    "Oily smell" coming from one hot water tap

    Thanks for the info. I hadn't really run much hot water through that faucet until recently so not a lot has run through that hot water pipe yet, I don't think. Given the size of that bathroom and the location of the fixtures and the new window that was installed I would guess that it was once...

    "Oily smell" coming from one hot water tap

    Okay now that I have hot water I've noticed that in one of the bathroom's the hot water coming out of the sink faucet has a faint "oily smell" to it (cold water is fine from all taps), sort of like there's WD-40 or something similar mixed in with the water. The shower in that room doesn't have...

    Water heater only putting out warm water

    I just did before you posted :) I went to go check the pilot light and checked the thermostat again before crawling down on the ground and noticed that. I'm amazed that thing was either able to heat water with it set that way or had enough warm water in there to last the last 2 weeks...

    Water heater only putting out warm water

    When I turned it the first time from the original Vacation setting I did feel a slight click but didn't hear that poof. I'll get down on the (dirt) ground tomorrow and see if I can see anything down there. Heh, given the quality of his other work that's actually not such a dumb thing to check.

    Water heater only putting out warm water

    How to remove this kitchen faucet?

    Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. I tried to take a better look inside the nut but didn't see anything that looked like I could unscrew in there so I just gave it another go with a socket but this time hooked up to a corded drill and that was able to break it free. What came out looks...

    How to remove this kitchen faucet?

    Great thanks for the confirmation that I do need to remove it (somehow). I'll keep soaking it with penetrating oil for a while and try it again later. I do have a corded drill as well I can hook up to the socket driver to try and remove it.

    How to remove this kitchen faucet?

    I'm trying to remove an old kitchen faucet that was never installed properly (it wobbles) and got stuck at this part (sorry about the bad picture, I only have a camera phone with me at the moment): I'm assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that I need to unscrew that very long nut to remove that...
