I recently installed a bunch of receptacles in my attic. They are in a dedicated circuit controlled by an Arc Fault breaker in the service panel. I tested every single outlet with a receptacle circuit analyzer and it shows they are all installed correctly. But whenever I plug in a lamp or a fan, the moment I turn it on the breaker trips. Bad breaker? Help please..

The pressure of water in my upstairs shower is really low, and I want to improve it. The shower head is (just about) the recommended 1 metre below the level of the cold water tank. I don't know how to tell whether my system is "gravity-fed" or not, and whether fitting a shower booster pump is feasible. Grateful for any advice.

Our year is a mix of areas that are grass, significantly weeds, and just dirt - so should we put down weed killer first? Should we throw down seed now (before winter), or in the spring? We're all for the easiest/least work option that will work out sufficiently

I had the water supply ran when the house was built a couple of months ago. Now I am ready to put an icemaker in my freezer. I am pretty handy, did a lot of building my own home, installed all the ceiling fans and the garbage disposal myself, is this something I should be able to do or do I need to call a pro?

I want to rip up the old linoleum in my bathroom and install some tile. The previous owners laid the current layer of linoleum on top of the original linoleum. From the little bit I've peeled up to look underneath it looks like chip board underneath that. Does that mean I need to lay some kind of backerboard underneath the tile? I also plan on tearing out the curent cabinets and installing new ones. Should I install the tile or the cabinets first?

My electric shower was overheating the wires from the mains switch (the rope thingy) to the shower. What does this mean? Was the wire too small to take the load? The shower had some heat damage when we moved in (plastic had melted on the side of the shower unit) so we are going to repleac it anyway i just want to make sure we don't still have the same problem with a new shower. i intend to replace the wire with a larger one too.
