Noise within the walls that sound like the springs inside of a couch when you sit on a couch? It only happens when the the wind blows, so it must be moving something. If so, has anyone had this noise investigated to see what it is? I'm trying to get rid of the noise, but the propery manager can't seem to locate what the noise is.

I'm looking for a Molybdenum Disulfide Dry Lubricant. All the ones I see at my hardware store just say that they include Molybdenum, but do not mention Molybdenum Disulfide on the product label or the MSD (Material saftey data sheet). Where can I find this? Specific product names / brands would be appreciated.

I was going to plug an extension cord into my outside outlet but it was filled with ants. I sprayed around the outlet, and the ants are gone now, but is it safe to plug anything into now?

I know if you get it wet it can rust after awhile, but if you keep it dry can it rust also?

Some fingernail polish was spilt which caused the finish to mess up in about a 12 inch circle on the corner. Do I have to redo the whole table top?

Regular electronic stovetop, i have foil underneath to catch any food to make it easy to clean up, but I don't know if the foil has anything to do with it. I thought it was the foil at first, and now, im scared to put the burner back in the stove. and yes I was dumb enough to go and take it out with my bare hands, but only because i thought i was going to take out the odd crackling foil and when I noticed the burner was cracklin in my hand i wigged out, set it down and left the kitchen... any idea what it is? Oh and this is after I cooked something for about 30 minutes on the burner.

I just put down dupont liminate. I noticed a bouncy spot and tried to level it with a level compund. I thought I did a good job and put the floor down. I can still feel it move it that spot. Should I be worried? It would be very difficult to pull it all back up again. They also say not to unsnap the planks more then 3 times and I already did that in some spots.

I used fast plug hydraulic cement to seal cracks along where the floor and wall meet, in my basement . When it dried, I tried covering it with drylok masonry waterproofing paint. Will the paint be effective over cement ? It has been two days and the paint does not appear to be drying ... is drylok only for concrete applications and NOT cement ?

On the end of the kitchen faucet, there is a rounded screw attachment with a filter that the tap water runs through. I am having great difficulty & frustration getting that attachment off because using a wrench or pliers won't grip onto it so that it will unscrew right off. I've heard suggestions of using a wet face towel to using a bit of rubber glove latex material to furnish the added grip to get the sucker off. The attachment must be screwed on extremely tight! But whatever I've tried, to no avail. Can someone make a suggestion? Is there possibly a "specific" tool that I could find at my local Home Depot to get the blasted thing off? If one exists, can you let me know the name of the tool I should be looking for? Please help. Thanks in advance to all!

My walls are cracking - not everywhere, but I am refurbishing the house and it's a real shame when you fill in all the cracks, prime the wall with several coats, paint it all nicely - and there you go - a hairline crack appears in a couple of weeks and ruins all the paintwork! I bought a joint tape for plaserboards, and was wondering if I can use it on some wall cracks - will it prevent them from re-appearing? Any other advise would be much appreciated!

Last week we had a tremendous storm in the Northeast and my finished basement took in some water. I'm not too concerned since this was the most rain we've had in 15 years. The carpets are still a little damp and I have some mold forming on the drywall near the baseboards. This is the first time this has happened.

I put a dehumidifier down there and the room is drying up. How should I go about cleaning the mold? Aside from cleaning off the mold, what else should I be doing?

My next door neighbor has had a trash can sitting directly under one of his rain gutters as long as I can remember. I always thought it was to help control the flow of the water from his foundation. Then the other day he was out washing his car. I noticed that he would rinse the car off with the water from the trash can. When I asked him about it he said the water in the trash can did not have all the hard water compounds in it and he would always have a spot free rinse on his car when he rinsed it off with the rain water. At the time it made since but the more I started thinking about it I started to question if this was a true practice. Has anyone else, or does anyone else, do the same thing and have the same finding?

explanatory, but honestly, what does the "self" cleaning one do that the manual cleaning one doesn't??

right now we have a gas stove.. would it be worth it to run a new 220v plug and convert to an electric stove??

Getting nowhere fast here. I have a GE fridge (not new but looks pretty new). When I open the fridge door (fridge is running) I hear a loud gurling noise in the back. This happens everytime I open the door for a little bit and the fridge is running.
