For about a 3 months now, we keep getting these very small pieces of what i think is calcium deposits in our water. In our kitchen and bathroom, where the faucets have aerator filters, I have to clean the filters about once a week or it will severely restrict our water flow in these faucets. I think maybe its because our hot water heater is getting old. Could it be something more serious though???

We have a new ranch style home with a basement in the midwest. The north side of the house has two 2x3 window wells. There is adequate slope and guttering and also plastic window well covers. But when there is a heavy fast rain the window wells fill up with water. Most of the water appears to be running in from the sides. We then must bail the water to prevent flooding the basement.

What would be the best way to fix this problem?

We are soon to be doing an addition on our home, and figured it would be easier to replace the roof...

But if have done some research on trusses vs roof rafters, and I was curious if an actual contractor could shed some light on what is best.

I would like to use floor trusses, and go with rafters for two reasons. One being we could add upward easily with the floor already in place... And two being it would allow there to be more open space in the attic.

Anyways just wanted to get input on what would be best... Cost and structurely wise..

Do they leave the old lap siding on?
Do they put a layer of insulation in between the old siding and the new vinyl?
Do they charge a lot to remove the old siding and roof or is this usually part of the deal?
Can I tell them to tear the old roof off and start from scratch with the black paper?
I am 42 yr old white female and concerned about being ripped off, so bad I considered having a man do the negotiation so they did not know I was the owner of the house.
What can you tell me to help me out?

The bath is made of plastic (not steel) and the heat from the light must have melted it. Normally there is water in the tub which stops this happening but as I said it was left on accidently in an empty tub.

I have a commode in my house where the water fills in the tank after flushing, but continues to fill into the overflow tube causing the water to keep running. Any ideas on how I can fix this problem, or what component to check? Thanks for your time.

This alarm is hard-wired into the house. I removed the casing and I can't find where it would take a battery...just that it is hard-wired. It is beeping every minute. Does anyone know how I can get this to stop? I had a builder over today and he blew a breaker. Maybe that messed up the alarm? I can't sleep!!! Can anyone help me???

Our toilet has had a problem with backing up and we fixed that ourselves by buying a snake thing not sure if thats what they call it and have bought liquid plumping stuff that unclogs it. That worked except it dosnt want flush and takes forever to flush. Our landlord told us we are responsible the first year for $100 of any problems with the trailer we are renting. If I am not mistaken I thought as a landlord its a law that YOU are responsible for any repairs? Am I right or wrong?? He put this in the lease but I honestly think hes trying to pull A Fast one because I never heard such a thing..
