What would an estimated cost of replacing lower ball joints on my 1998 Ford F150? I called a fairly reliable repair shop this morning and they gave me an estimate of approximately $365. This would...

This is so true. This weekend, I took apart my bathroom sink so I could paint the wall behind it. I got to taking the pipes apart and my lord it was so ugly to see all the crud that forms inside...

Thank you, my main question was what do I use for for ceiling textures? The ceiling was sprayed to that "popcorn effect".
Do I use a joint compound after the drywall is primed? And is there a...

Does ones use just regular joint compound for repairing part of a roof?

I have a spot about 18x30 that I had to replace in my bathroom roof. I accidentally stepped through it when in the attic a...

Does ones use just regular joint compound for this?

MY guess would be that either the old HWH had a dip tube that was all diminished and was pushing through all the water lines. You then replaced with a new HWH but the lines were not flushed...

I did not have time to do that last night but will try tonight and let you know.
Still waiting on new spout that Delta is sending me...

I don't think this is the case as I am all but positive that all the water leaks out from the spout to the rear end (towards the tub wall) but I still am going to spend the little money and try your...

I will leave it alone for awhile then and see if it goes away.

I used an iron pipe nipple just like the one I had on there only that I had to get a shorter one for this new spout.

Threaded iron pipe nipple that extends about 1/2" from tub wall

I am sorry! But the only two words I have for you are... Grow up!

If you been following my story, I wanted to ask on a separate post about something else. Each time I turn on the bath faucet a spurt of rusty/dirty water comes up before the water clears again. ...

The only thing I can think of this that I was only able to use tape on the iron nipple and not the inner piece to the spout. That piece is too tightly screwed into the spout and I could not get it...

Well, interesting thing. Last night I tried to redo and used more teflon tape this time. At first we seen no leaks and the amount of water that was coming from the spout after turning the shower...

Just grab his thingee and tell him we are having sex whether you like it or not!
I don't mean to sound jokingly here but you need to be blunt with him and just do it!

The Delta one is chrome over plastic. One of the replacement ones I have is similar but is a chrome over brass.

Figure 1 is exactly what I am dealing with and will be replacing as soon as Delta gets me the new again to try.
In the mean time, I may try using more Teflon tape on the threads and see if that...

The 2 replacement spouts that I tried are universal types. They are for use on any type of faucet. There were adapters with the spout that allow one to use the spout on any type application.
I do...

I was not that generous. Maybe one or two wraps. The instructions specify to use teflon tape only and not to use any kind of pipe compound.
I will try this tonight with more teflon tape and see...

Good choice, you will be better off plus you won't have to worry for another 8-12 years at least.
HWH is one of them things we take for granted until they go bad. Most people don't even worry about...

Are you talking about the pipe that comes hooks to the faucet itself and comes through the wall?
If so, it is not a copper pipe.
I think you are talking about a different type spout all together...

I had the same thing happen to me and I would say the dip tube in the HWH is broken somewhat or gone all together. You can change the dip tube or if the HWH is older than 8 years-I would just change...

It makes sense but I am not exactly sure what you mean by the copper stub-out. I did notice with the replacement spouts that I purchased that there was an allen wrench supplied with it. But the ...

I replaced my bath faucet and now am struggling (to say the least) to get the tub spout to not leak.
It is a brand new spout that come with the faucet. A delta faucet.
I cannot get the spout to...

That is my guess jpaulda. I just went through the same thing he is going through now.
In this case, a little investment into a new HWH would be like a million bucks to him right now.
If the dip...

Good darn ?

Well. After entire weekend of total misery we have finished my mission.
We started Friday night by changing out the HWH, that went fine. However, with the new HWH all the pressure it provided all...

Can a dip tube be repaced by a DIY or better off a plumber?

Could it be just a dip tube or do you think I am better off replacing the HWH itself?
Can a dip tube be replaced by a DIY or am I...

I will be replacing my HWH because it is that old and it is time to. Meanwhile, I do believe the HWH it is the cause for my low hot pressure by passing breakdown of sediments and causing a blockage...

Thanks for the advice, Now to decide whethere to pay the labor or tackle myself. I had a buddy offer his assistence so may go that route.

The HWH is over 8 years and probably somewhere around 10 years old. I am starting the think that it needs replaced because I if I am getting some residuals from the faucets now, those have to be...

Are you referring to the shower head itself?
It may have some blockage there, yes, but the low pressure is at all how water outlets.

Thanks for the reply.
I have city water.
I was getting some deposits showing up in the stains on the kitchen sink faucet a few months back so not sure what or where that was coming from.
It has...

Thanks for your post. I do appreciate your help and am sorry that I cannot provide with a better explanation on what is happening.
It is a Whirlpool furnace/a.c unit. It has not display on it that...

I am sure this has been posted and asked on here many many times but need some advice on this... We have been noticing lower pressure to our hot water faucets in our home over a period of the last...

I am have been noticing the past few days that my furnace is shorting in and out. When the thermostat kicks in, the heating element (I think that is the proper term) shorts in and out. The flame...
