If one has a water drain line from the house out to the street that has a leak in it, isn't there a way to put in a pipe liner on the inside of the pipe so the pipe itself doesn't have to be replaced? I know an elderly person that could use a service like this so I'm looking for more...

Anybody here using Geothermal Heating and Cooling? I've been reading up on this and it makes a lot of sense when you consider it uses around 25% of the power a regular HVAC system uses to pay for itself in 7 to 10 years they claim, and I heard the feds are giving 30% tax brake which makes it a...

So, doesn't the Buyer have the right to get copies of closing docs signed by both Buyer and Seller? Especially the Settlement Statement that shows who was paid when the sale funded, signed by the signed by the Settlement Agent and dated? In my case there was a lien holder getting a big chunk...

If one were buying a home some where in the great state of Texas, and they did not want their name on public records, could this be done as a Sole Proprietor? I've been doing some reading on how to have privacy when you own a home and I found that investors like to use an LLC if it's rental...

So, what if you had a home and the wooden privacy fence around the backyard has the nice looking flat side facing the neighbor's yard and the side facing your backyard is the side where the fence posts are exposed along with the horizontal boards that go from post to post... How would you go...

So, they say mobile homes are a little less safe than brick homes built on a slab when it comes to withstanding high winds such as a tornado passing near by (I know, a tornado could take out a brick home if hit directly) Since double wide mobile homes are pretty nice these days, it seems more...

Hi guys, Just curious is the resident experts on the board here could point me in the right direction concerning a project I'm working on... I'm needing to use a routing with a Rabbet Router Bit to enlarge an existing hole by 22.2 mm in overall width and 1/2 inch in depth. I would use a...

Does anybody know if there is a kit for wood to go around a metal shelf to make it appear to be a cabinet? I like the Tier Adjustable Metal Storage Shelves like they sell on Amazon (and other places) because they are inexpensive and very sturdy So, rather than building a cabinet, I was...

The washer and dryer I've been using is Whirlpool. Bought both together back in 2004 and both still work fine except for the dryer doesn't go off when the door is opened anymore. Probably the switch on the door needs to be replaced. So, just curious if anyone would have a better suggestion...
