Rent what??? I have no job, even $30.00 is a lot for me, for what ever you're talking about, thanks.T

Hi, I'm in IL. Yes, I know, lots of really bad weather.

Hi again. Well, now it's much worse . We've had extreme (below zero, basically for 2 mo.). Now, it's very rainy, & windy but warmer. It is supposed to drop next week (at night) in the teens. Anyway, about 3 feet of the siding above my 2 LR window, has peeled, (prob. from all the rain?) and it fl...

:cry: Yes, that's right. We've had high winds, fairly heavy rain, & water has gotten in my Coleman furnace. Not a lot, but enough. This has happened twice before. I do have a service agreement with my heat provider, but I still have to fork out $100.00 (each) to cover the circuit board. I prob. ...

Hey, THANKS Brenda! I'm going to leave it for now, way too cold. Not to mention I must rent at least a 7ft ladder, to get way up there. Any/all suggestions are appreciated!

Hi, again, hopefully this thread won't get shut down :roll: Anyways, I've had this ongoing problem I have a double window in my living room. It leaks water from the top when there's heavy rain. Right now of course, it's the dead of winter, luckily no (melted or otherwise) snow has come in. The sidin...

on the toilet, do you mean if you slowly pour a gallon of water into the bowl, the water level rises, it does not go down the drain hole? reason I ask is, that would mean the drain line below the toilet below the floor has frozen and clogged... if the water level stays the same as water is added, y...

I don't know wheretoliet water intake is, is it behind toliet
by that siver thingie you use to turn it off?
I'm going to go over w/blow dryer, also small portable heater

Thanks, Bea,
no toliet doesn't flush

I read the articles. Thing is, there's also over 1 foot of snow/extreme cold, so no going under
neath to do all that stuff. Would pouring RV
antifreeze down drain help>? Thanks again

Not me, but my elderly neighbor! Please, dont suggest calling maint. , they will not help owners at all. :twisted: I know that the skirting around her home has 'pulled away', possibly letting in the cold air below It's EXTEMELY cold here, she has no running water at all, I don't think she has $ to c...

M'am....I'm sorry I live so far away. I regret that I have no secure answer but do not be discouraged. On reading some previous posts I saw where one of our friends had a plumbing problem that she could find no answer for and suddenly.....a plumber arrived..with the exact correct parts in hand! Go ...

Tiny let me offer up a few thoughts here in an effort to help. First and foremost when dealing with contractors or handypersons (yes..wimminfolks do this too!) ask your friends and neighbors. Don't be bashful about walking right in and talking to a homeowner as they are having some repairs/work don...

I have leaky windows also, my home is about a '95..

or contractor. I've been ripped off :oops: (twice). No small amounts, either. It doesn't look like I can get any $ back, or even complain. I've been on a 'list' to find reliable contractors/handymen, so far no one does this type of work! Although, I did send out 5 more fresh emails requesting quotes...
