Maintenance & Repairs - October 2007

its a lift master garage opener. Just wondering if we got a new remote and program it, would he still be able to open it later on if he had intentions to steel stuff?
or would it change the code of the opener?
thank you.

After finding a sewage leak under my home, I crawled into it and fixed it. The plumber wanted nearly 200 dollars to do it. My girlfreind thinks im gross now. I showered until there was no hot water left and used a whole bottle of anti bacterial soap.
What would you have done?

I pulled it out about 1/2 way and then it gets stuck. I think one of the legs is stuck on the linoleum, but my husband thinks that the dishwasher is connected to something in the back that is too short to pull it out. PLUS, now that we have started jiggling and tugging at it .. it started leaking from a copper tube that is underneath the dishwasher. I can feel it when I reach around and under the dishwasher. HELP!!!!!

There are so many gutter protections on the market today which is the best to keep leaves and debris out of the gutters? I live in the northeast so winters we get a lot of snow and freezing temperatures I don't want anything that causes icicles.

Is it possible and how much will I save per unit of heat? I used to live in the county and had a propane tank. It seems the Natural Gas providers are too expensive is it worth it to change to propane?

If it can filter more things, all the better. But at least those two.

Not too expensive either.

The garage door is attached to the ceiling at two points on either side by the track. On the left side it was bolted into the sheet rock- no stud! So obviously one of the screw broke and the whole left track slanted, or pivoted, further to the left (the left track is crooked)- with only 1 screw holding it on.

Because the track on the left is slanting left, it's causing the whole thing to be slanted. On the right track- the top wheel has come off the track, and when the left track moved it caused the bottom of the right track to push outward to the right bending the track. So now at the left side it hits the ground, but on the right there is about a foot of space open!

Have put in a new upper bolt to straighten out track... Can not seem to get wheel back on.... tried straightening out bent rail... door closes most of the way, but the biggest problem is making the door straight again! help? what should I do in what order?

A while ago when I forgot my keys I tried breaking into my house and messed up the metal stripping on the door frame. Ever since then the locks haven't worked properly- you can't unlock the doorknob lock.

I'm trying to get the door off so I can replace the doorknob. I've already removed the pins and the crusty paint, but we can't get it open. It isn't a deadbolt that's locked so I don't see why it should be so difficult, but it won't budge.

Any suggestions for getting my door off?

I can't afford to get a professional.

I am noticing dark specs on my vinyl siding. There are very many small specs(circular) close together. They are dark in color but very light in pigment if that make since. You can't see them unless you get close to the siding. I pulled some of the siding back and there is nothing on the interior. It is all on the exterior. I have been looking online for pictures of mold but everthing I see online is very dark comparted to what I see on mine. It looked like it was just dirty to start with but now I can tell it is not just dirt. Does this look like mold? or something else?

I know it sounds silly. But my landlord dropped off a can of stain w/water guard. Well I didn't read the can properly...After letting it dry over 24 hrs it was still "tacky". It comes off to the touch. After reading the can more thoroughly it says "not to be used on decks or wood lawn furniture" well TOO LATE. It does not say what to do if you do so...
Anybody have this happen to them? If so how did you remedy it while still saving the existing wood? I need to remove as much as I can. I don’t know if I want to strip it, I hear bleach can destroy wood. I am scared of mixing another chemical with it and causing a bad reaction and I don’t want to but a clear coat of water sealant on it yet because I am afraid this oil based evil product will keep it from curing correctly. Please spare me the “you should have read the can” I did not take note to the fine print…I made a mistake, and now I am trying to fix it. Anything would be appreciated! Thanks everyone

I tried 3 different new shower heads made by Moen and 1 by Delta (which was taken down from one of the upper level showers to test). None better than other interms of water pressure. This shower is in lower level, about 15 ft from the water heater. Upper level shower heads gives ample pressure. I checked the pipes (1/2") no evidence of clogg. Found a built in filter those shower head does it causes the problem?

With natural gas prices rocketing sky high - what are you doing to keep your heating bills at a minimal? Any unique ideas to heat up your place without giving up your arm this coming winter?

Currently we have an air-forced duct system in place. I really hate it, the heat does not distribute evenly throughout the house and despite of having a so-called humidifier installed
into the system, we still have excessive dry air.

I really liked those old water based - radiator heaters, it minimized static and really kept homes warm -- whatever happen to those?

Anyway, give me ideas on how to maintain a nice warm house this winter, I do not want to make this a major project -- keep it nice and simple.

I also have two non-working fireplaces in this old house, I don't have the slightest idea how to use / maintain one. Currently there are sealed off, and if I get it going ... will it even be safe? will it be worth it ? Please share your ideas with me -- I am desperate! ~thanks
