I am starting my own little home and small business cleaning service to make extra cash while in school. I'm not sure how to price. Does anyone have any insight? Also should I supply all cleaning supplies or does the customer or is it depending upon the job? Any help to get me on my way is appreciated.

I recently ordered a tankless hot water heater (Rennai R35i PLUS). When I picked it up I was informed that I also needed an installation kit that cost half as much as the unit. In my opinion, any required accessory that costs more than 10 percent of any original item should come with the original item and the cost adjusted accordingly. This is a almost a "bait and switch". I might have decided on a different manufacturer if I had known I was going to get hit with a 50% price increase. What does this kit actually do?

So i went over a tree stump, i know you aren't supposed to, don't tell me, but it was really short, like less than an inch and it was the first time i had the wheels lower to the ground. Anyway, i hit it and the thing shut off, the cord won't pull out, well, it does a little bit and its hard to pull, doesn't come all the way out, i tipped it over and the blade is real hard to turn, nothing is stuck in the bottom. What is wrong with it and how can i fix it? i don't wanna have to buy a new one, it is possible to fix it at home so i won't have to take it somewhere? what parts am i gonna need?

we had a problem with algae in our pool when we opened it this year, which led to a cloudy pool when we cleared it up. I was told to put something in it that drops all the particles to the bottom so you can vacuum them, but everytime I try and vacuum it just stirs everything up! Our pool has not gotten any cleaner and the vacuuming just doesn't seem to help. any tips or ideas?

I just replaced my Tecumseh starter on my 1993 Craftsman lawnmower. 12hp. The starter spins when I hook a jumper pack to it but not through the battery. I assume the battery is dead. However shouldn't I be able to start the mower by jumping the starter? When I jump it the starter doesn't hit the fly wheel. Why? What can I do to fix it? Could it be my jumper pack is just not strong enough? Its 12v 6amp. Please tell me this is a simple inexpensive fix. thanks

We bought our house two and a half years ago. They had checked and emptied it before we moved in. I have heard anywhere from every 2 years to 5 years. Does it matter how many people live in a house and use the fixtures on how long till it needs to be checked?

If you put a sewer camera into a pipe on your property which comes from uphill, can you find out that way who is connected to it, even if you have no access to an inlet from their property and no cooperation from them in a dye test, because they want to deny they are connected there? Are sewer camera companies willing to go to court to testify if that is needed to stop a problem?

I have a kwikset locking door knob that appears to have been compromised. It now cannot be unlocked and/or the cylinder cannot be retracted. I took the knob apart but the exterior portion of the knob cannot be extracted due to the cylinder being jammed (the interior side of the bolt is raised (bigger) making it near impossible to remove from assymbly without breaking). Any ideas on how to remove this knob?

Ok I'm putting in some new sinks and faucets. I have copper water lines in my house, but I guess right there at the wall leading to the sink is galvanized. They seem to be pretty corroded. Last week I shut off the water at the meter to replace some shut off valves. I come back in the house and turn on a sink (one that I was not working on) to make sure the water was back on. It was fine. Pressure was good out of that faucet for 10 seconds, then..bam, it was reduced to a trickle and still is. Then last night I finally hooked up the faucets, etc to the new shut offs. Got it all hooked up, turned it all on (of course the water was all greenish brown for a second), decent water pressure then...bam, nothing. I mean it just drips coming out of there. What's up with this? did some of that corroded junk come free and get lodged somewhere? I geuss these just need replaced. Are they usually threaded onto the copper or what?

It's disgusting, this house was vacant for a while (it's a very nice house) and when we moved in and started using the water, this smell came up. It is millions of tiny leach-like creatures. What is going on here?

My old dishwasher left food on plates, put film on dishes, esp. glass, did not clean silverware. So I finally purchased a new one, but it does the same. Repairman said he could find nothing wrong with it. I have tried different dishwasher soaps, I have put that stuff in that is supposed to abolish spotting, the water is hot enough, and I have tried using less soap then more soap. We have hard water here, it is a small town. We have a water softener and a filter on the water supply line. Could the softener not be working correctly? What could possibly cause this. I really like having a dishwasher, probably my favorite appliance. But I sometimes put the dishes through 2 or 3 times and they still come out with bits of food clinging to the dishes and a film on glasses and silverware. I do not understand what could cause this, and neither did the repairmen. There has got to be a reason, surely someone must have the answer.

Is this just a gimmick to win business or do most building codes actually require its installation? Everything I find online talks how quickly it degrades and recommends other materials. Is this just a gimmick, or did my first roofer omit the quote?

I'm new to swamp coolers, but I reeaaaally love mine, so I'm a bit concerned that yesterday, my low/high switch started operating the fan at the same (low) speed. It does this for both the "cool" and "vent" settings. It's a GE Lead-R-Line model. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
