We heat our home with a wood burning stove and in the winter we dumped our ashes in the kiddie pool full of water because we didn't want to dump them in the trash or on the grass. Now we are going to dump it in the yard but my mom said that ash and water are caustic and dangerous and that we need to find a safer solution. Would it be bad to just dump it all in the yard?

Or does the rain damage have to be from one particular storm?

We had a fire in our office most of the damage was smoke. However after the fire we have noticed our fluorescent light bulbs seem to be burning out quickly. These were not replaced by the cleaning crew. Is it safe to assume that the smoke damage is causing them go burn out quickly? Anyone have any links that justifies this thought?

Thanks

I recently built my house and my real estate agent said I wouldn't need to purchase a Sump Pump since I live on a hill and shouldn't get any flooding. Which is true, I have never had any problems with my basement flooding.

What bothers me is I now have neighbors on either side of me that built their houses and they are at the same elevation however they both have sump pumps that they say run quite often. My sump pit has no water in it, just a bunch of mud. My neighbor said this is not good, that there should always be some water showing that the drain tile is working. He believes that my drain tile is plugged and it is allowing water to leak next to the foundation.

Is my neighbor right? Does it sound like I have a drain tile problem? Should there always be water in my sump pit?

I have a water stain on a night stand in my bedroom from a humidifier. It is approx. 8 inches by 4 inches. It has left a white mark. Can I repair this myself or should I have a pro do it?

My computer keyboard is infested with these small red ants which eat off everything. These are after the rubber bushes under the keys. I have faced the problem in the past and after I opened up the keyboard, popped every other key off and manually got rid of the ants many times, they seemed to stop. Now that the problem has resurfaced, I need to know if I can do something to get rid of them for good, from my keyboard.

I want to get a new toilet and wondered if there was a standard distance from the wall for all toilets, or is the plumbing unique for each one. In other words can I take one out and put another in it's place without plumbing issues?
