  I have had a GE Profile Bottom-Freezer refrigerator for about 2 years now. I've never had a
  single issue with it until recently. It seems like when the fan hits a certain speed it starts
  resonating. I...

  Well, it's not up to me to decide the gameplan the homeowner should follow. As long as he/she
  is fully aware of the benefits and consequences of each option open to them, then they can walk
  away from ...

  Thanks for all the suggestions. Would the easier and cheapest way be just to get another brass
  compression valve like the one that's one there (assuming it will probably fail, too, as the
  years go by)...

  Recently I was under my kitchen sink and discovered a pool of water under it. Upon further
  investigation I noticed a moderate drip on the cold-water valve. What was odd (to me, at least)
  was that turn...

• Posted in thread: Worth the Switch to Metal/Permanent Air Filter? on 12-24-2008 at 09:09 AM
  I have a 18x24x1 filter that I am thinking about replacing with a permanent filter. It seems
  like a no-brainer as it would seemingly pay for itself over time.Are there any drawbacks to
  metal-filters? ...

  My wife (Of all people) suggested capping off the tub-spout pipe and putting the old spout on
  just for looks. I am totally fine with this. How hard is it to cap off a copper pipe like that?

  Then maybe... the O-ring needs to be replaced? :)Yup, that's my next option. I popped it off
  this morning and will head to Lowe's to see if I can find a new one. If this doesn't work I
  don't know what...

  That adapter works with a specific brand of tub spout. It should unscrew just like the spout
  did, Then you can get the correct length pipe in there to hold the new spout in the correct
  positionI tried...

  Well, it didn't go as planned. I went out and bought a, "Universal" spout...but it wasn't very
  universal. The pipe that comes out of my wall has this collar-looking bulge around it with a
  rubber-ring ...

  Welcome Wallix:No, the spout is not necessarily shot. However, there should not be any water in
  the larger part of the spout behind the point where the shower diverter is lifted. InspectorD
  is correct...
