Thanks! My son says he has a friend who is in plumbing and may have one. Why do companies make things that take "special" tools. Ugghhhh

I'm trying to remove a kitchen tap and having problems. Underneath the sink the waterlines and spray hose etc come out of the tap base but are all surrounded 3/4 of the way by a metal circular sheath (for lack of a better term) that is about an inch long. There is a nut way up inside of this...

Okay, DAP it is!! One more question, there is old white caulking left around the sides. What is the best way to remove it without scratching the surface? Can I use nailpolish remover? (Yes, I'm a woman.)

Hi, I'm new here and have a dampness problem in my crawl space. I have a 1.5 story house in British Columbia, Canada. When I bought it, it had the vents closed and a heater on full blast. It was dry but my hydro bill was huge. So, last year my son and I turned the heater off and insulated the...
