Maintenance & Repairs - November 2007

My basement is very cold because of gaps in the cement wall surrounding the door. The cold air seeps through the gaps in the cement and I'd like to seal it off. Any ideas?

We live in an apartment where we can hear everything above us (footsteps, talking, cell phones vibrating, etc.). Our landlords claim to have installed a carpet with padding in the room above us, but there is no difference in sound transmission. Does anyone know specifically what type of padding should be used to reduce these noises? It is currently impossible to sleep or relax in our apartment and we have another five months before our lease is up. I would like specifics to take to the rental company so we can get something that will actually work.

First I'm supposedly getting a yahoo bag..then compact fluorescent bulbs.
Needless to say, I never got either.
Some "incentive" yahoo...
Anybody else answer zillions of questions (and thereby uping yahoos profit margin) and get nothing? Just wondering.

we first signed the papers with our roofers on the 2nd of october,after months of trying to find one,
he said the work would be done no later than the 15th of the month, on the 17th we were waken by the materials being delivered, none of them spoke english, we had to move the materials off our lawn,
finally on the 25th the roofer returns our calls and says he will have it done by the 30th ,
when that day went we called and called ,now he says he broke his toe .
how much longer should we deal with this ,plus we got a lien by registered mail from the materials peoples,
we chose this companty because they are family owned
been in buisness longer than i have been around,
i hate to go to the bbb,but what can or should we do ,
its almost winter ,i know there is a leak i dont want it to get worse

So, we gave away an extra dryer we had. It worked perfectly fine right before we gave it away. They just hooked it up and it won't turn on. They even checked the fuses. What could it be??

Mornings in winter are usually very cold. When we wake up, we find a lot of mist and fog around. Where does this mist and fog come from?

I've been living in the same house for a long time, and we always use about 200 cubic feet/month, getting a water bill around $40 like clockwork. I just got a $200 water bill saying I used more than 800 cubic feet- what would cause this??

I checked the water meter and the last two weeks I only used 100 cubic feet of water, so I don't think it's a leak.

Thank you!

When you flush the toilet, you have to leave the handle down an extra second or 2 for it to flush. Otherwise the bowl will not empty. it's annoying when we have guests & they think they have broke something.

So, here's my situation. I have had a couple incidents where water appears to be dripping from my air duct in the ceiling above my bedroom closet. It hasn't been a lot of water, just a small amount. It's dripped onto my drop ceiling tile two times. I got up in there and was able to see that there was a small amount of water on top of the air duct that has trickled down. Is this MY air duct creating this water/condensation? Or, here's a key factor, is it the upstairs neighbor? I live in a condo and there is a resident upstairs and I'm pretty certain their bathroom is above my closet. So, is hit possible to have water appear on top of the duct due to something wrong with my duct or heating/ac system (heat pump). Or, is it more than likely the upstairs neighbor having some kind of plumbing issue/toilet overflow issue? Thanks!

We recently moved into a new home. It has a dishwasher in it and a garbage disposal. The dishwasher pulls food from the disposal. My dishes are worse coming out than going in and incrusted with ground up food. Is my disposal full?? If so how do you empty them or do you have to buya new one?? I don't think it is the dishwasher but that is a definite possiblity! Any ideas??
