Finishing my basement. Regardless of whether I put carpet or
engineered hardwood, I don't want the flooring to be ruined (or be a
bed for mold growth) if the water heater decides to go, which will
eventually happen (10 years old now).  I've heard horror stories of

I am renovating my bathroom.I want to move my bathtub about 6 feet out
from the wall. My intention is to just tie the new drain into the old
line where it ties into the main stack draining down into the
basement. Is there a problem with this?I also want to build a seperate

I have a Kenmore (discovered it was made by Frigidaire when I googled Model
#).  The red light came on for filter, and the water comes out slower.
When you open up the fridge door, it's on the upper right.  You press a

What is the operating temperature range for a heat pump?  Mainly the low

 Is there any reason for this other than plain greed and price ...

Will they withstand the vibration, or should I continue using regular
bulbs in the fan light? I've never found the specialized fan bulbs to
be worth it.
Thanks for advice.

Phase I of my home remodel has demonstrated that the contractor is
completely incompetant and difficult to work with.  At this point, I'd
like to somehow "nullify" the contract and get my money back, minus a
fair amount to cover what's been done so far.  Per the contract, we're

There is an area of dark gray dirt film on the wall over an 8'
electric baseboard heater in my dining room. Was this caused by the
heating unit? How? It doesn't burn carbon.

I haven't used my pool heat pump in a few months and when I recently turned
it on I am getting a Low H2O error message and it is not starting up.
Usually that message is displayed when the pool pump is off but now I see it
