The thermostat is on the wall of the hallway right as you come in the front door, and the register is right around the corner of the wall. Something like this.......... { H } { A } { L } { L } { } ________________...

Difference in Thermostats????

Hi everyone, I live in a 1998 Southridge by Patriot in hot, humid, Mississippi. I have noticed that my ac is cutting on and off approximately every 5 min (set at 82-83 degrees). The unit is in the hall between the 2nd bedroom and the bath. I have the registers closed in the front bedroom and the bat...

Re: Screws for aluminum siding

I will be looking at this project soon as well. Two questions: should I automatically go ahead and use larger screws in case some are stripped out, and would fitting some type of felt in between keep the rust from staining the siding? Make that three questions :) What do you recommend for removing r...

Re: Noise from air conditioning unit

So this is what I have done so far: I bought an acoustic ceiling tile from Home Depot that almost fit the space perfectly. I cut 3/4 of an inch off 2 sides and then trimmed another 1/2" off another to fit into the space. I also cut a hole in the center for the duct that was hanging down; wedge ...

Re: Noise from air conditioning unit

Please be patient with me! I am in a '98 Southridge by Patriot and it has been okay so far, (better than some of my friends with different manufacturers) but it seems like now everything is falling down around me. So many things to fix and right now I have the time but not much money. I am single an...

Re: General repair stuff

Susan that is why I came to the board today! My tub and part of my shower base has turned yellow as well. After talking to a friend of mine who is having the same problem, I pretty much have come to the conclusion that it is due to sunlight from the window in my bathroom. As usual, it started out wi...

Re: applying roof coating

I was wondering the same thing as well. I will be doing this soon and was also wanting to know how long it takes to roll a 16 x 80? I will be attempting this myself so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: What could be causing this?

I don't have a laser printer:( I am thinking that it might be my vacuum cleaner. I use a small shop vac. Just dumbfounds me. I have lived here for 14 years and never had this problem til I changed out the floors. Thanks for all the suggestions from everyone.

Re: Noise from air conditioning unit

I guess that would be helpful! I'm sorry. It is a central unit. The cover that has the louvered piece is on the top covering the condensor? (looks like a radiator on a car except it looks like a tent), and then below there is a solid cover that is over the motor area. This is where I was thinking of...

Noise from air conditioning unit

I would like input on an idea I have for quieting the noise from the unit running in the house. I have found that since I installed laminate flooring, the noise is much more prominent, to the point we are constantly turning up and down the remote for the TV just to hear over it. Since it is located ...

Re: What could be causing this?

I appreciate everyone's suggestions. Still, not sure though. As far as fingerprints........there are random places on my walls that would suggest differently. Some of these spots are large areas. I have cleaned my fan regularly and these spots are appearing in different rooms in the house. On the si...

What could be causing this?

I am hoping someone knows what this is; I get these black spots on my walls, refrigerator, and mini blinds. They are black and somewhat hard to clean off especially on the blinds, like a very fine dust or something. My walls, appliances, and blinds are white. I have lived in my home for 14 years and...
