    Hum from outdoor heat pump

    Hi, I've got a Trane XL13i - outdoor unit has a low electrical hum, even when the power is off, meaning even after tripping the electric breakers for the indoor furnace and the outdoor unit. The hum best mimics that of a fluorescent light tube hum; it's not real loud and the unit seems to...

    Hi All, Wife and I recently found our 9-year old Kohler bathroom faucet (K-16100-4a chrome plated) leaking out of the hot and cold stems (mostly out of the hot side). Anyone know of a "convenient" way to purchase new stems (cartridges) or have Kohler replace the valve stems without a...

    Plastic dust door

    Hi All, I'm reorganizing the shop and want to seal off two hallway areas to minimize dust from escaping the shop and drifting into the laundry area. I've thought of clear plastic sheeting; ideally, I am hoping/looking for something more permanent, professional, sturdy, and reliable that...

    Washing machine lines

    Where's the best place to purchase stainless steel braided washing machine lines (preferably 5-6') that do not have any safety valve such as the floodsafe valve; the floodsafe valve is ridiculous with restricting water flow. Thanks! Greg

    ball valve blew up

    Installed a new water heater yesterday and had an unbelievably slow leak coming from a brass ball valve/copper connection - cut out the offending valve and, for fun, tried resoldering it to see if any more solder could have been taken up. Nope! Solder kept melting and sliding off the pipe...

    bitter about contractor

    Anybody know any good contractors in Accokeek, MD (right on the Prince George's county/Charles county line)? A buddy of mine hired a "custom" remodeling firm (for premium $$$) to convert a half-bath to a full ADA bath and most everything they've done has been unprofessional, even the...

    Proper drain size

    Hi Gang, Just wanted to verify a couple things: 1. An ADA shower drain (or really any shower drain) needs to be 2" by code for most if not all areas, yes? (State of Maryland is my main concern). 2. Sanitary T is only meant to be installed vertically, not horizontally. Instead of...
