I have a metal exterior door and the magnetic weather strip seams to be coming off on the lower end of the door. Can I replace this strip with a new one or is there some kind of better easier strip not magnetic that I can use?

I have a Citizen watch that is suppose to be water proof, but I had the chrystal replaced last year and apparently it wasn't sealed correctly. I went swimming over a week ago and ended up with water inside the watch which hasn't dried yet. I've tried leaving it under a lamp for a few hours and it didn't work. I don't have the receipt for the work that was done so I'm resorting to home remedies.

Any ideas?

Yesterday my air conditioning was running. I accidently ripped the electronic thermostat off the wall. When I tried to put it back on without turning off the electricity; it appeared to remain dead. I bought a new thermostat, but the unit still did not kick on. I have a dual unit upstairs and downstairs. downstairs is working fine. Furnace seems to be operating normal. Inspected the furnace, but didn't see anything wrong and the other unit is running fine off of it. The fuses outside the air cond. itself is working fine because i tried it in the unit that was working. I really don't know what else to do or try prior to having a tech come out. Would really appreciate any and all help possible. Thanks,Steve

I own a restaurant that's in a150 year old building & its hard to keep cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

(My landlord is an idiot and super-cheap so he's not a good reference for me financially or to answer any questions!)

1. How can I even find out if an attic fan exists? (there's an opening into the attic from the kitchen area where you can access the attic, but assuming I'm not going to crawl along the rafters but instead just stand on a ladder & look with a flashlight, where would the attic fan be if there IS one?
2. If there IS one, are they usually controlled by an accessible switch, or would it be turned on somewhere on the fan itself?
3. If there ISN'T one, is this something that I can buy and have a friend install, or is it more complicated than that?
4. If I need a professional, who does this kind of thing?a handyman? or HVAC pro?
5. What kind of price am i looking at for the fan itself? the installation (if needed)?

thanks SO MUCH for any advice!

I recently got a new air handler installed, but my outside compressor is still the same. I noticed that the AC has cut off a couple times before my set temperature was met. Although it turned off, when I came back home it was on again. This has happend a couple times. The thermastat was not replaced. Is there any reason the system would keep cutting off without reaching the temp?

The original problem was the air vents dripping from condensations.

A licensed AC man came, said my condenser freon were over charged so he discharged it and left. Since then AC wasn't blowing cold air.

I called him back, he checked again and said the level is perfect and not sure what could be the problem, so he put back 2lbs of freon and left. But still the air is no longer cold.

I open the blower unit and check the coils and noticed they are not very cold no where near 45 degree or so. I also check the attic for leaking duck system and was fine. I'm not confident about this AC man and called others, but earliest appointment is set for Wed.

Meanwhile, with AC running all day long, the temperature goes up instead going down. What could cause the coil not to reach near 45 degree when everything seem normal?

I made it a little while ago and the drawer wasn't made quite right. It's a small table and when I go to pull the drawer out it pulls the table too. If I hold onto the top of it and wiggle it up and down it pulls out eventually. I plan on giving it to my dad for father's day, given the fact that I can get it perfect by then...Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I live in Jacksonville FL, and my central air sucks. I have vaulted ceilings and have no clue why my living room is so hot. I recently bought a portable AC unit just for my living room because it can heat up in the room to 87 degrees sometimes. So I am just looking for some suggestions on how to keep the heat out and the coolness in. I have a ceiling fan, so any suggestions please I need some relief. Thanks all.....

I want to put the fence back in it's original spot, which is the property line. My neighbor thinks it needs to be over on my property more.There is a survey marker, and the fence is right on that marker. He is threatening to sue if I replace the fence in it's original spot. Where does a fence usually go, on the property line or inside my yard? If I put it inside the survey marker then I am giving up some of my property. HELP!!

I've built a large pond (some plants, snails) and there is a fine layer of dirt/sand in the bottom (i live in Florida and its mostly sand). Should I try and get this out? If so, how? or should i try and sweep it to one end and use it for plants? The sand is too fine for my filter. I see so many conflicting stories that i'm afraid of owning this watergarden now! is it really that hard?
