Water doesn't seem to be as hot as it should be unless I take a shower 15 minutes after a refill.

i'm guessing it's because the grass will get killed, or damaged

I was driving home from my mothers with a large turkey in the back of my car and it fell over, the bag it was sealed in broke and blood went all over the floor. It now smells like rotting yogurt in my car. I sprayed it with lysol and that sorta worked but it comes back after about 20 minutes. My uncle who is a hunter said to use peroxide to take it out however I was wonder if anyone else had other suggestions?

I just purchased two really nice Price Pfister shower mixers, heads, etc... for my bathroom remodel. Today I'm getting around to installing them and I have discovered that the model I have is the cast iron model with threaded connections. My hot and cold water lines are 1/2 copper. I see that Price Pfister makes this same mixer with copper connectors.

Can I use the models that I already purchased? Are there copper to cast iron adapters that can be put in place? Or do I have to return these and find copper models.

I'm led to believe that it doesn't matter since Price Pfister doesn't even put the fact that it's cast iron on the outside of the box.

Thanks to all plumbing gurus!

I just purchased a house built in 1930. It has plaster walls that are in good shape. I want to repaint them. Do I need to prime first? If so, can you recommend a primer. I'm not sure if the existing paint is oil based or latex. I will also be doing the woodwork which is not in as good shape. The paint is chipping. Do I have to scrape it all off or can I prime to seal the chipping?

Ok i've been cleaning the house for yrs, I'm a male, idk if that makes a difference, for the past four yrs I've been increasingly hesitant to clean up the others mess's, do laundry etc etc. I am a clean freak but i'm so f***ing tired of cleaning the same mess's, doing the same laundry over and over. I used to drink beer just to get started cleaning, its so hard to start when there never is a f***Ing end. NEways what are some suggestions, to motivate me clean this damn hellhole, right now i'd rather burn it to the f***ing ground than to look at it. it's not totally nasty, but it looks like it to a clean freak..I seen on tv where women would go buy meth to stay on top of chores. I dunno i just need some suggestions before I go commit arson.. serious answers plz..It's hard to clean with my son or wife here bcoz its a they don't care so why should I kinda thing..

Upstairs my vents are blowing heat like crazy. The floor is even warm where they are blowing! I go downstairs and they barely even blow, and it is crazy cold and I have no idea why. I have closed almost all the vents upstairs and it is still hot as heck because the vents downstairs just dont blow as good. The house is only a year old and only has one thermostat downstairs and it stays on forever and you can not stand to even be upstairs. I dont know if it matters but downstairs has 10 foot ceilings and upstairs has 8 foot. What could be wrong?

Victorian house. Previous owners blocked off chimney but did not leave any ventilation. Is that the cause of damp patch appearing at top of inside wall?
