    Special Light Switch Required

    I'm looking for a 3-way switch that uses the standard type mounting plate-- small rectangular hole toggle -- that will tell me when the circuit is ON.

    In-slab plumbing life?

    Is there anyone with experience with this subject? I'm curious because my sister bought a house about a year ago and had to have the plumbing completely replaced. It was galvanized and had disintegrated after 60 years of service. I know that construction practices over the years have used...

    Suing your Seller

    I’m probably asking to be flamed on this but it never ceases to amaze me all the people who buy houses(or cars – especially off EBay) and then want to sue the people for defects—OR the people that recommend suing the seller. Now, I can understand that if the seller maliciously hides something so...
