My boiler is reading 10 psi and my top radiators are not getting filled. The feeder valve's lever is no longer, it seems to have broken off. I bought the house this way a few years back and each year the same problem on the top floor. I want to know what I have to do in order to get heat to the top without having to call someone in all the time. Also, I've been told there is an expansion tank somewhere that should be drained. Could that be causing my low pressure? Is that a must, the previous owner drywalled it into the ceiling somewhere?

Thanks,

TheOnyxGuy

I have very light brown stained (with polyurethane coating) hickory kitchen cabinets. I wanted to darken the stain a bit and was wondering if it is possible and how do I accomplish this?

Additionally, I read somewhere that hickory cabinets can't be stained so am confused completely.

We own a home that our master bedroom and master bath is above our garage. I looked up in the back of our garage and noticed the dry wall wet. "not soaked". I traced it to our bathtub/shower. i toar out the insulation that was wet, then i sealed all of the conecting points on all of the pipes. It stayed dry for 3 days and yet again now it is damp in that area again. It seems to dry up a couple of days. would mold be a factor with the insulation, and anyone would know a trick to fix this.

i need some advice on how to fix leaky windows - and the water is dripping from the INSIDE of the window.

my mom who is also my landlord refues to fix the problem because she cant afford it, sooo. um yea.. is there anything i can do to make it not leak rather then replacing them? i've already tried caulking the inside and out.. its been doing this for months, and i do the caulking once every couple of weeks, maybe more.

is there a do it yourself way of doing this? maybe even just to hold off until next spring?
