ok so me and a friend were laying flooring in the attic and we didnt hit any wires that I know of but now the aircondition only blows hot air.

The only thing that we touched as of the air was picking up one of those silver round vent things, that route the air around the house, so we could slide the wood past it.

When we came down during the day we smelled a burning smell as if we had turned the heater on for the first time and since we just moved in it would smell like that if we turned on the heater.

But so we had it set at 65 on cool and only warm air is being blowed. I went up there and the system is cold and the outside unit is spinning like crazy.

So what the hell is the problem...please someone help with this...not having an aircondition in South Louisiana sucks big time.

so thats basically all I can think of...does anyone have any idea what to do??

3 air vents in a certain region of my house emit a terrible (musty, moldy) odor every time my AC kicks on. I've looked in my attic to inspect the air handler and duct work. Everything appears fine as far as I can tell (no obvious mold or mildew, no holes with a dead mouse in it, no intake problem, new filter, etc.), and I don't want to rip out all my air ducts without having some kind of idea as to what might be causing it. Any thoughts?

There are lots of holes in people's walls, few due to accidents, and most due to teenager's fists/feet. Isn't there something better out there that can be painted just like drywall, but not break when the teens decide to express their rage? Why are we still using this weak drywall stuff anyway?

Fixture has light sensor on it, so it goes on when it gets dark and goes off in morning light, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. It is 13 watt but suppose throw equiv. of 100 incandesent light bulb (amout of light it throws off is incredible in my opinion). I used this to replace a 70 Watt HP Sodium light. I hope it was a good idea, as I said I am very happy with the amount of light.

I am not sure if I have described the problem properly. When you look at the ceiling, it just looks wavy, it goes up and down.

I live in an apartment that appears to have been made from a converted house. There is a separate electric radiator for each room, and therefore a separate thermostat for each. There are two thermostats now that I have caught making a buzzing noise... one in the bathroom and one in the bedroom. It isn't an electrical-short, spark kind of noise... it's almost like the buzz of the dryer when it finishes, only a very quiet version of the noise. And it doesn't do it in a predictable pattern, it's pretty sporadic, and usually does a few short buzzes in a row and then stops.

Ideas?

My dad told me I have a huge sess pool under the driveway which will cave in if a heavy tractor or concrete truck rolls over it, so I need to have it dug up first and filled in with whatever they fill it in with. What to do first? Who do I call, and how do they find that sess pool? Dad died in January.

15 Amp 250 Volt fuse in a 13 Amp, 120 volt system. Onle one end of the fuse was heating up, and the plastic part of the holder melted. The fuse blew. I thought maybe the fuse blew because it was old, and that melted the holder. But after cleaning up the clips, I put a new fuse in and the one end of the fuse started heating up and sparking again. I flipped the fuse around, and the other end of the fuse started heating up on the same end of the holder. So I flipped the holder around. Still the same end of the holder. I tested for shorts, but there were none. It was still pulling 13 amps, as expected. I installed a new fuse holder, which is NOT heating up. It's working fine with the new fuse holder.

So what would cause that to happen? Does plastic get old and become conductive? I know there's no metal in the fuse holder.

We have a concrete driveway. Our car is OK, but other people who visited us, left oil spots. What is the best way to remove oil? Is it possible to remove the spots completely? If not, can I paint the area with paint or concrete? Can scrapes and gouges be completely repaired, or will I still see them after repairing?
