When my furnce is on it seems to make alot of noise, not unberrable but noise. It seems when it kicks on after a few moments when it is circulating it makes like a banging noise none of the pipes move or anything. It almost sounds like air pockets getting forced around. It had it's last service on November of last year and the blow off valve and expansion tank replaced and the furnace is only about 6 years old.... Any thoughts about this would be helpful before i have to have some one come back to look at it
Thanks alot, Tom

What do you do if there is a bathroom door that is locked, and no one can get in, and no one is in to unlock it? (beside calling a locksmith or something) how do you do that trick where you get a hair pin and stick it in the lock?

I have a prefab that is sitting on a slab. I am not the original owner of the house. When the cable was installed, they drilled holes in the corner of the floor and snaked up the cable. I was wondering if I could install the cable outlets that most houses come with, and if so, how do I go about it?

The flow is fine throughout the rest of the house. The drop in pressure occurs when hot, cold or a combination of the two exceeds about 1/3 max. When the threshold is exceeded, pressure drops to about 1/6th max. It seems obvious to me that the problem is inside the faucet, but is there something simple I should check or is it a straight-forward replacement issue?

If I hire a carpenter for a couple days and pay him $20 per hour, what is a ballpark figure to pour 700 sq. feet of concrete slab 3.5" thick for labor and material? I just want a real rough ball-park guess-timate. Assume I work as the the carpenter's helper.

Last night I found footprints going to and from my back door. It had just snowed and so the prints were fresh. My husband said I could use his gun but I don't want to have to resort to that. I'm thinking about renting Home Alone but I want to make this person wish they had never thought of bothering us. I need your help!!!

I've purchased a 2220 square foot house in Toronto, Canada and just got my first gas bill (covers heat and hot water gas) - The bill is for approx $250.00 per month, is this high, low or just right? I don't keep the house very hot and it's a brand new house. What do you pay for your house size?

I put water in the tub (it's a jet tub or whirlpool - I don't know the difference) and just to see what would happen I pushed the button to turn on the jets. Then I turned it off and everything was fine. Long after I finished my bath, while in the other room, I heard a loud sound, like a jet taking off, and ran into my bathroom where I found the jets had come back on. I hurriedly put water in the tub as I've been told it's bad to have the jets on without water being in the tub. I kept pushing the button but the jets wouldn't stop running. I looked under the tub for a shut off or on/off switch but couldn't find anything. Then all of the sudden, the jets went off again - again for no apparent reason. I had to leave for work but left the water in the tub, just in case the jets came on again. Has anyone had this happen to them? Any thoughts on what's going on and/or how to keep this from happening again? Should I call a plumber or electrician for repairs, if it keeps happening?
