my central air unit has a outlet drain for the condenser above the bathtub in the bathroom, which drips yellow liquid into the tub at times. is this a health hazard and is it against code? i have only ever seen the drain outside of households before.

I'm about to move into a 1940s brick bungalow that I inherited. The house is in fantastic condition, very structurally sound, and has hardwood floors throughout. There is a full daylight basement, which I would really like to convert to a small apartment for my college-age son, as well as create a game room and exercise room. The only obstacle is that the clearance below the joists in the basement ceiling is only about 7 feet, and even less in areas where new ducts were run when the home was outfitted with new central heat and air recently. But on the main level, the ceilings are nine feet high. Is is possible to raise a floor in this type of structure? If so, is it likely to be really costly? What about digging up the concrete foundation in the basement and lowering that instead? Would that work, and would that make more sense? I want to create a less claustrophobic and useful living space, but don't have a bundle of money to put into it.

My husband keeps our garage somewhat of a mess. I have 6 large windows in each of my garage doors, in the top 1/4 of the door. How can I keep people from seeing inside at the messes.

Is there anything or any product any one has that has worked? Like a window tint, a curtain, paint? Something that obscures the view but lets light in? Ideas?

I know, It would probably be easier if he just kept the garage clean and neat.. but I have to face facts, it isnt going to happen!

Thanks!!

And how are they measured- what size would I need for a good panoramic view?

I live in a rural area where mailbox bashing has been a problem over the 14 years we've lived here. I bought the Mail Locker about 5 years ago and haven't had a problem with vandalism since however it has rusted out and bottomed out...mail now gets soaked when it rains...not sure how the water is getting in. Time to get something new. Anyone tried one with successful long term results and still happy with it?

I recently had someone freak out on me because the plates weren't completely dry. Said that we would all get sick if we ate off them. Is that really true? If so, I've been pretty lucky all these year! ;-)
