I can barely lock it or unlock it.. I had to use both hands and force it to lock this morning. I'm afraid the key is going to break by using that kind of force. What can i do to loosen it up?

I have all of the faucets open. We have a heat lamp in our garage where the water pipes are located as well as our water softener. We left our cabinet doors open as instructed. Our pipes still froze. I have a small space heater that I am rotating around to each sink. We are expected to have below zero temperatures for the next four to five days. How can I thaw the pipes without getting under the double wide? Is this possible? I have also used a hair dryer but I have had no success in unthawing them.

A wk ago, I found mold on windows & the wall in my daughter's room. Since then, not only did we find that the humidifier was on 80%, but the fitting on was bad & had started a leak in the basement. We turned it off until we can get a new fitting on it & since then the leak has stopped.

We used bleach on windows & walls which removed the mold & returned them to white (no mold stains). Since then, no mold has returned. Last night we took 1 coat of Killz 2 & went 1/2 way up the wall w/ it (to cover the area where mold was found). We haven't noticed mold in the carpet pad, but there's several hard spots next to the wall so to play safe we're removing the carpet today & "mopping" the floor with bleach water. After painting her room, we'll put in new carpet.

Questions:
1. Is one coat of Killz 2 enough?
2. (Before we start painting) - is going 1/2 way up the wall ok?
3. Have we done everything to prevent the mold from returning?

All info is helpful. I want this fixed.

The tank appears to be leaking from the bottom, can't tell for sure. Any suggestions I can do will be helpful. can't afford a new one or the plumber.

I now have cold water coming from 2 of my faucets ( 1 upstairs and 1 downstairs ). I still don't have cold water coming to my downstairs kitchen ( the one that is working downstairs looks to be on the same line as my kitchen faucet ). Should I still worry about line freeze up or should I still give it time to unfreeze? Any help would be wonderful!

I have a wall mount Natural gas heater in one of our apartments we rent. We added electric heat to the apartments and are no longer using the gas heaters. I want to put it in my home as a source of back up heat. We dont have gas in our neighborhood so I would need to use propane and I am wondering If it can be converted to Propane. Thanks.

I need to cut lots of thin wall metal (usualy brass) tubing for applications in the lighting industry. I need nice clean perpendicular cuts and find a hand tubing cutter to be slow and "messy". However I would rather not have to use a huge 14" chop-saw due to space considerations. Can anyone recommend a power tool that will do the job without being way over powered - preferably bench mounted?

I own an ex council house in ablock of 4 flats, all the others are still council owned. My problem is this....... the sound proofing in these houses arent very great to put it lightly, and I was wondering that if I complained enough to the council due to hearing neighbours having sex and playing loud music, they would somehow sound proof the remaining houses which they still own? I have had to listen to thump thump music for thepast year and although the neighbour beside me stopped, the ones below have started.I knpw now that I should be keping a diary of these incidents ect adn keep in contact with the local police adn council, but i do feel that some of the proble, is poor built housing.Can anyopne shed some light on this?Thanks in advance

The water in my area is really hard and tastes disgusting. Can anyone recommend a way to soften it that doesn't cost the earth. I had one quote from a water softening company and it was well over 1000gbp. I can buy a lot of bottles of spring water for that. He was also going to have to do lots of drilling holes in my wall and putting new pipes all over the place.

I have a forced air heating and cooling unit on my home. When I turn the heat on and leave it for more than an hour or two it blows the fuse and the outside unit is completely frozen over. What would cause this? Is it something I can fix or do I need to call a repairman since it's a fairly new unit.
