Thanks all for the information and help. Wife came home today and said she bought a new dryer. She just couldn't see putting money on one she couldn't trust and all that smoke.

thanks fireguy, I went down and looked at the Thermal Cut Out Fuse abd it seems to be burnt. I pulled the wiring clip right out with the wire on one lead. That clip seems to be a little melted. Will get another one and try that. BTW, how freely should the drum turn? Seems to me to be a...

Our dryer started blowing the breakers last week. Would run for about 10-15 minutes then blow the breakers. After researching possible causes I pulled the heating element and couldn't find any sign of a break or snag. Thought maybe I had weak breakers so I got two new 30amps and installed them...

92s, I south of Youngstown, sitting here in 75 degree temps and enjoying the heck out of it. Flowers are coming up already, grass in getting greener by the hour and going to do a little yard work before tearing back into the bath remodel. Khelper, that is the one area I wish we didn't have to...

All I could think was...what the H*ll did we get ourselves into!?! My wife and I were talking about that just last night. Recalling our first day in a foreclosed house we bought, sight inseen. Our relatives back here sent pictures, measurements and info to us over the computer and phone. We...

If I had to guest from the picture alone, I would say you have a small leak. Just enough to dampen the insulation and get the cieling moist.

Glad to see someone saving some cash on a DIY job. Times tough for everyone.

Suppose to be 60s and sunny here Sunday TX. Can't wait to go up to the park and look for all that lost change and jewelry. Have some old houses I know about from the 1800s I asked to hunt this winter. That sure slowed down winter quick.

I get the urge to go metal detecting in the parks looking for dropped coins and jewelry. After spending all winter inside its nice to get out and enjoy nature. I also like washing and waxing our 2007 Ford Edge of all the winter chemical and dirt.

Might want to call any laminate or cabinet shop about selling you a peice of their leftovers.

I would guess the toilet leaking or duct pipes cooling down like suggested. Both can make the banging sound andf at night when everything is quiet its more noticeable.

Been watching the ads on CraigsList and there are quite a few available. some have been relisted for months now. Not sure it will worth the time of tearing out the doorway, getting a few guys to help get it out and then trying ti sell it. After taking a look at how to get it out whole I am...

You may want to look at the laser type light at the bottom to make sure its aligned. I have that problem once after it somehow got bumped and out of alignment.

My wife and I are just starting a bath remodeling job also. Being its a 1920s house and we have kept all the red oak trim we staying with a earlier design. Pedestal stink and matching toilet is from the Pegasus Vicki collection. Very nice roman pillar style bases that might fit your man bath...

My wife and I talked about that. Just breaking it up and scraping it for iron. Get something for it that way but destroys the tub. Had a contractor that was interested in it but lost his home from the bad market, so can't use it now. Same thing with him, he'll remove it but will sell for scrap...

We have a 5' claw tub we would like to dispose of. I really wanted to sell it, but at 300 pounds, two flights of stairs and a 90 degree bend..no way. Its a 1920s, very thick, nice procleain and has lion style claws. Think some one would remove it for free?

Thanks for the advise and yes these are actual load bearing piers for a 1927 two story. I have a HD just down the street and their assortment is extensive. Thought I would just ask and see if there was any thing new out.

I am going to start pouring a couple of new concrete support piers in my basement pretty soon. I know where I want them, the sizes I need and how I want to go about arranging the forms. The one question I don't seem to find is which concrete makes the best piers and how long to let it set before...

Thanks for the suggestions joe. I already tried lifting the beam last spring. That when I noticed the cement giving way under the jacks and supports. I just left the 5" cast iron supports along with the 3 new ones. I was using 2 jack but 3 sounds better for that length to me. I know things...

We bought a 1927 two house a few years ago. We added an addition onto the back of the house to make the kitchen bigger. The kitchen was originally 6' x 8' and I was told the only way we could buy the house ( by the little lady) was make the kitchen larger. Well it is and its now 13'x15. We tore...
