We have been asked to help renovate some church pews that are upholsterd back and seat. The padding seems to be fine. The edges of the material is glued and stapled. The ends of the seats do not touch the ground so for looks only. Do we remove the top molding to start and if so what would be the best way? Also, any idea on a cost?

Have a new house and was wondering if anyone has sprayed interior walls and ceiling with a Wagner Paint Crew? My house is around 2000 sq ft and was thinking about spraying vs rolling to save time.

A friend of ours is having an issue with their electric hot water tank.

Yesterday they noticed a steady stream of water coming from behind the covering of the top thermostat. When I got there, I removed the electric door over the top thermostat and noticed a steady spray coming from behind the upper thermostat itself. It almost appears to be coming from the element (or through the element washer). The area around it is rusted, however the rust doesn't appear to break the surface of the tank.

My knowledge of hot water tanks is limited (especially with electric ones) however, I'm pretty handy with plumbing as I worked for a contractor for a year or so and did some plumbing.

So my question is: Is this a project that can be done without calling a professional? How easy is it to replace the element or element washer? What is involved with removing the lid of the tank?

**I've asked this question before, but now I have a lil more knowledge on the actual problem and detail*
