Sounds like an intermittent drip just behind the wall. This wall is an outside wall. There is no water visible anywhere or anything out of the ordinary at all.

ok here's the problem... I live in a house that has had an addition put on - a building permit was properly opened...the house is in Putnam County NY..
the house passed the rough electrical inspection- although an elec. license was never shown, the house still passed - it's coming time for me to get the "CofO" and the final elec. inspection- if the house passed the rough without a license - what are the chances it will pass the final??? as a follow up to this question if the house passed the rough why would it not pass the final? some have told me that I will have to start over and get a licensed person to do all the work...

I'm using the top burners. I couldn't find any toggle switches that might have turned the gas off below (It's not getting gas) It appears to have just stopped working suddenly. There was no gas coming through to light the pilot light below. I believe the stove is about 8-9 years old. Any ideas?

i'm remodeling my bathroom and would like to change where the shower head is but it is in an outside corner of the house. the way it is now, the previous owners built an awful wall and ran the pipes up thru that but this makes the bath seem really cramped. we'd like to remove the wall and put in a glass corner shower but it means the pipes would move to the outside wall. would this be up to code? is there a reason not to do this? it doesn't really ever freeze where we are. thanks for the help...

i need to move some plumbing to another adjacent wall (and/or repair a leaky pipe) and was wondering if i should use copper pipe or galvanized since that is what's already there. i know how to solder silver, gold, and other soft metals, i've tried mixing metals before with some success but i remember a plumber telling me something about eventual corrosion at the joint when copper is matched to galvanized pipe. any plumbers out there? any good ones in houston?

I notice at Lowes the staff tend to be of a younger crowd and are far less experienced. They also seem to have a nasty attitude and don't know every much as well. In Home Depot the staff are of an older generation and when they tell you things it comes from their years of exp rather then something that came from a book. Home Depot also hires electricians, plumbers etc.... The staff are much more freindly and don't act cockey and upity.

My mother is 85 years old - she finally had a chance when she retired at 71 to enjoy a little bit of life and came down with cancer at 80. So far she's won the battle , and now things are starting to become too expensive for her. Their increasing her taxex 50%!! I would like to have a shower put in downstairs cause she's not able to climb stairs by herself. I found a place that I can get a grant for her but what they offer will only cover about half of the cost! I take care of all her medical, transportation, laundry, bookkeeping, yard work and small repair jobs- I'm not working - I don't have time keeping up two households. Please someone help me?

How does a tankless water heater work? Can it be used for multiple items at the same time? (ie. laundry, dishwashing, 2 showers). Do you install one unit that heats water to every appliance in the house? How long do they generally last? What should I expect cost-wise?
