There's a small hole in the lint screen on my clothes dryer. Can it be repaired? I have a screen repair kit for windows that has double sided tape, but with the heat from the dryer, I know this won't hold. Any solutions?

I need to get tape off my wall and people made the suggestion that I use vegetable oil to remove it. Now I have stains on my wall from the vegetable oil. I am also wanting to paint the wall but do not want it to soak through to the new paint.

Behind a 1,800 square foot house (3 bedroom) is a large propane gas tank which provides gas to heat the house's forced air gas furnace. How do I determine the level of gas that is in it, so I can tell how near it is to being empty ?

I want my heat to be at 65 or so when i get home from work. Is it better to keep it at 50 or 60 during the time I'm not home? I can't figure out if the energy burned keeping it at a higher "away" temp is more or less than that which will be burned getting the temp up to 65 from the lower "away" temp.

On our house extension which is our dining room we have recurring black mould appearing in the plaster and the emulsion painted wallpaper. There used to be a small patch in the top corner which seems to be getting worse and it now appears all the way down along the door frame. I had hoped that the installation of cavity wall insulation would have reduced possible condensation by keeping the inner wall warmer but it appears to have gotten worse. Any advice that will cure the problem will be appreciated.

My husband and I have an ongoing argument over our automatic garage door. I often open it about a foot to let air circulate in the garage - but don't open it all the way so as to keep out people that might want my junk. Anyway, he claims doing that will damage the system that automatically opens the door. I don't think it hurts it at all. Who's right?

When our Carrier gas furnace turns on it kicks the flames on for about 15 seconds or so before turning back off and repeating process 3 times. After failed 3rd try a blower and/or fan turns on for a couple of minutes before turning off. If I disconnect then reconnect the main power to furnace then the furnace will starting working properly for a couple of hours sometimes.

Things I've checked or have eleminated:
filter
thermostat
Gas valve turned on
ignitor (turns bright orange/white like normal)

Has anybody experienced this as well? Are there any other checks I can do before the repair guys? Thanks

I have 3 small children under 5yrs old. Open risers on stairs are a hazard. Short of finding another place, is there a way to fix or install risers without rebuilding the entire stair case? I would hate for my 1 yr old to slip thru the stairs and take a one story fall! Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreiciated in advance. TY!
