[POSTED: 12/05/09] - I have a neighbor who has no internet to access neighbor to neighbor and needs help re the fan that comes on every hour and freezes her house. Her electric bill is running @175/225/mo and she is freezing! Anyone who can help her resolve this please call nancy at 769-9819. She will appreciate your help. [POSTED: 12/05/09][1637] - There is a bigger problem than just the fan running. When was the last time any maintanance was done to her A/C and Furnace units? Does she change her A/C filter regularly. Just a fan running cannot cause that high bill. POSTED: 12/05/09][1429] - On the Fan subject - Have you checked the setting on your thermostat? The fan setting on mine is Auto and it is just fine. Ive never had a bill over $100.00 and the temperature is just right. A similar question has been asked and answered many times. Following are the responses to those: webmaster:

[POSTED: 12/06/09] - Has anyone had a problem with a window spontaneously breaking? We had this happen this morning to the master bathroom window in our Emerald. I do know that Pulte had this problem with windows in their Las Vegas homes, but need to know if it is a problem here also. Could Pulte still be responsible for this? Call Vance or Cathy at 769-2591 or email vancath@verizon.net [POSTED: 12/06/09][1542] - Re: Window breaking - I have had one of the stationary windows in dining room crack completely across (stress crack from earthquake) - if you are an original owner the windows are still under warranty (ten years) - look for the product number on the inside of the frame and call MilGuard. [POSTED: 12/08/09][1725] - Thanks for the info on the window breaking. We contacted Milguard and they will be out to fix it under warranty.

[POSTED: 12/07/09] - Our smoke alarm is chirping in our Emerald bedroom and weve tried locating which alarm needs a new battery. The bedroom or the hallway one doesnt seem to have internal access. Has anyone solved this problem? Kept us awake 2 nights and we had to pull it apart from the mount. Thanks, Beth & Joe Dotan 845-6681 [POSTED: 12/08/09][1106] - Regarding smoke alarm battery, I was told to change them all once a year.

[POSTED: 01/11/10] - Need to know a go-to person for a gopher problem in my yard. If you are going to give me hints on how to take care of it myself that is appreciated, but also please if there is a good service to call please let me know. I will probably end up taking care of this myself so if it is something a woman can do let me know or I will have to call someone. I have a small dog (who I can restrict from the backyard for a while if I need to). Thanks for your help. Nancy [POSTED: 01/11/10][1740] - Nancy, we had luck ridding our yard of gophers by placing raw onions in the holes. They dont like the smell, its a hastle finding their hole and placing a cut of onion in it. Remember that they will go some place else and hope you are on good terms with your neighbors. Its a cheap way to try at least before you call the professionals. Good Luck! Linda Donardt

[POSTED: 01/19/10] - Backyard Storm Drain. For those who may not know: If you have a backyard storm drain, you will find a drain outlet in your front yard near the street. The drain outlet has a spring loaded lid. Grass growing over the lid will prevent it from lifting and your back yard may flood during a heavy rain.

[POSTED: 06/10/10] - There were some recommendations for a dentist a while back, unfortunately I didnt write them down. Would you mind posting the recommendations again? Thank you! [POSTED: 06/11/10][1056] - Re Dentist: My wife and I go to Dr. Mitchell and have been very pleased with him. His office is located in the Rite Aid plaza between The Sandtrap and Toluccas which makes it very convenient for Solera residents.
