Any ideas what's causing this? I've checked the main wiring and another shower unit of exactly the same make and model and the same thing happens. Is this "normal" or is there something else causing this phenomenon? Any advice or suggestions welcome...

Is there anything like an alarm or something that no one can open my closet?

I have this deep fear of getting dirty, it's weird. My closet has two stacks of clothes. One stack consists only of the clothes I wear to bed and the other stack has all my other clothes. When I go out, I'm not afraid of getting dirty. However, I want to keep my bed clothes and my other clothes "seperate". Like when I'm wearing one of my other clothes, I do all I can to not let it touch my bed clothes. It's weird. I take a bath before I go to bed and I wash THOROUGHLY (1 hour bath), and I expect my body to be clean. Then I wear my bed clothes so that my bedroom is clean. My parents are complaining about this. Any advice? :D

I would like to take old corn crib and convert it to cottage, by removing inner walls. What do I have to do to make sure that the roof does not cave in or how do I beef up the rafters (not buy them), Also is there a good web site to see pictures or drawings. Do I need to beef up the base? It was built in 1950s. HxWxD 12 plus roof by 28 by 32. Roof is probabbly another 10 to12 ft.

We purchased a home last year. It was built in 1926. The inspector said that the planed doors and minor cracks in the plaster were from normal settling. However, the upstairs floors are slanting away on all sides from the brick that forms the centrally located fireplace. It is very noticable. Plus, the two doors closest to the fireplace wall won't close because they appear to need another 3/4 in planed away, on top of the 1/2 inch that's gone already. Also, after some work on the sewer line, the contractor stated that there are no footers. They just leveled the ground and started laying brick. The basement is panelled and I don't have complete access to the brick to check for cracks. Where I have checked, there are none. Wondering what others thought.

I've tried cutting glass with the old hardware-store-variety glass cutting tool years ago with little success. Bad tool? No experience? I don't know. Now I have an old 1920s house and a number of spare old wavy glass panes and would like to cut these to fit. Is it hopeless or is there a tool, like a new variety, that would work? Thanks!

The pressure has kept getting higher until now it pegs out the low pressure gauge and is venting through pop-off valve.
Even with the adjusting screw all the way out.

Can I disassemble and clean something to get it working right again?
Is there anything that is safe to lubricate the "innards" on a oxygen regulator?

Burpees Big Boy was asked for last year. Thought I had enough, didn't. Good tomato but there are others. As a homeowner what kind would you buy for your garden area?

Would anyone want tropical drift wood? I have lots of lovely drift wood, literally hundreds of pieces about the size of a football or larger. Any ideas what to do with it?

I have heard there is something I can add to the wash but I can't remember what it is. It was something like methylated spirits. Can anyone help me

would it be a safe, load-bearing wall? I saw a house once that was stone but it looked like it was more throw-together than most stone houses. I was just wondering if someone could build a decent wall without "fitting" stone together.

The laundry drain gurgles when i drain the bathtub and the bathroom sink gets an odor of sewer gas. Also when i drain the kitchen sink, which is a double basin model, the waste water rises up into the other basin about 1/2 inch above drain before draining out. I don't see any vent pipes inside or any vents on roof. No Studor type vents either. All plumbing fixtures are on main floor within 15' radius. My property is rural and sewer system is an underground holding tank with above ground pump-out/ejector system. I'm not worried about "code" at this point as I am looking for answers/suggestions. I will deal with "code" in our area before I begin the work. Your help is appreciated... Thank you.
