    Partitioning L-shaped room. Should I move a register?

    Currently I have 2 bedrooms on my 2nd floor that open straight off the stairway. One of them is L-shaped. I am partitioning that bedroom into a smaller square bedroom.

    Should a 2-3 year old disposal be this rusty already?

    This is an Insinkerator Badger 5 mfg in 2019. I pulled this to redo my kitchen sink fixture drain and noticed how rusty it already is. Is this normal?

I am installing a new ducted hood and would like to use the old cap.* It's at most a 5' run of duct total, but if I used rigid I...

    How to seal up / decommission old well piping coming into crawl space

    Forgive me if this is a stupid question. I'm a city boy and have never even seen well equipment before moving to this house. My house used to have a well (who knows how long ago), but is now on city water. I have had the last remnants of the well equipment removed and disconnected from my...

    Water heater replacement, repipe, bathroom reno questions

    I am planning to put in a Rheem hybrid. I'm also going to reno the farthest bathroom from the heater (70'-80' run) within the next year & take that opportunity to repipe since a lot of the copper is corroded. Right now there are 3 full baths, and I am planning to add another in 5-10 years for a...
