Jim,
Great article! My kitchen drain always seems hungry. I have a device to help keep that tub drain clean so you don’t need chemical drain cleaners.
I am putting in a larger window and discovered the kitchen drain vent going to the roof is in that wall. My question is can I cut this vent and then reroute it around the window in a u configuration and then tie it back into the ventpipe going to the roof?
This picture is gorgeous. I am using it to design my master bedrooms’ crown molding. I would love to know what two paint colors where used in this room?
This room is beautiful. Can you tell me where you got the flowers and who drew the tree. I love it.
Thanks!
Thanks
Don’t let excess food clogged in your drain,before washing the dishes make sure that excess food set aside and put in a trash so it will not cause problem
I have found Genesis 950 works amazingly well to clean concrete. There are some garages that buy it in 5 gallon cubes and keep it on hand to clean oil and grease from their floor. I mix it with water, let it soak on the stain for a while, and then use a pushbroom to scrub it into the stain. After this, I let it sit for a few more minutes, and the I spray it clean with a hose. Worked for the initial big stains, left it on longer to get the stuff that has been there for years. Now, I just use it anytime there is any grease or oil on the driveway. I also used it to clean my lawn mower
use blower side of a shop vac, larger hose works best put it tight into the bottom of toilet bowl then turn on
i found out from experience that my well pump was not set right and ran to often making my electric bill jump, most pumps are 220 volts, you have to be sure the pressure tank is set properly along with the hi-low pressure switch
I’ve been working in the roofing business for years. I like you site. Informative. I think this is an excellent starting point for those do-it-yourself.
This diagram was exactly what I needed to repair our doorbell – after sifting through dozens of useless tips and diagrams from other sites, this picture made the repair a piece of cake. Thank you.
My disposal is working but there are little bits of stuff remainung behind. It’s not cutting & disposing the little stuff. Any suggestions?
