I've an open fire which hasn't been used in a few years, There a gas pipe that runs round the back of it - just questioning if I stoke up the open fire, what are the fire risks with the gas pipe - If I boxed it in with Some ceramic heat reflecting tiles would that help ?

Thanks

I have added a duct to a remote room which previously had no heating or cooling. It seems to have very low air flow.

we've bought a snake and it will not go down the bathtub drain because of the way the drain is configured. There is a bar blocking access of the snake. We also have water coming out of the showerhead whenever the faucet is turned on. In the other bathroom the drain in the sink is super slow.
Is it possible to fix all this ourselves or should we just call plumber?

I have a GE dryer model dvl223eaoww. I've checked the tensioner & it moves freely w/no noise. The same for the shaft on the motor. There are no rollers for the drum to turn on, just a couple plastic clips to keep it aligned. When I turn the drum manually, it squeaks at one point in the revolution and is okay until that spot comes around again.

The guy was supposed to come back the next day to sort some piping outside. He never and now the boiler has started to leak. He keeps promising he'll be out but does turn up or return my calls. He hasn't completed the log book for the boiler either. Obviously a cowboy.

The plaster has cracked over the drywall from the cracks underneath. The house foundations don't have any cracks in them, but something obviously shifted. For right now, I would just like to fix the cracks, and would like to know a good way to go about it. Last time, I got some plaster, and put it over the crack and then painted on that, but it has opened up again slightly, so I figure there must be some better way. Any suggestions?

There are places around my house that I'm repairing to stop squirrels from coming into the attic, but the little critters are in several places and I don't want to close them up inside the attic since they will die and cause a horrible odor or chew another hole somewhere and still keep their 'home' in my home. I thought about using some type of bait that causes them to seek water, which them kills them, but I don't want to get that drastic, if possible. Do things like Blood meal or Coyote smelling packs drive squirrels away, and if they do, will they leave a strong smell in the house that might drive us away too? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Please Help! Trying to remove screws from my top bunkbed to take it apart. One of the screws is so worn out and the electric screwdriver just tears away more little chunks of metal, making it worse. Other than sodering, is there a practical way to take the screwdrive out???

Kid spilled grape juice on the tile floor and now I have purple grout. Anyone know a way to take it out? Tried bleach pen with no results, along with oxyclean and a toothbrush.
Also, is there a way to seal the grout so I don't have to face this issue again?
