

I need the interior painted except the cupboards, my master bedroom and all the bathroooms. (I am doing those my self).

So I need about 1300 square feet painted.

How much can I expect to pay a crew to come out to my house and paint it on a weekend?

I was thinking it would cost around $2000???

We heat/cool approximately 4500 square feet. We currently do not have a whole house humidifier and don't use room models either. We keep the house at 67-68 in the winter, but the house still feels cool. Is it because there is a lack of moisture? Also, dust seems to be a constant problem year round....we keep the filter clean.
