My new dryer had to be side-vented because of its size. Now there is a hole in the wall from the original rear venting. How do I repair this hole? It's getting colder. I do no want litter critters finding a home in my home. I am very inexperienced at this so I need to know exactly what to buy and how to fix it. I know this is asking a lot but I will appreciate any help I can get. Thank you.

I work for a living but I earn 17,000 a year. I noticed that the boiler and radiators require replaceing and was advised that the cavity wall and roof need insurlating. I was also advised that my windows are rotten and need replacing. I cannot afford to do all this on my budget. Are there any grants in the UK that would help me saving the environment and cost. Thanks

I had a new washing machine installed and unstallers told me I had to disconnect the hot and cold hoses from the pipes as they were not allowed to, so I did this and turned the valves off. They installed the machine and it was ok until I seen steam coming out from the back of it. When I pulled out the washing machine I noticed it used the cold fill pipe only and the stop valve that was on the hot fill had been knocked out of place presumably when the machine had been put back by the installers. This had been causing the leak, which I mopped up. I assumed this was it until my downstairs neighbour came up to tell me there was water running down his wall and through his light fitting in his kitchen.
He asked me to write a letter to the company, claiming it was their fault this happened and that they should have capped the hot valve. They have written back claiming I should have capped the hot valve and they are not liable. Now my neighbour is wanting money from me. Whats my position?

I ran out of oil last night. The burner was turned on for a couple of hours before I realised there was no oil. I tried pushing the reset button on the burner but after about 10 secs it cuts out. How do I get the heating system back up and running again? It is a Worchester Bosch burner.

I have recently switched to chlorine tablets in the skimmer box (I was previously using granular chlorine in the skimmer box) and have noticed a rather large straight chlorine stain developing from one the INLETS of the pools. It comes from the inlet, down the side of the pool and the across the floor. Has anyone had the same thing? How can it be avoided? And can I do anything about it?

My friends heating system (combi boiler fired in a newly built house) is playing some crazy games.

When he turns on the hot water only, the rads fill as well. WHAT THE HELL!!!!

He's had a plumber and a heating engineer to look at it and they've both been stumped so it's nothing obvious.

Ten points for whoever solves this mystery!

Here's the problem - you have to pump the handle to flush the toilet. The cistern's filling - in fact we part fixed the problem by adjusting the ball **** so it over fills... This is obviously a bit crap as it's constantly overflowing into the pan.

The o-ring/seal on the joint where the mains pressure water enters the system is leaking very slightly but apart from that there is no visual damage.

Please help as it's driving me crazy!

I just bought my 2nd air bed. The first one, I messed up too badly in "creative" patching to really sit down and try to fix it.
The new one should be here in a few days and I've just spent the past two hours looking for flocked-fabric or velour patches for air beds. The UK, AUS, NZ all sell them. But the USA? Doesn't seem to be happening.
Does anyone know of a place I can go or order in the Americas for a repair kit of this kind???? Or if not, I was wondering if perhaps someone might know if the Coleman Seam Sealer & Outdoor Kit would work on the fabric as well as it does platics and such.

I am concerned about the cost because there are three layers of shingles on there. Will that end up costing me more? My house is 2200 sq ft.

I live in a flat and have a 'fully pumped' gas central heating system. attached is a timer which allows the hot water and heating to be set independently. Each of them has it's own 'advance, one hour and timed' facility but the heating wont come on without the hot water - this is a recent thing. A plumber has replaced the pump and it has recently been checked yet no one can offer an explanation. Does it have something to do with the way i have set the timers?

My husband (an electrician) fixed it. Two days later we found water all around and under our refridgerator, the little beast chewed through the hose and water leaked out all over the place. Now something smells like garbage, it is disgusting. It's coming from the back/insides of the refridgerator. Could have something leaked inside from the freezer when everything thawed out? Please help!
