Does the igniter glow? Are there any diagnostic indicators on your unit (a flashing light, etc.)? There are a few things that can cause your "failure to ignite". The combustion fan switch and Hot...

I'm planning to bid on a job that requires the removal of an existing non-skid coating that was applied without priming the substrate first. The sub is plywood and the coating has probably less than...

Well now... You know you shouldn't violate your Probation or Parole but life goes on, huh?
The level of your "control" (unsupervised summary probation for a misdemeanor or supervised felony...

What kind of flooring is it? I assume there is no threshold at the doorway. Regardless, you want to make your cut at the bottom of the door (and the frame if needed).
Is it a prehung hollow core...

Does anyone know of any organization(s) in Los Angeles county that might be able to help my neighbor with the cost of installing an ADA rated wheelchair ramp? He lives in a mobile home and was...

What can I do short of calling...

I have a new Aqualink RS4 Main Power Center PCB and a used RS8 PCB for sale on Ebay and having listed them as a "lot" I'm concerned that the boards might not be interchangeable. Both PCB's are 6474...

I have a bayonet that I believe dates from world war one. It has a maker's mark of C.G Haenel Suhl. It has a leather scabbard and frog. The blade is 20-5/8" long and the handle is 5-1/4" long. I...

Hi there... plumbing can get pretty frustrating, huh? Many times with tubs and showers, the only way to repair a leak (causing the least amount of damage or repairs) involves accessing the water...
-
It's possible that you might have some "old" stuff stuck in your sink traps. Try pouring some undiluted bleach into each drain and let it sit for 1/2 hour or so before you run fresh hot water down...

Thank you for your comments JudyKayTee. You're right... I don't know if John was under the influence while he was driving for work or not. I'm not an expert in these matters but from the standpoint...

In most cases, noises that occur when a faucet is turned on or a toilet is flushed are caused by air in the pipes. Often, when the air "bubble" slams through the pipe, any part of the pipe that is...

That really sucks. When that happens (assuming it's the first time), does it really mean the end? Nobody's perfect. EVERYONE makes mistakes. It wasn't like you were under the influence while you...

If you replace the "flapper" valve in your tank the system should work more efficiently without the "slurping" sound and the necessisity for adding water to the tank.

If one (and only the "court" can decide) violates the conditions of one's probation, only the court can mandate a sentence. A P.O. can only make a recommendation. One's P.O. only initiates the...

Three inches should be good.

Yes... the type of construction (wood frame, masonry, etc.) makes a big difference. Here in Southern California the cost for a wooden frame residence starts at about $80 per square foot.
-
You may have an easier time by modifying the width of the existing structure to add additional square footage on the first and second floors... rather than increasing the height by adding a third...

Your question is kind of vague. Do you mean "can I install a maintenance free deck directly on top of a cracked concrete slab"?
-
When it comes to skunks... if you want to try discouraging them from coming around your home you need to eliminate the reason(s) they do. The basic philosophy for controlling pests (almost any type)...
-
Centipedes are normally controlled by using the same general insecticides that are used to control ants, spiders and most common household pests. The treatment you have gotten to control the other...

Whoops... I forgot insert the web site. Here it is:
What's That Bug?

It would give you an advantage if you knew what species of ant you're dealing with. You might check out this web site... if you can identify the kind of critters you're having trouble with we may be...

I would guess that the most effective (and probably the most economical) remedy is to dig a perimeter footing at, and at least partially, under the edge where the erosion is occurring and pouring a...

You might try finding your mystery bug by visiting this web site:

Good luck.

The general principles of pest control are: Seek out the source of the infestation, deny the pest(s) forage (food to maintain their colony/nest) and harborage (a place to live that is usually...
-
You may be able to avoid breaking up the existing slab by cutting slots or grooves into the surface of the existing concrete (thereby providing a porous/scarified base) and "floating" the new...
-
The best way to remove existing concrete is by breaking it up into pieces that can be removed (small pieces... by hand... larger pieces by hydraulic methods [dozer, backhoe, etc.]). When you are...
-
First things first... if you've discovered termite damage at all... the most important thing to address before you make repairs is the infestation. You certainly don't want to "feed" those critters...

There isn't really any significant difference between oil based and water based primers and paints these days. Over the last ten or so years (I really am guessing here about the time), increased...

Well... depending on the extent of the damage... you may find a way to shore up the lower end of the structure. Chances are pretty good that you'll only be slowing the deterioration so that you can...

It sounds like you live in a pretty wet place. The fundamental solution to the standing water in your yard is to repair the grade (slope of the terrain) and provide a slope, drain or swale that...

Letmetellu's suggestion is a good one but... depending on where you live and the municipal codes that apply for construction in your area... Normally (well "normal" for Southern California... a place...
-
First... is the home new? Are you the original buyer? You may be able to seek a remedy from the developer/builder, if so. If your home is in a new home development community... there's a good...

Yes... The standard rule for header sizes is... 4X4 for a 4' opening... 4X6 for a 6' opening... etc.
The reason I recommended a 4X8 is the "load bearing" part. I always tend to lean towards...
-
Tear out a wider rough opening and install a continuos header from each side. A two car garage is usually 16' wide. The header will probably need to be a 4X14 beam.
-
oops... if the existing wall is framed with 2X6's... you'll probably have to use a 6X6 header instead of a 4X8.
