Hi,
Someone is selling me his Coleman 5000 watts generator for $150. don't know much about generator but know I need one for this summer because last year we had a black out and had to deal with the hot weather.
Wonder if it's good and will it run a fan and household appliance?

My neighbor's cat has been eating my plants for 3 years! I tell him to keep his cat away and he won't....he is mean! Every year I buy new plants and the damn cat keeps chewing on them.

How can I keep the cat away? I am ready to shoot the damn thing with a BB Gun (it's legal in wisconsin).

Do you have any suggestions? I tried moth balls and this cat repelling product that I got on e-bay, and nothing works!

I live in a 2bdrm apt in Los Angeles and every summer it gets really hot and stuffy. I keep all the windows open and have 4 fans running constantly but it still feels like an oven! The windows open sidways so I can't put in an AC, any suggestions?!

Hi

Wasn't sure which section to put this in!

I need a device I can add onto a standard tank toilet so that it'll automatically flush once a day.

We've trained our cats to use the toilet, but they can't flush (no opposable thumbs....) I'd be happier leaving them alone for a couple of days if I knew the toilet would flush.

Apologies for the bizarre question. Most devices on the market seem to be "no touch" infrared affairs, which obviously isn't what I need.

I just moved into a new house, and I want a laser that will help me put my pictures up straight. Maybe suggest one that won't reduce my loved one to ashes. And, hey, if it straighten's my grandfather's back as well that would be great.

I've had no calls so far. I live in the western suburbs of Chicago. Mls # 06494525 My realtor is coming back out to retake pictures for the listing. We're priced under most homes in the neighborhood. I know the market is slow, but I'm suprised at the lack of calls. It's 4bedroom 3-car garage. 6yrs old. For those of you that are selling, how many showings are you getting?

We just bought a house and moved in on saturday, and yesterday i was cleaning and heard noises in the upstairs bedroom. Like footsteps and closing of a closet door, the only thing is that my boyfriend was asleep. And also he woke up to noises too thinking that it was me but i was cleaning not moving heavy stuff around. What should i do? Is there a website that tells about homes if somone died in there?

Even though it's a new energy-efficient model, I still don't want to use the electricity for such a long period of time. Will it harm the fridge if I shut it off for so long?

I have several different species of Ivy throughout my house, and none of them are getting enough sunlight. I want to move them to the only window I have that allows for morning to midafternoon light, and I would like to put them on a decorative table, problem is that my girls (my cats) LOVE to get any to any kind of plant I have. How do I keep them from eating, laying on and digging in my house plants? Do not suggest anything that will harm them, that is out of the question! Thank you all for the help!

Is it true that if you file a claim with your home owners insurance, they'll likely terminate your coverage and not pay the claim? I heard that as soon as you file a claim, the Insurance company cancels your policy. Has this ever happened to anyone? Has anyone else ever heard of this? dalisash@comcast.net

I have paid a lot of money to get my house built. I have recently moved in and have a list of fairly minor faults that need to be recitified. My problem is that the building supervisor tends to brush off my concerns. He does not reply to phone messages or letters until I have pursued him repeatedly. I finally got him to my house today to fix a leak in the pipes. He insisted the leak was fixed, but as he left I noticed the leak was still going and had to stop him as he backed down my drive (with the radio on, eating a sandwich, and talking on his phone). I only got him to come back in after he had done a lot of swearing. When he got back he discovered the pipe had a crack he had missed before (this was his third attempt)!! Every minor issue with the house takes this sort of trouble to get him to fix it? I am becoming a nervous wreck because of this. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can better deal with these issues in future?
