My garbage disposal is not working. It justs hums, even after checking the reset button. Any ideas on what the problem could be? What should I expect to pay a handyman for repair(s) of this nature?

If it is cold starts great and runs great, but if you stop and try to restart it, then you can not get it to start.

There wasn't enough oil in the mix of my blower. I got it all apart. I haven't had a 2 cycle engine apart in years. There is no reed valves. The piston looks burned and flaky on top. Do I need to replace the piston or just the ring? Anything else? Thanks for any help.

I'm looking to get a tubliner and tub walls installed. 1 contracter already wanted to know who else I've looked into. I found that suspicous. He's tried to offer me a deal of $3800 for a new tub and walls. I have limited $$$ and don't want to get swindled. Any advise from experience or knowledge is appreciated.

I have an old discusting bathtub with ugly blue tile surrounding it and a nasty sliding glass door that collects mold like no tomorrow. I'm limited with $$$ and was looking to line my bathtub and bathtub walls. Does anyone have any idea how much this might cost me. I have a few contracters coming out to give me quotes and I just want to make sure they don't take advantage of me.

I rent a room in a ladies home because that's all I can afford and she keeps it really unclean. In her kitchen there are literally about 50 gnats coming out of the garbage disposal. When she's gone I tried putting bleach, and all sorts of chemicals and nothing has worked. They just won't stop coming back. I don't know what to use to get them to completely go away.

Any advice on what to do? It'd be very appreciated!

I asked my roofer to provide proof of insurance. He says he can get it to me by monday but most likely the job will be done by then because he wants to start early on saturday morning (today). I'm concerned he won't have the permit either and want to protect myself what should I do?? I have serious time constraints for getting the job done.

Does the connection rod only go on one way? Some back ground I re-used my old piston and rings. The cyclinder appears to look very good there was some very minute scoring. Can anybody tell me why it would be so tight? It will only turn over if I use a wrench and turn it manually.

I have been told that my water pressure coming into my house registers at 100 and I need a pressure reducing valve to reduce this pressure. Is this the responsiblity of my city water company or do I have to pay to have this installed? Is this something I can do myself and how hard is it to do?

We are a family of five and bought a home we were told by the seller that it only needed "cosmetic" work. We had it inspected before we bought it but turns out the foundation is bad and the whole house is not shifting because of it. We can't afford loans and were wondering if there are grants or assistance services avaliable in Kentucky.

Mower (an old John Deere S82) intermittedly turns off and was difficult to start. After cleaning the filter and fuel lines, the mower does not start. The spark plug is new and the spark tests okay.

My toilet assembly is old and the water fills the tank but overflows into the overflow valve. I called a "licensed" plumber and their initial estimate was $172.60 replacing the entire internals of the tank.

Back in my primary residence, I had a handyman repair the same thing and he charged $35 plus the cost of the parts which was around $18. As far as I can tell, the toilet works fine after the repair by the handyman.

So... why is it the licensed plumber charges $172.60 whereas the handyman can do the work for $53?

Do plumbers belong to an union or am I just being ripoff?

it has gas, oil, and a brand new spark plug, it started running real crappy so i sprayed some throttle cleaner into it, added about 2 ounces of sea foam to the gas, and cleaned out the air fliter. then to top it off the pull rope broke on me so i fixed it and now it doesnt have tension on it after i try to start it.. i have to "reset" after every try. then it'll only run for about 3 secs.
