The website that comes the closest to what you describe is a home search, I believe, is restricted to only homes in Texas. But it only filters by details on the...

The project is a long lasting custom chair mat that will be used on carpet flooring. My concern is condensation underneath.

The plan is to float laminate tile on OSB with edge molding.

They seem to be the same size, but okay, I won't. You might have something there and I'm sure you know better than I. Better safe than sorry. Thank you for your reply!

Yes, I believe it is. The wires from the GFCI are twisted with the wires in the circuit box. I like the added length, so I guess I'll cut these wires at the existing GFCI box to retain the added...

Thank you very much for your reply. And I appreciate your concern.
Both the old and the new box are very clearly labeled and I read the instructions that came with the new GFCI. I know exactly how...

Appears to be the original GFCI when house was built in '84. The wires just seem to come out of the box. There are no screws holding the wires. I think I have to cut the wires to replace / update...

I've had an ongoing battle for two years with the roots left over from removing a crêpe myrtle. In removing the tree, I removed the main root underneath it. But the outlying roots keep sprouting.

Hello, Clough. I had forgotten about my question here. Thank you for answering it.
The heat gun is a great suggestion, but I fear it would have warped the very thin walls of the hull. However, I...

This past weekend, I used both Lime-a-Way and CLR in my water heater for the second year in a row with no adverse effects. After both times, the water is...

Hello, Tom.
I had already read your procedure on flushing a water heater. I've read and reread the responses and could not find a 'yea' or 'nay' to the question of using chemicals during the...

I think this guy must have found his calling. Not only has he not responded, he's not logged in since March 29th.

UPDATE

It's funny how one simple job can open up so many others.

FIRST PART -
While preparing for the job, I turned the water off and on at the main. This popped a bad glue joint from a...

Yes, a couple of years ago, I used about a pint of CLR, but I don't think I let it work long enough. Nor did I probably flush it enough with the incoming cold water.

Yes, I believe the tank to be...

My apologies, Tom. I should have stated what I have already tried.

I've already tried simply draining the tank. It can be done after I manually loosen the crud by poking a wire in the drain...

Just about anything you enjoy could be considered a hobby. If that stumps you, try searching for 'hobby' or 'hobbies' on the internet. Don't settle for...

Depending on where you live, model rocketry may be an option. It's one of those hobbies where you can spend relatively little to very much. During the off season or during bad flying weather, new...
