Bought an old house. Water comes from a well under a concrete patio. We can access through a metal grate. Old farm area and don't know if well is shallow or deep. We have water softner equipment, but don't drink it anyhow. Wash clothes, operate toilet, and shower with water which normally is clear. But rain makes it turn light yellow.

Also my wife says I shouldn't have used Scot's weed & feed for nitrates could get in water, but I don't think so and doesn't make water turn yellow?

The burners all work but the oven does not. There is power to the knob that you use to turn the oven on and adjust the temp ( my husband found out when he tried to take it apart and got zapped) I don't think the gas is even flowing to the oven when you "turn it on" you can't smell any. The breaker is on. It's a Whirpool drop on stove that is only a year old. My husband has looked for a pilot light and can't find one. Any help would be great.

Our diswasher quit draining. It didn't appear to be gradual. I tried blowing out the hose that leads to the garbage disposal. Is there a pump that drains the water? Or possibly a clog inside somewhere? Any serious answers would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all,
I just moved and the washing machine that the seller left me is not working right (there is very little water flow). It's not the washer, we tried with our old washer. So I had a plumber look at it and he says my pipes are not connected right and that it is not up to code. The pipes are also connected to a small unpermitted bathroom and he says that is one of the reasons why it isn't working (supposed to go thru the wall). Question is: can I fix this myself? And how? The plumber is asking for at least $600 and I don't have any money; the insurance won't cover it either because it is something that was done by the seller.
Also, do you know how much it would cost to re-pipe a small house? The plumber also said that my pipes are galvanized and we would need copper plumbing so there are no calcium deposits. I don't know if he just wants to take advantage of my ignorance. He quoted me about $4300 (that would include the piping problem with the washer). The house is about 900 sqft

We purchased this costly thing in hopes of the never ending hot water (which it does in fact do) however, we vented it thru the existing vent from the old 50 gallon tank which bends and exits thru the side of our house. If anything else is used (i.e the sink, dishwasher) the tankless pilot goes out. My husband thinks it's because it needs vented out thru the roof for better air circulation, what tips do you all have?
This thing is a god send, and was extremely pricey so we don't want to have to admit we went WAY abouve our means by installing it ourself so if this is a quick fix we want to try it before admitting defeat. Serious responses only.
Thanks...

I have a storage building that is regular wood construction with vinyl siding and a peaked metal roof. It sits directly on concrete blocks and has a plywood floor. The floor is about 10 inches from the dirt beneath the building, and as far as I can tell, the wood does not touch the soil anywhere (it might somewhere; hard to see the whole underside)

Yet there's always a wet spot on the plywood, not adjacent to the wall, when it rains and even for a while afterwards. The roof is not leaking, at least water is not coming through the ceiling or down the wall - and the soil under the building is bone dry!

Any idea how the floor is probably getting wet? Can water "wick" along the 2x4's to the lowest point of the floor? (the floor is uneven and this is the lowest point) And, any idea how to find out and fix this problem? I want to carpet and furnish in there, but until this problem is solved I'm stuck.

Thanks for any ideas.

We are building our house and think that the vinyl siding looks like it wasnt done right. There are nails in the siding at the bottom of the piece of vinyl. Its only on the first 2 rows towards the top, but not the vary top. It'svery noticeable and now some parts are starting to fall off! Does this sound right?
