    No beam in the ceiling

    When I moved into my condo there was a slight crack in the ceiling. It actually looks like it was plastered over and extends pretty much the whole length of the dining room, about 10-15 feet. When I tried to nail up the dry wall, I noticed there was no beam anywhere near the seam where the two...

    Un responsive HOA

    I live in a condo and our ceiling has gotten worse since we've moved in. There was a crack, almost like there was a missing beam in the attic, along the ceiling in the living room that had obviously been patched. Over the last few months, it started to re-crack. The HOA said they would cover any...

    Central air repair question

    My central air unit outside won't run, but the fan inside the condo runs. I'm having an HVAC tech out tomorrow. They charge $105 hour + $69 trip charge. Is this a fair price? Assuming they actually figure out why it's not running and can fix it within the hour?

    Getting cool air into the bedroom

    Thanks for the advice. Yes my condo is all on one floor. Theres a central air unit outside, then the air handler, if I'm thinking of the right box, is in a closet in the living room, all the way on the opposite side of the bedroom. I was thinking maybe this is why it's so weak in the bedroom?

    Noisy portable AC units

    I recently went through 2 portable AC units for my bedroom that just doesn't cool off. They cooled it off, and didn't make much noise when the fan was on, but as soon as the coolant kicked it it sounded like a jet engine in my room. I don't have a big bedroom, so I'm curious if there's any...

    Asbestos under wood tiles?

    Hey everyone. So I was helping a friend dig up an old wooden parquet style floor in a foreclose he bought. The house was built in 1966. While digging up the wood panels a lot of dust was in the air, and thinking it was just concrete I didn't have a ventilator. Does anyone know if they use to put...
