My bathroom outlet will not tolerate a blow dryer, so the other day I opened up the breaker panel and discovered that the single pull breaker has two wires in it. Obviously this must be why any load trips the breaker. The breaker also controls the master bedroom, another bath, and a kitchen light. Well, last night,everything in the bedroom and one bath shut down. The other bath and kitchen were ok. No breakers were tripped and I didn't see any arcing or burns. No, I have not taken the breaker itself out yet but that is my next move. And for no apparent reason, the power came back on to those rooms and has been on since.I'm baffled. Any ideas?

I have a clawfoot bathtub, with a pipe that rises from the faucet to create the shower. I hate the showerhead it has, but I am having trouble finding a new showerhead that will fit the pipe. The pipe is smaller than standard showerhead sizes. Any suggestions on where or how I can get a showerhead to fit this small pipe.

Hi, I'm putting down laminate flooring throughout my house and was told i have to use the special laminate underlay. However my house has brand new underlay which was laid just before i moved in.

To me they both look very similar. To save me an arm and a leg, could i not just use the new underlay that's down as a backing for the laminate??

All skirtings are off.
Underlay goes all the way to the edge.
No issue with clearance for doors, etc.
