The roof and foundation of my house needs to be fixed. If I get the roof done first because it is leaking, will it be affected when the foundation is fixed?

Should I be worried that external doors in my home are shifting to a point that I can't lock them without lifting them up? When we first moved into the house we noticed that both the front door and the back door had slight open area at the top of the door and locking them required a little fiddling. Unfortunately the gap at the top of the door (especially the back) has grown wider and it's near impossible to lock the door without a lot of work.

We're redoing my parents roof and their chimney needs some repair work as well. Is it better to do the masonry work before or after we do the rest of the roof?

Solutions for cooling a hot room We have a 14' x 20' room with southern exposure, 16' ceilings, lots of windows, and registers in the ceiling. It gets very hot in the afternoon. I'm looking for suggestions for how to keep it more comfortable. It shares a wall with the hallway where our thermostat is installed. Might we add a through-wall ventilation fan near the floor of the room, along with a vent near the ceiling, to pull cooler air from the hallway and let the warmer air escape? Any other ideas? Thanks!

Is there anything I can do from inside my attic to battle ice dams? I'll worry about preventing them next, for now I have them and want to speed up their melt. Getting up to the gutter is not a safe option right now, so I'm wondering if there is anything I can do from the attic that won't make things worse.

Our new home does not have insulation or sound proofing between floors. Can we fix this now? You can hear the TV from our den when in the master which is directly above. Would love to find a contractor that can remedy this, hopefully without pulling up the floor.
