i need to move a gas line and just wanted to make sure since it looks different than the ones inside. i know these things don't get used very often, are there any seals or o-rings that might fall apart internally if i turn it off/on? gas scares the crap out of me, btw. :o EDIT: i guess it...

so i bought my 1st home a month ago, and the garage had been enclosed back in the 70's or so. obviously, that had to go. the total area is 19x26, and they had the front 6' made into a weird sort of storage room. the rest was a big room with 2 huge closets and the washer/dryer area all on the...

basically i need to eliminate a gas line in my garage, and the way it snakes through and around my foundation i would have to unscrew about 10 different fittings with almost no room to work. would it be safe to shut off the gas, drain the lines, wait a bit, then hacksaw through the pipe? i...

so i finally bought my first home last week and have a laundry list of things to do already. i'm really looking forward to it, i actually really like any kind of restoration job no matter what it's on. 28 year old single guy, foreman for a small lathe machine shop, raced cars/sportbikes on...

seems pretty straight forward, rip it out and replace it. but what do you do about the part that is under walls? just cut around it?

first post here, so forgive me if this is a rookie question, i'm learning as i go! i'm looking for my 1st home, and found one that is absolutely PERFECT for what i want, but it might need to be re-leveled. what should i look for as far as the condition of the foundation? the...
