Trying to install a hot tub. The circuit board on the actual hot tub has two hot poles and a ground bar, but no place for a neutral. Is this correct? Could there really be no need for a neutral?

In plumbing, when using compression joints I've always been told that copper olives are best as they provide a better seal. But nearly all plumbing stores only sell brass olives. What is best?

We moved into our apartment and it had fleas in it (we think, because my ankles have been eaten alive) and so I started wearing socks and pants and keeping my baby off the floor, and we hadn't been bitten in weeks but just today I have been bitten twice and my baby has been bitten once. I know that flea life lasts 2 weeks? I thought maybe if they didn't eat anything they would just die off since the females need a blood meal to lay eggs. Spraying is hard with an infant, especially with it being winter and having to vent the place out afterwards, not to mention that you have to be away from the home for a number of hours. Any alternatives to solve our problem?

Not sure whether to buy a 12, 24, or 36 tooth TCT blade (I'm using a hobbiest table saw so the blade diameters are a lot smaller than normal, thus the lower tooth numbers compared to a 10" blade)

My stupid contractor painted my wooden window frame and my door frame with primer. I didn’t think I would have to tell the project manager not to paint the wooden sections!

I know that I can use a masonary bit for smaller holes, but need 11/8" for the shower fixtures. Is there a hole saw that I can get for this size?

I have checked that the blade is square to the table surface and I cannot see any wobble. I cleaned and lubricated all moving parts also. it burns no matter if i am ripping or cross cutting?? I have also tried 3 new blades.

The water shutoff valvue has a slow leak where the hose connects. Its right were the hose to the tank connects to the shutoff valve.....I also noticed when I close the shut off valve it doesnt stop the water completely. Does the whole setup need to be replaced, and if so, is it difficult? Or will just replacing the hose correct the leak?

I figured the constant running wasnt a huge deal if there was no leak because you leave the water on anyways, so there is always constant water pressure there.

I have a valliant combi boiler, which seems to kick into action when i need hot water, but the heating isn't working at all. I have a switchmaster dial next to the boiler which allows me to specify when the heating should come on and go off but this seems to have no effect, even if I change the setting to constant. Any suggestions good people of the UK. I'm freezing my **** off :-( and I am worried in case it freezes and the pipes burst.

The radiators don't need bleeding and dont' heat up at all. Could this be an electrical problem rather than my boiler being knackered?
