Squirrels nesting in the heater vent pipe. They were gently removed, along with their nest. They returned via the heater vent pipe on the roof. A new guard was put on the vent pipe; and a humane trap placed in the basement with a yummy attractive peanut butter treat. Voila! Success! The little critters were once again released and this time couldn't return.
Upstairs toilet was running every. 6. minutes. 24/7. I called MSC who advised they had been to the house very recently and confirmed a toilet leak. A new flapper was installed and problem solved. Downstairs toilet flapper readjusted and cleaned; now it fills quicker.
We prefer "soft" lighting in the morning so sconce lighting in the upstairs loo was a glaring and rude wake up call when they were flipped on in the morning. Problem solved with a dimmer switch.
Dining room light fixture installed (with some retrofitting). Wired correctly, we were disappointed when it didn't come on when the switch was flipped. Um, er...lightbulbs, yea. AND a dimmer switch. Perfect.
Part of the roof was re-tarred to stop a possible leak; the roof and downspouts were cleaned out.
Today, the basement was rearranged, items moved from storage to the basement and as needed throughout the house and FIOS is in the house! We now have Internet!!!
