We have some work that needs to be done before we sell our house. An electric company has given us a quote. Most other companies have quoted much higher. I'm afraid after the work is finished they will up the price.

Our current kitchen tile grout is coming out little by little (it wasn't sealed). It's down to about half thickness. Can I just prep it and add new grout or do I need to remove all the existing grout? And if I don't need to remov it, how should I prep it? Should it be a bit moist to adhere better to the new grout?

We have melting snow dripping into our attic from the vent fans. The water is starting to puddle around the electrical wiring and wood chip insulation. Should I be concerned that a fire may start or that mold can grow and spread if my landlord does nothing.

My sister just moved into a new house, and the door does not have a peephole. I feel that this is very unsafe for her and her children. There is no windows near the door to look out of either. I would like to install one for her but I do not know if you can install one into a metal door the same way you would a wooden door. If anyone has any advice for me I would greatly appriciate it.

This scratch was an accident and i need to find a way of minimising the damage, disguising it and stopping it from spreading when being sat on.
Many thanks!

Someone was telling me to use a red colored washer? Is there a difference besides the color difference? What brand is best to use? Where is the best place to buy them at?
