Maintenance & Repairs - November 2007

I have a KB Home, and I accidentally messed-up one of my Windows. It happened when I closed it one day. The Vinyl became loose, and the Window De-commpressed. I just need to get a Replacement. So, what Brand did KB use?!?

I'd also like to know what Brand of Sink Basin's KB used. That information would be Helpful.

I've got a DeVilbiss 5000 watt power generator. The engine runs fine but it won't generate any power. The circuit breakers are good. I've checked for voltage coming right out of the stator and there's only 2.5V coming off of the 120V side and 5V coming out of the 240V side of the stator windings. The stator winding resistance reads a couple ohms for each winding. I checked the capacitor and it checks right on at 35uF. I checked the stator diode and it checks good. Anyone have a clue what else I can check?
Thanks.

My brother was painting under our deck and was using Olympia Oil Based paint, to protect it. It dripped onto the cement and we cant get it off. We've tried Mineral Spirits and it only got the fresh paint off. Is there any way to get it off without ruining the cement further?

I think my pipe that supplies water to my backyard faucet was capped by the previous owners. How hard is it to "uncap" the pipe to gain usage of it again or is this not possible?

I have State farm insurance and the adjuster and the reinstate states that i had hail damage only on my gutters, even tho i need a roof like now. Even tho i have been paying insurance premiums for 14 years aren't they out to protect me any...they state the roof is to old it appears that they didn't say anything to me when i moved in...But i noticed clients who have roofs under 10 years old they are fixing them like hotcakes. just thought insurance was there for you in case something happens. Now what can i do?

My house is about 10 years old, and my husband and I bought it three years ago. Our water bill has been normal, at least I thought it was normal, until this summer when it skyrocketed. I thought it was maybe due to the fact that my husband accidentally left the sprinkler in the backyard on for over 12 hours.

In past summers, our bill would go up to about $150 or so a month, mostly due to watering the lawn. In July this year the bill was $120...and in September it went up to $700! In October the bill was $277. I'm nervous that we've got an underground leak someplace, but I have no idea how to go about finding out. Do I contact the water company to come find it? Do I have to call a contractor? I don't see any standing water anywhere, we don't have a basement, and the garage is bone dry.

a few weeks ago i was sure i had 20 euro in my trouser pocket and i put them into the washing machine without realising it, when i went to look for the money it wasn't in my trousers anymore and it wasn't in the machine!

then yesterday my sister done the same thing but with 40 euro, so now my machine should have 60 euro rattling around in it but i cant find it, i looked in the drum, the seal, the filter and its not there!

they were all notes, where else might it be??
its a front loader!

cheers!

We have lived in our current house for 4 1/2 years, and the chimney has never been swept or cleaned out once in all that time. Last year I lit one of those creosote logs in the fireplace, but that is the extent to loosening the "stuck-ons" in the chimney.

I think I'm going to buy a chimney sweeper this year. How often should chimneys be swept? Any other advice?

Brands that come to mind are Onan, Kohler and Generac. If you can help me make an informed decision to purchase one over the other, it would be greatly appreciated. I just want to know why one is more than the other and they all generate the same power. Somewhat confusing. Thanks.
