I bought this to replace my 8,000 BTU window unit because I thought it would look nicer. Haier-12-000-BTU-Heat-and-Cool-Portable-Air-Conditioner-with-Dehumidifier-HPC12XHR I doesn't cool anywhere near as good as the window unit. I got it cheap because it didn't have the accessory kit, so I...

Has anyone experienced green water because of improper grounding of appliances? Or whole house? I have a client/landlord and their tenant is complaining of green water. It looks like copper. I know copper pipes corrode green inside, but usually this coating is stable. He installed an...

water has a green tint to it. Coming from all water sources hot and cold. We have run water for 15 minutes The tenants in the house have sent the water to the town health department for testing. It’s NJ and the tenant laws are killer. There is an electric instant water heater. I’m wondering...

I need 1 more inch of black pipe and I couldn't find the right combo of black pipe. So I settled on 2 pieces of galvanized. I read that the issue would be flaking. Can I get away with cleaning, wire brushing the inside? Raising the heater isn't an option because the vent pipe will be too high.

the burner is clean enough to eat off. Should I bother trying to find the stock thermocouple? Should I bother trying to replace the gas valve?

I replaced the thermo couple and lit pilot. On my old AO Smith (pre-lowes) water heater. Stayed on for a day, but went out. I was looking up the model number on the pictures I took and noticed the thermocouple I replaced had a crimp in the line.

Delta tech support said I need to be careful that the base of the spout is the same footprint. Also I need to use one with the same location set nut on the back. found the exact part I need at this site, but it is out of stock. I don't want to replace the fixture, just the trim. Well...

I called delta and they said the trim kit for this was discontinued. Their site shows the same part, but in polished chrome as part T2710 Selling the house, the whole bath is this trim and I'd like to keep it uniform. Does anyone have this part or know a supplier that has it. The other...

The pilots lit. It ran in the spring. We did a major renovation and now it wont fire. I blew the zone valve transformer jumping the terminals and I need to replace the thermal shutoff fuse. I haven't had zoned heating before, so I didn't know what to jump. I'm going to the orange store to...

Fast and Final spackle actually works. It dries like it's been sanded. I don't know how they did it, but it really does. No sanding, no priming. It just dries smooth and is virtually non-porous. It's definitely too expensive to use for anything but the finish coat.

I know this is yucky, but it works and is much tidier than using a sink. I discovered it while painting in a house where the only working water was a toilet. latex only. Swish the brush in the bowl water getting the bulk of the paint off. Flush holding the handle down longer than usual. Then...

I have Henry filler sealer and want to make a thicker crack patch. Anyone know how much sand I can mix in sealer to make crack filler?

So I bought this house and everything needs doing. I want to give the driveway a little love so the kids can scoot around without destroying their knees when they fall. The driveway has some spots where it is totally crumbling and other parts that are good band other parts that are like...

For some reason I just cannot wrap my head around this. Can I just buy a 30" sink base?

I have a matching color gerber round bowl and tank installed and got this elongated bowl free. Do I need to be wary of the 2" discharge ? Or can I compensate with better flushing mechanism?

I just bought a house and had to replace the paneling in the basement with sheet rock. I moved no studs and made no openings. We are about to have a framing inspection. The basement had a plastic folding door over the 30" opening for the boiler and the hot water heater opening is 24" with a...

So I am putting these cheap tiles down in my kitchen. It is very clear why they are so cheap. There is no quality control. One box will be all garbage and others 9 out of 10 seem good. I have more time than money right now. So I will just buy all they have at blue box and do quality...

I am thinking of installing these allen + roth multicolor cleft indoor/outdoor natural slate floor tile They look fantastic. But the first box I opened was pretty cruddy and crumbly material. Lots of chips, soft spots and the side of the stone tile looked kinda like layer filo dough. I...

I want to build wood radiator covers. There are beat up metal ones there. Replacing them they will still look kinda cruddy. I was thinking that the metal ones are curved inside and may throw heat better. What say you?
