Your garden variety garage door opener has two incandescent bulbs in it. Normally I would not give substituting an incandescent bulb with a CF a second thought. However, to signal a problem such as an obstruction in the path of the door, it will cause the lights to flash several times, which I'm concerned may damage the bulb or the garage door opener.

We have a townhouse, (2 floors of living space and a basement) in NYC and use only window a/c. Would a dehumidifier help? I know that reducing the humidity will help the air feel cooler, but will the cost of running the unit outweigh the benefits?

We live in a suburb of a major city. We need some work done on our roof. We've called half-a-dozen contractors recommended by friends and colleagues. Either they don't return our calls or they make appointments and never show up. We keep hearing "next week...next week..." and then nothing ever happens. We're not looking to "cheap it out." We'll pay the going rate--we just need someone to come. These companies take big expensive ads in the Yellow Pages saying they handle jobs just like ours--so why aren't they interested? Is there some special "code" or "language" you use with contractors to get them to show up?

I think I need to replace a ballast and wanted to check it out last night. But my wife and mother-in-law were in the kitchen so I kinda rushed things. I turned the light on (the lights don't come on but the fixture hums) thinking when I cut the right circuit the noise would stop. It never did. Is it more likely I missed the circuit, or could the humming have continued in spite of the fact I cut power to it?

We have a new house, still under warranty, and the builder is stating that the bubbles in the bathroom paint are not his responsibility to fix. Is he right?

Is there a kit to repair this? I think I'll have to replace the pump seals to keep the oil in. Called Sears. They said to bring it to repair shop. I'd like to do it myself. Anyone have this problem?

This is a recurring debate in our office. I say keeping the thermostat on a steady temp. is more efficient. Others think that by making sure the heat or AC does not cut on over the weekends or at night is most efficient. For example, for AC, this would be changing the thermo. from 75 to 80 to save energy. Doesn't that mean that the units just have to work harder to get the temp. back to 75 when the employees come back to work?

We live in a Beth Johnson House but it's a private landlord who owns our house (it's confusing but bear with me..).
For the late eight months we have had a mouse infestation which we personally have spent hundreds of pounds trying to sort out, everything from getting professional pest control people in, getting the council to put poison down, getting electromagnetic units fitted etc.

The reason the mice are not leaving and are still getting in the house is because we have massive floorboard cracks and holes EVERYWHERE. We have filled them in best we can but the mice keep chewing through everything and the council have told us the floorboards need completely replacing to seal off all the nests and stop new mice getting in.

Now then, Beth Johnson have to ask our private landlord to foot the bill to do this and they're refusing. We can't personally speak to the landlord, Beth Johnson have to on our behalf.

How do I make the landlord sort this out? We're going crazy!

the kitchen fitters won`t certify it without. Are they just trying to blag an extra£450 to fit a new board? and why can`t they just fit an RCCB?

I know how a cooker works, and a kettle, and a heater.
But microwaves oooooooooo spooky.
Is this an alien technology that is perhaps doing us more harm than good?
