refrigerator repair
BLADE asked:


I have a small refrigerator that does not work I want to find a site that show schematics on how to repair them.
I’d like to repair the one I have and not waste money on buying a new one when this one could probably be repaired. with something simple.

I have a number of electrical appliances such as CHI flat irons that broke (small wire dammage that can be fixed) or other irons or blow dryers that I don’t use anymore. Are there any places that take such things for money or at least recycling? Some of the appliances were pricey and hardly used and I feel bad just throwing them away. Any ideas will be appreciated :)

203k Streamline questions

Newsgirl asked:


I have lots of questions and it seems our mortgage broker is unsure of a lot of things, let me tell you how nervous that makes me!

We were pre-approved for an FHA loan, we were looking at foreclosures as the broker mentioned the 203k streamline loan as a great option for us. We have found the home we want, put in an offer and it has been accepted. THe broker told us that all repairs needed to paid for in advance and the the reimbursments would be made after that. First he told us we did not have to have a contractor now he says we do. Please tell me how this works??! We are looking at less than $11,000 worth of repairs (new carpet, new paint, new appliances and repair/updrade lighting). Lowes has come out and quoted the carpet and we are ready to order. Appliances have been purchased and all the receipts and quotes have been turned into the broker.We are fine with paying for everything and then getting the money back. Do we have to have an additional inspection for the repairs? Who do we contact? We are in North Carolina.

Thanks! We appreciate all the help!

Are new appliances better in term of saving energy?

Nirmanakaya asked:


My light bill just keeps growing no matter what I do. We have change the bulbs for the new green ones that are suppose to save you money every month. I keep my thermostad at 78 and not lower even sun is balzing hot outside… is there any benefit on having new appliances. Is it really worth the investment?
