Natural products like boric acid, cedar oil, and lavender plants are possible options. - Roof and Attic Fan: Should Mary replace the attic fan with a new roof? We recommend using a ridge vent instead of an attic fan, but she can still use a whole-house fan. - Popping Nails: Nails keep popping through the sheetrock. Bob should use screws instead, or overlap the head of the original nail with a second one to hold it in. - Wildlife: Chipmunks are getting inside Linda's steel building. We suggest adding siding material to cover any gaps and using spray foam insulation to fill them. - Outdoor Septic: Peter's soil stack vent freezes solid in winter. He should insulate the pipe up to the point where it exits the roof. - Ceiling Mold: A roof leak left a mold stain on Wendy's ceiling. She can clean it with a bleach solution, then use a good primer before repainting the ceiling. - Water Heater: Harry is curious about tankless water heaters, but he should look at heat pump water heaters instead since he has an electrical system.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?
