Question: Plumbing/hot water dispenser. I have a question about the hot water dispenser I just installed in my sink. I replaced the old unit with a new one. Connected al the pipes and delivery tube just fine. Plugged it in and got hot water. So, where's the problem you ask? Well, when you run the water out of the spout, after a few seconds a small drip seems to accumulate at the base of the spout. Do I "go inside" the faucet or exchange it for anew one? It's easier to make an adjustment than to take it all out and drag it back for an exchange. What say you? –– "Irwin Worshell" irwin.worshell@sympatico.ca (Ref:0064)

Answer: We had similar problem, complete elimination of the grubs is the way we did it. We had to regularly check all the stored foodstuff and keep nuts flour and grain in airtight containers. -- Sara Brightwell
Answer: You can reduce any bug problem by the following tips: When you buy flour or cornmeal, freeze it for twenty-four hours before placing in canister. I would also look very hard at using plastic seal containers for all dry goods like flour and breakfast cereals, rice, etc. If you buy the right size containers, maybe you can stack and still have room. We live in southern Texas and cock roaches was our dilemma. However by doing the above and not using any sticky shelf paper, which they like to eat, I have had no more troubles. Also, if anybody else has cock roach problems, get rid of wall paper as they like to eat paste on that as well. In fact any glue like substance feeds the critters.
