Q.
How do I get rid of mouse in my house???
There's this mouse in my house, I can hear it walking at night when i'm on my bed. It got into every single drawer it chewed throught the bottom of the china cabinet. Got into the couch cusions and literally ate its way through all 3 of the cushions. Chewed through boxes in the cupboard, loaves of bread. I noticed it made a tunnel in the wall in the kitchen so I put a mouse trap there but it never walks on it so the trap is empty and I almost caught my toe in the mouse trap the other night. ...

Wow, you might want to try getting rat poison or mouse traps. If you know where the mouse is attacking, then plant it there and see if anything turns up. If not then call an exterminator to come in an professionally kill it. if you have a cat, let it loose...(Answered by trainwreckBud)

Micheal's answer is a good one. But, if your toliet is an oldie, the tank flapper valve may be waterlogged, so it won't float when you push the handle. Before you do what Micheal suggested, take the top off and watch the flapper while you try to flush. If the flapper comes up pretty far while you hold down the flush handle, but then fall sback dow as soon as you let go, it probbly needs to be replaced. About $2.50 at the hardware store and 5 minutes once you get home with the new flapper!...(Answered by Hank)

I will agree with just about every body's answer. Most pump on whirlpools are nylon impellers or bronze, which both of them should not produce rust. If your water heater is rusting out it could be the problem, draining will only last a while. If you happen to have galvanized pipe of a piece of black pipe in you water system this could cause rust. If you go to other fixtures in your house and get rust out of them it could be that. It could also be from the water main it self, which is ...(Answered by etcher1)

Kreepys are pretty simple. First off make sure that your filter pressure (Kreepy unplugged) is normal. If it's low , you may have a n obstruction in the suction line or the pump impellor is jammed with fine debris like pine needles or a leaf that got past the basket. If high, then a backwash. Clearing out the debris or the backwash will do the trick. If your pressure is ok, check the hose for splits. If all sections of the hose are fine and tight then the issue is in the Kreepy. Look down the business end. You'll see ...(Answered by scubabob)

If the gas is off it will be hard for you to use the normal soapy water to test for leaks since with no pressure you have no leaks. When new lines are installed they are tested with compresses air. The lines are pressurized and the pressure is monitored with a gauge to see if it holds. To do that you will need a air compressor some plumbing fittings inc. a valve and a gauge . Any hardware store should be able to set you up with what to need....(Answered by tallbrian1000)

What can I do to stop ciggarette smoke from coming into my townhouse from the townhouse next to our?

Are you sure its coming through the vents and the stair wall? If it is then there is a fire code violation. Separate dwelling units must have a fire rated separation to prevent the spread of fire from one unit to the next for a long enough period to let everyone escape. Cigarette smoke is one thing Toxic smoke from a fire next door is something else. If you rent the property see the landlord. You can also talk to the local fire department....(Answered by frozen)

We are going to place it approx. 60" in from the front. The height for the chimney must be 3' above the highest point where it passes throught the roof and at least 2' above anything within a 10' horiznal radius of it. ... (Asked by Jonas W)

A.
Since your roof is a 4/12 pitch(rise of 4 inches per foot) any point 10 feet from the chimney going up the roof would be 40" higher than the roof at the chimney. You then need to add 24" additional height above that. So your height for your chimney will be a minimum of 64". If you are 10 feet or less from the peak you only have to be 24" above the peak....(Answered by stedyedy)

A socket has a neutral and a line side (power). You can have power to the socket, but if the contacts (both the power and the neutral) aren't making contact, it won't work. Unplug, then check the center of the socket for a contact that is sticking up. Sometimes they will over time stay depressed and won't make contact....(Answered by Jimmytheblade)
