We are considering finishing our basement. There is a window that we would like to include in a room, however it is right next to our boiler. I can’t see how we can put a wall to the right of this window. I feel that it would be in the way whenever we would need the boiler serviced. Any...

Does anyone know where I can find a 3 combination switch with one of the switches being a 3 way? Trying to replace the attached switch. Leviton does not make one with a 3 way.

I am in the process of replacing all the old outlets and switches in my house. Each bedroom has 4 outlets with a switch. All the outlets were half hot. My intention is to only keep a couple outlets in each room that way. However I have changed out an entire room with new outlets and switch. I...

We are looking to make some changes to our fireplace. There are about 8 protruding bricks sticking out that were used to hold the mantel. I'd like to cut these off to make the fireplace flush. I've attached a couple pictures. What is the best way to do this? Grinder? Chisel? Any advice is...
