I have a small electric current coming into my pool light, just enough to feel like a 9 volt battery on your tongue. this occurs even when all power is shut down at the breaker box. Could this be from a tree touching a power line and grounding the current which my pool grounds maybe picking up? or maybe a neighbor grounding a wire with current in it..these wires are all insulated ...what do you think?

I just installed a new tub surround and ran a bead of caulk around everything that I needed to. It was smoothed and allowed to dry. I have noticed that in a few places the caulk as receeded into where the two walls meet and I don't want water collecting there. Can new caulk be laid over this other "new" caulk from yesterday in order to fill in these "gaps"?
Thanks!

half a bucket of hot water, to wash your tiles.

I am seriously interested in an investment property. I toured it yesterday and it is great except in the basement(dirt). The steel poles that support the underside are decayed and loose at the bottom. There is a jack contraption attached to one corner. Is this a dangerous situation and very costly to fix?

These are older stains now! I've tried all sorts of remedies on them. He started to do it when he was younger when i went out to work so when i'd get home they had already stained the carpet. Luckily he had stopped it now but although baking soda has sort of got rid of the smell i cant yet rid of the yellow stains on the carpet, i've tried everything. Please can someone help? Thanks.

If the water in my new house's faucets is not hot enough for my liking, is there anything I can do? Do I need to adjust something on the water heater or in the faucet itself? Is this hard to do?
