Not mine, but my friends kenmore electric dryer is taking forever to dry clothes. It still produces heat but just takes a long time. Could the heating element be going out? Do they fail somewhat and not produce as much heat or is it all or nothing? What else could be the problem?

So long story short, due to illness, my former mother in law can no longer afford the 2nd home she owns. The place is dilapidated and should have been torn down years ago, but she found someone to rent it from her. She was mentioning selling it to a developer, I figured why can't the developer...

Hello. My dishwasher doesn't work. It's a 3 year old Frigidaire. Everything seems to work, I hit start and I hear the pump turn on but no water comes out. It's bone dry in there. I had a tech come out while I was at work and my teenagers were hoke. They report he was here for about 15 minutes...

Hi, I am planning on going over my beat up wood floor with LVT. I have a wood stove insert and I will need to extend the hearth so it doesn't ruin the LVT. The current clearance from the front of the stove to the wood floor is only about a foot so that's no good either, though I have used the...

I bought a digital radon meter. I put the detector in the basement and it says 4.07(which is too high) I then placed the meter on the ground floor and it says 4.35. I'm confused why the radon level is higher on the ground floor. The basement has no ventilation. The upper floors I have all the...

So nice of u to assume I'm a "flaming AH" but I assure you that this was not the case. In fact I wasn't even there, it was a landscaping estimate.

Yea I would much rather go with a concrete driveway. A lot of people around me have asphault but they are not in good shape. I don't know the age of my driveway or how well constructed it is, but the squares are 8x8 with no expansion joints cut. The driveway is cracked and it heaves with the...

No, they listed the things they would do but they didn't itemize the individual cost of each item.

Here is the quote

It'd mostly concrete but the approach is asphault, so 90% concrete

No way, u can definitley look around and see im not a perfectionist

My driveway is big, about 1600sqft I was told by a cement company it will take 2 trucks of cement. Anyways I got a quote for 14k for cement and a quote for 11,500 for asphault (3 inches) Are these fair prices? I thought asphault was about half what cement costs.

Is it just me or does this happen to everyone. Virtually every company I contact for home repairs tries to rip me off. Have to call 10 companies to get a decent price on something. Had a quote for 2 windows for 5 grand. Paid 4k for tile that the crumbled a couple years later then another...

He talked me out of having a guy tunnel bore it with a cheaper price and a promise that all I would have to do is throw some grass seed down.

Here is a pic

It's mostly just a few inches but there are a couple places where it's a foot or so. The ground under the top soil is clay very rocky. Tons of rocks. So i went through and took a couple inches off the top to remove the rocks. Then I put in top soil and tamped it down. It looked ok and then we...

It was private contractor that did the excavation. He didn't steal it. I watched the whole time. It just settled back in unevenly. It needs to be filled and leveled about 3 feet each side of the trench

So last fall I git hooked up to city water after my well quit. It looked ok until the snow melted and the excavation site partially caved in. It's a trench about 60 feet long and 4 feet wide that has a depression running the length and width that is anywhere from a couple inches to a foot in...

Hi. I have a small rook on the back of my house that is essentially a dead space. It's 5x20. I believe it was once a sunroof that was enclosed. It has 4 sets of windows. My house has no access to the backyard except by walking out the front door and walking around. That's no good, it makes it a...
