Hey Greenlight, can we get an image of a little more area, to include the configuration of aluminum there on the left?

VR4, Here is an option if you can't find an expert to help. Outdoor Rot-Wood based epoxy products to repair and resist wood rot. What caused the damage, should be looked into, to avoid further destruction.

Hello Greenlight, Here is a link that describes how to assess the condition of your wood. The penetrating epoxies are generally for the worst cases. If you find that you are treating structural members, you might consider it to be worst case. Outdoor Rot-Wood based epoxy products to repair...

Edlank, While rubbing elbows with the rich, who were not so famous, for a few years; I managed to see first hand what a reverse osmosis water treatment machine could achieve. Ocean water made drinkable right from the tap, and to my palate, much tasteier than Perrier. You might search out an...

Thanks Nestor, I'll try the dry cleaning.

Pearl White GT, A pale golden yellow will accent nicely, you don't want too bold a color with the moving picture machine on the wall. Nice layout btw. As big as Texas is, why is the fence so close to the house? Too many Bushes? Oh dear!

How do you keep the water warm for the time it takes the caulk to cure? Is it OK to caulk finger tips and toes so they won't wrinkle?

As Handyguys stated, a macerator system is used for the septic or waste lines while a sump pump will be used for water. If you combine the sump water to the septic, you run the risk of soggy leech beds caused by insufficient percolation and evaporation.

Stanigator, you might need 3 or 4 inches of water depth in order to run your diamond pump, without running it dry. Cavitation will occur when air is sucked into the impellers. That could cause over heating of the bearings, which I do not believe are thermally protected, as is the motor. As...

Cork was used as an insulation until the late 60's early 70's in industrial applications. Most often in refrigeration situations. To the best of my recollection, never more than 3" thick, unless large walk in coolers were being made. It seems as though the builder had access to, or knowledge...

It really makes the room appear longer, when it is white.

Looks like it was a badly finished foam insulation product. Too much foam was injected, resulting in the formation of the bubble, and the drips and runs on the siding were caused by carelessness, or sloppy craftsmanship. The bubble can be cut off clean, and you can try to remove the drips and...

If you can see that the bricks are crumbling, and the mortar will fall out when you scrape it with your fingernail, the useful life of the brick and that of the mortar have reached their limit. It is possible that that size brick is no longer made. The wet wood under the chimney is a result of...

Ya might try PL375.

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

Looks good! You might be able to stack red brick around it just leaving an inch or so air space so the brick won't get too hot and pop, to dress it up in the yard. Might want to try a good hot fire and not stand too close, I don't know how hot a brick can get before it will pop. As a planter...

Is the vibration coming from the furnace coil mounting? Could be a loose screw. Is is from the furnace motor? Could be a bearing going bad. Are the pipes insulated and hung tight? Might have a vibration from the coolant flow.

Hey numbersguy, It sounds like you got it in one! Since the sound of the pump gets louder when the water has been pumped out, yes you are dry pumping! That should not be a problem with this type of pump. As it is far better to have a little dry pumping rather than not enough pumping time and...

Magnolia44, If you do find it possible to insulate and re-stucco, Make sure the R value of the insulation will be high enough to warrant the cost of the work. I would think that in Denver, you would want at least an R-25 rating for your walls, to have an efficient living space, you would also...

Obajaj, You might be missing something with your system. I know little about how AC and heating systems interact, but I do remember having a house that had the AC coils mounted in the ductwork just above the heater. It was a heating system from the early 60's, with the AC retrofitted in the...
