Home Maintenance & Repairs: Not all of the vents in my house seem to be working properly, and my thermostat sometimes is set higher, then what the

house temperature reads. Examples: Thermostat gets turned to 68 and 5 hours later, it says it is 63 in here. I can feel heat coming out of some vents, but not others, or else it felels ...»
like cooler air coming out. I just had a new circuit board put in three years ago, nothing is obsturcting the vents and I did check to make sure they were all open. Any suggestions? I am tired of freezing in the smaller of two bathrooms, and a couple of other rooms. HELP!!!

    Well, I suspect our problem is our substandard system. The house was built in 2001 and the ...»
    system is the original one. It went through foreclosure twice before we bought it and sat empty for a long time. The system has NEVER worked properly since we moved in. Every summer we must have someone come out and put in more freon because we have a small leak. We've lived here since 2008 and every year we've had to have some kind of work done on the unit. Once we can afford a new unit, I plan to have the duct work checked too to make sure it's in good condition and located properly. Too bad, Woodbridge, you aren't in Middle TN. You sound like you know what you're doing and I'd hire you in a heartbeat! :)

I used "Restore" on my deck this past summer. Comes in multiple colors, and did exactly what I was told it would do -

filled in cracks, covered well - no sanding invoived, Just powerwash, lite scrubbing at "mossy areas" and bang! I chose to not back roll the second coat and leave the finish product textured, to help when walking on it in icy conditions.

Inviting Deck With Screened Porch

This project involved removing an existing deck and building a larger deck that included a large screened porch. The roof design was critical to avoiding blocking any light into the upper ...»
rooms of the house or darkening any of the first floor spaces. A small outdoor kitchen area was incorporated into the deck design. Due to the West-facing orientation, we chose materials that will hold up better and require less maintenance. The height and extension of the structure over the driveway also was a key variable in the project design.<?xml:namespace prefix = o />
