When I brew tea, the water from my teapot is scummy. I've put the teapot in the dishwasher and I've scrubbed it, but it's still pretty disgusting.

Other than calling an electrician in, I need your help in resolving this.I am trying to pull CAT5e cable myself with the help of relatives.
Need to know the rules in measuring the length of cable required from a basement to the 2nd floor.
I can't recall what the mathematical estimation is to figure this out.
Ex., let's say you have Room A with dimension L (A) x W (A), and Room B with dimensions L(B) x W (B), and distance between each floor is 10 feet.
I want to be able to move the cable around anywhere in the perimeter of ONLY Room B. Room A is fixed, where cable will start the run.
How much cable will be needed to run from Room A to Room B (anywhere within)?I would like to have a 25% growth for cable plus any loop arounds - like going around vent systems, crossing over other electrical wires.
I think there was a formula (which i can't remember) where you take the perimeter of the room, multiply it by 25%, then add the # of feet per each floor for the vertical runs. Can u pls help?

My husband is a cop, and he sweats ALOT. His bullet proof vest needs to be washed almost every day or else you can smell it just by standing next to him. So he DOES wash it every day but is annoyed with having to do so. He has tried febreeze, and that doesnt last. Its not so much his arm pits that are sweating, just his whole body in general. They have to wear alot of clothing- so Its really hot. Any ideas??

Sounds like an intermittent drip just behind the wall. This wall is an outside wall. There is no water visible anywhere or anything out of the ordinary at all.

ok here's the problem... I live in a house that has had an addition put on - a building permit was properly opened...the house is in Putnam County NY..
the house passed the rough electrical inspection- although an elec. license was never shown, the house still passed - it's coming time for me to get the "CofO" and the final elec. inspection- if the house passed the rough without a license - what are the chances it will pass the final??? as a follow up to this question if the house passed the rough why would it not pass the final? some have told me that I will have to start over and get a licensed person to do all the work...

I'm using the top burners. I couldn't find any toggle switches that might have turned the gas off below (It's not getting gas) It appears to have just stopped working suddenly. There was no gas coming through to light the pilot light below. I believe the stove is about 8-9 years old. Any ideas?
