Maintenance & Repairs - April 2007

I have a large double glazed window unit in an upstairs room which has become badly misted up between the panes. This only happened in the last few weeks and it seemed to clear during the day. Now its there all the time. Is there a way that I can lcear it without replacing he whole window?

Does anyone know how I could get the 'fog' and 'water bubbles' out of the middle of a two-paned window?

I just want to make sure there won't be a problem when I replace the dishwasher sometime in the future. Would the 1/8th inch thickness of the tile be enough to make it difficult to remove the dishwasher when it needs replaced? I will have the expense of a plumber if the tile has to go under the dishwasher.

I'm putting in a double socket as a spur off the ring circuit, I have done this before but the real difficulty is chiseling out the wall to take it. Is there a handy tool for this?

Cheers.

For some reason I can never get the bromine levels to stay at the correct levels for very long. They are either too high or too low. If I wanted to use the hot tub while the levels are too high will it harm my skin??

I recently purchased a condo in Miami (Kendall, no where near the beach). When first looking at the apartment I asked about hurricane shutters and received strange looks from the owner, the real estate agent and the association representative. All told me that the association allowed them, but that I had no need for any since I had a balcony (12 ft long by 4 ft deep) and was on the second floor (building is four stories tall).
This doesn't make any sense to me. What do balconies and being on the second floor have to do with things hitting my sliding glass doors or windows? I thought the wind got worse the higher up you went.
Do I need hurricane shutters or not? If not, could you explain why?

Thanks!

The drain pipe has a corroded area and is leaking badly. I must replace it.

The pipe is iron. On one end it connects to iron, on the other end to plastic.The iron-to-iron end connection is also corroded.

How hard will this be to replace? I assume I need some sort of special fitting on each end of the replacement pipe to enable me to install it.

I thought that the water in the basement was coming from outside when it rained or the snow melted until today after my oldest son who is almost 6 went to the bathroom and I heard it raining in the basement. Than I went into the bathroom and there was water all over the place. I'm nervous about wether or not my floor may rot because I know it is expensive and this has happened before. Any suggestions? He's already not allowed to use toilet paper by himself I'm giving him only a certain amount everytime he goes!

I have two bathrooms, one has a GFI Outlet and the other does not. I need a GFI Outlet in the bathroom that currently does not have one. Is it as simple as switching the outlets or do I need to make sure there is something else related to the panel box? Thanks and of course, I will have a licensed electrician do any work.

My daughter has really heavy clay soil and would like to know the best solution to try and overcome it.She loves working in the garden and encourages her under 5 yr olds to plant seeds for the vegatable garden.Is there any easy way to make it more workable please? It does also tend to get water logged in the lawn area.Is the only solution to this to dig up and lay drainage pipes underneath, if so would it be expensive as she is on her own and has to be conscious of expenditure. Thanks for any helpful answers..

Yesterday afternoon I had a quick bath and everything was fine. About an hour an a half later, my partner went to have a bath but the hot water suddenly stopped working. It was coming out ice cold. The heating stopped aswell. We bled the radiators and everything. There's also a little nozzle underneath that you turn to the right to get the 'needle' back into the 'green area' when it's at the correct pressure. We've reset it and even popped down the basement to make sure we haven't tripped a switch or anything. Nothing's working. Any other ideas on how to get the heating and hot water back on? It says Alpha HE BC33 on the front if that's any help.

Thanks

I tried snaking out the toilet but it didn't help. So, I'm not sure if I need a new toilet or if it's the line. Even the plumber doesn't seem to know. Any ideas?

As soon as I walk in the house, it smells so rank that I want to cry. Even guests don't want to come in. Could it be the air conditioning? (central air - I live in AZ) The house doesn't stink in the winter. Or could it be the rust in the toilet tank? The whole house smells - I'm not sure how to describe it. Could it be mold? I don't have a lot of money so if anyone could give me their best guess so I only have to call one repair company instead of having to call several to come and check out the house. Thanks so much.
