I live in an appartment complex and we have these neighbors that let their kids do whatever they want. Some of these kids dig thru the dumster and they play with all of the trash. This one kid found a feeding bag for someone with a feeding tube and was swinging it around. Then the same kid found a panel of glass and decided to put it up in our snow mound left from the snow plow. Then he decided to take a shovel and break it all up...so there is broken glass all over the yard. Also he has a pile of trash burried in the mound of snow. I called my land lady to let her know what has been going on..and she is doing nothing about it. I know it will never get cleaned up..and when spring comes, I will not want to let my daughter out of the house due to the broken glass. Should I call the cops now, or should I try to call the land lady again.

Sometimes it will come on and off just fine. Other times it quits and if we turn it off and then back on it will start again. What's up with that?

How can I tell that the contractor is giving me the correct amount of insulation and not ripping me off by putting less in.

I know about wet vs dry fiberglass but what other tips can you give me about this.

I have torn the carpet up and smell it a little bit in the pad but I also smell it in the wall. No signs of black mildew or mold, just smell. Our house was built 4 years ago. The smell is located in the corner of our bedroom which is the corner of our house.

I have two thin cracks between two pieces of drywall in my celing. The cracks are right in where the spackeling is applied. I have also noticed that over the years, the spackeling in my celing has "expanded" where you could notice where the peices of drywall were patched together.

I have a one story house with my attic directly above. What do you think the cause of this is?

Thanks for your input!

I've noticed a small amount of water does not drain from the shower after use, and I smelled an odor today. When I removed the iron cover to take a look, I pulled quite a bit of hair from the drain. I've only been here a few months, so I'm not sure if it's my hair, or from the previous tenants. I'm sure the odor is possibly due to some type of clog preventing the water from completely draining, and the stagnate water is now smelling? Also, the floor of the shower is never filled with water, so I'm sure the majority is draining ok. Thanks.

I just bought a frigdaire GLRT188WD, top mount fridge/freezer from Lowes about two weeks ago. one day last week I left the door open and all of the cold air leaked out, upon my return there was hot air coming out of the two fans that feed both compartments. I figured that it had over heated and shut it down for 24hrs.

now when I turn it back on both fans for the two compartments will come on but no cold air will come out. i also hear the compressor going on and off every couple of hours?

please help, I really love Ice!


thanks

Our water pipes are frozen solid and the only my dad knows of to fix it is by buying these really expensive things. Okay maybe not that expensive, but they're like $300-$400. My dad is waiting for his check to come, but until then, we have no water. Please help. I really need to take a shower. The check was supposed to come yesterday, too, but I guess our family is just unlucky. I would really appreciate any help at all. Thanks.
