Have quite a few videos of quality of work, since I'm out in the field with a video camera anyway. Never knew what was "normal", "quality" or to code until I started visiting this site (and finally downloaded the IPC, which is used in my area). To stay out of potential hot water, I'll just post...

I contend that this corrosion happened because there was a metal washer on the inside of the tank between the brass bolt head and the rubber washer. It was rusted on the inside and out. It never fails that when I see the corrosion on the outside of the tank, that there is a metal washer inside...

Complete noob question here. I searched Amazon and other publishing companies, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer. Does anyone know if the IPC can be purchased in digital format? Such as PDF, or on CD somehow? Makes no sense to still be using paper when one can do instantaneous...

Has anyone had any experience with swapping out a slide in cooking range with a free standing one? I wasn't sure how difficult/easy it would be to modify the cabinetry (typically) so that a free standing range would go in its place. Any ideas? The slide in's are just so dang expen$ive...

I have a new issue with water draining in a kitchen sink. It has an Emerson 1/3 horse garbage disposal and an attached dishwasher. Both sides of the sink fills up with water and takes a long time to drain. Turning on the disposal has no effect. Also, the dishwasher is backing up as well. No...

Hi: I'm trying to help my mom fix an issue with her washing machine. She was telling me that she sees water on the floor after washing clothes. I asked her to keep an eye on it and give me more details. She said today that when the washer is in the drain cycle, she sees the water is coming...
