Getting rid of a dead mouse in duct work?
Q. I entered my bedroom today after a few hours of being out and there was a god awful stench. I discovered a dead mouse in the heating duct, that sort of does and S-bend, then falls directly into the main duct that goes to the furnace. We tried getting the mouse out, but it ended up getting knocked into the main duct. As I said, I have no idea if it would have fallen all the way into the furnace, or if it is laying on something solid in the main (vertical above/into furnace) duct. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really can't afford a professional to come in and remove it, but the smell is horrible, and I don't want to deal with the flies. I have access to that duct, but there are no openings. Is it possible for me to cut it open and… [cont.]

A. A long hose on a vacuum cleaner. That should be able to at least get the mouse body out of there. A hose may be able to 'wiggle' around enough to suck up the mouse at least onto the nozzle. Yes, a dead mouse is a miserable odor.

Ducting on a older home home remodel ... Can you simply block off a duct to a section of the house?
Q. I have a older house w/newer ducting for heat/ac. The ducting was routed under the kitchen counter and there was a section cut out of a cabinet (kickboard) to release the air. I'm curious if I can simply block off the duct work? or should I go thru the hasle of cutting out the new flooring? I've had to pull out all the flooring on 1/2 the kitchen to repair dryrot issues so access is still easy. I dont think having this one register out of the loop would really affect the house much but I guess thats why I'm asking. Should I have the ducting simply blowing into the bottom of the cabinet? and then putting on a grate or something similar on the front kickboard to release pressure?

A. don't worry about the pipe. but disconnect it from the main duct and put a patch over it so it doesn't reduce the efficiency of the rest of the system. if you ever feel like it you can go down there and pull the pipe out or just leave it there if you ever feel like putting it back

Where to put the filter for my furnace.....?
Q. Long story short, I rent a duplex and it hasn't been changed in a long time. I've never done it and there were 2 filters sitting side by side in the duct and basically not doing any filtering. So my question is should the filter be right by the return air vent or closer to the furnace? It's kinda hard to explain how my set up is. Basically a vent in the wall up by the ceiling, goes through some duct work approx 2 ft then a 90 degree drop down to the furnace. The "access hole" to get to the filters was only a small hole about 6"x6" and the filters that were in there were 16"x16"

A. Yes, I can see how getting a 16 x 16 air filter through a 6 x 6 hole would be hard to explain??? Normally, furnace filters are located within the blower compartment inside the furnace or in close proximity to the furnace on the exterior of the cabinet. They could also be located in a filter grill (the cover of which can be opened for filter replacement) which can be located on a ceiling, floor, or wall remote from the furnace itself. In mobile homes filters can also be located in the door of the furnace or in the door that separates the living space from the furnace. If you're confused about what to do, I'd contact your landlord for enlightenment. After all, it is his equipment. Good luck.

Removing Plantar warts with duct tape: does it turn white before it falls off?
Q. I have been keeping duct tape on my plantar wart for about 3 months. Slowly, my body pushed it further and further out, and every six days I would soak it, then scrape off any access w/ a puimice stone. Now, I have been puting salicylic acid on it, then wrapping it with duct tape and allowing it to work all day, until the next morning when I remove the duct tape. Peices of the wart are coming off in chunks, but it's a funky white color. I'm just wondering if I'm getting close to getting rid of this thing, as I have been doing this method forever, it seems.

A. When it turns white, it's dead skin. Keep using the pumice stone to smooth things out. When you get the wart pretty well gone, you'll want to make sure the skin is smooth regularly so that when you're finished it's all smooth. Once you think it's gone, use some of the cracked heal cream after washing and pumicing it so the skin heals and is smooth.

Can I use alum. to replace corroded galv. central air ductwork?
Q. Galvanized ducts are corroded and need replaced. If I use the same duct dimensions, could I completely replace the galv. (16ga. or 14ga.) with sheet aluminum (12ga.)? What would be the difference, if any, in R value. I work in a factory where I have access to the aluminum sheets, and can obtain scraps relatively cheap.

Watering system for plants while I'm on vacation?

A. No. This essay is way too long. Most college application essays are limited to 500 words. Also, if this is not your primary essay, but one used to explain past situations or grades, it is still too lengthy and needs to be cut to about 300 words. Anything longer will come off as whiny and indicate that you will not be able to balance your schoolwork with your illness. My suggestion, start with sparing the reader the long description of IBS. Most people have heard of it and admissions officers, if they want to know, will look it up. Otherwise, they're too busy looking through apps at about 2 minutes a piece, so they'll skip it or be bored.

Q. I would like to share with you something about my current medical situation. Ordinarily I would not do so, as I am an intensely private person, but I now accept that my physical limitations have quite possibly impacted my high school performance in a negative manner, and I feel that it is only fair that you have this information. Therefore, I am reluctantly going to allow access to information that I would never, otherwise, speak of. For the past several years, I have been afflicted by a physical situation that has sometimes interfered with my ability to focus, both in the classroom and out. I do not wish to be too specific about the symptoms of my disease, except to say that they are digestive in nature and sometimes require me to spend… [cont.]

A. No. This essay is way too long. Most college application essays are limited to 500 words. Also, if this is not your primary essay, but one used to explain past situations or grades, it is still too lengthy and needs to be cut to about 300 words. Anything longer will come off as whiny and indicate that you will not be able to balance your schoolwork with your illness. My suggestion, start with sparing the reader the long description of IBS. Most people have heard of it and admissions officers, if they want to know, will look it up. Otherwise, they're too busy looking through apps at about 2 minutes a piece, so they'll skip it or be bored.

A. You made your entire essay an essay about IBS, and not about you. This just describes IBS, but you never personalize it to yourself, and you get off-topic (topic being you) quickly and never get back on track. And it feels as if you are asking for sympathy. Everyone knows sympathy is given out of compassion, not when someone is basically asking for it.

A. I don't have any hard facts about this, but I'd be wary about basing your personal essay on the impacts of IBS. It's alright to discuss causal factors that negatively affected your GPA. Usually this can be done with one or two sentences. But IBS, unfortunately, is not well known and, based on anecdotal from what I hear from others, is kind of controversial. Some believing that IBS really is a disease and others ... well ... discredit it, considering it silly. It's like attention deficit disorder: a lot of controversy over it and a negative stigma attached to it by those who are skeptical about it. Lastly, whether it is IBS or cancer, be careful about framing yourself as a victim. Admission officers are aware that certain medical… [cont.]
