I bought the house a few weeks ago and I have a dehumidifier running, and I sprayed the mold with a bleach/water solution, are there any concerns I should have?

We're renting a house, moved here in Feb, used the heat till around April. Then switched to a/c when it started getting hot outside. Heat a/c worked fine all summer. Husband replaced the thermostat at the end of June because the arm/lever thingy you use to adjust the temperature was broken off before we moved in. So we've used the a/c all summer, no problems at all. Over the weekend it got cool, so I turned the heat on Saturday morning and after 2 hours of blowing cool air I realized the pilot light on the furnace needed to be lit. So when the handyman who has been painting the outside of the house for a couple of weeks came I asked him if he could light it. He said he'll call the landlord (his boss) to do it. It gets lit, heater works fine. Later yesterday afternoon it got hot outside so I turned on the a/c only to find that it blows warm/hot air, even all the way down to 45 degree. We've tried this 3 or 4 times since yest. afternoon and it still blows warm air. What is wrong?

I reported it to my apartment complex on Saturday. Today they replaced the air filter and they came to see about the mold. I watched them the whole time they were here and they used white spray paint to cover up the mold that was showing on the vents. I have never had this problem before so I knows nothing about this. But is that how they were to take care of it. Should I report them. What should I do now? I also just renewed my lease. So I am pissed off right now and worried because I also have a 2 year old who I believe has been getting sick from it.

I have this friend you has a house thats over a hundred years old. The land is great but the house doesn't look very good and not a lot of room. The funds are kind of low so there really isn't much he can afford. If you add on and rebuild the house do you think it would be cheaper than just building a brand new one? The basement isn't very good either so how would that work?

Many electronic descalers are available at many different prices. They are supposed to protect you central heating boilers etc from limescale. I live in a hard water area and I am considering buying one, but want to know if they actually do anything.

I can see light all the way around the door crack and winter is coming. I would like to have a carpenter put a door in, but wonder if the floor is so unlevel in this old 1904 house he could not get it in properly. I noticed a door with a huge window in the Menards flyer, and would like to have it put in the front of my house. Would it be hard to do? What do you know about this? I think maybe they would have to re frame the whole doorway. Should I buy the door 1st then hire it put in or wait until I see a carpenter? I know doors come pre framed, but what about that bottom part which looks metal, does that come with the door or is that something a carpenter adds?

When I cover up the light sensor there is power to the socket, but the bulb does not work (I even tried a new bulb. So what is going on, if their is some power, does is need more power, is their another componet like a ballast or transformer that may have failed. Would I be better off to just replace the whole fixture, and if so, with what would you recommend.

We have an industrial sprinkler system in our warehouse and would like to disable one of the sprinkler heads as we're putting in a stove right underneath it. Any ideas on how to disable this particular sprinkler or make it not receptive to the heat and smoke that will surely hit it coming from the stove?

I have the same brand garage door opener (Genie) as my neighbor, whose garage is adjacent to my own. Often, when I am driving up and I hit my button, it opens her garage door (and vice versa), posing a security risk and causing a big hassle in general, trying to get them to open and/or close as I need them to do. Does anyone know if getting a different brand of garage door opener would solve the problem? I have tried getting a new remote opener and reprogramming the one I already had and none of this has worked. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

I need to install a heavy spring - like a garage door spring, but smaller and shorter. It needs to be stretched about a half inch in the "disengaged" position. How do I stretch it that extra half inch to install it across to points.

It's been working fine now when I try to start it, it makes the buzzing noise as if the door isn't closed right or the lint trap is is backwards. But the door is closed and the trap is in right. Is there some kind of sensor that can be replaced or what else could this be? Thanks.
