I put in a new bath room with a double sink and the pressure in the first sink cold water and hot water is fine but the second sink it is about 9 feet away from the hot water tank and the hot water will not work. when you first turn it on it comes out fast but then it goes down to a small small stream. By the way I am on a well system and the well is about 50 feet away. When I put in the new bath I redid the piping. I used 3/4″ copper pipe and 1/2″ off of the 3/4 pipe to give me more pressure , I have been told that I have a pressure problem How can I correct this problem.

Is there a way of converting PE pipe to cpvc pipe without having to change the whole system. I am remodelling a kitchen in a double wide and polyethylene is the worst type of pipe around. Its an older model home and I want to change at least some of the PE lines into cpvc and hopefully someday I can change the rest but some of the pipes are well hiden under insulation and it will be too time consuming and costly to do all of it right now. Is there any fittings that will do the trick. Home Depot and Lowes sell brass compression fittings but they really dont work all that well with PE. They are intended for pex, copper, and cpvc. I could use them maybe but I just wonder if there is a better alternative. If you dont know what PE is, then please dont bother giving me any advice. I want answers from someone who knows what they are talking about. Sorry if that sounded rude, but I dont want someone telling me that doesnt know what they are talking about. Thanks in advance.

While my husband was deployed in 07-08, My 2 1/2 year old climbed the baby gate to the bathroom, climbed up the heater to the window seal and got an un-opened box of hair dye. She then took it to her 18 month old brothers room opened it and after smelling it gave it to my son. I heard the coughing and went back there, I screamed when I was what had happened, thank god my besstie was here we called the ambulance and went to the hospital, my baby boy was in ICU for 3 days and they were going to send my husband home from Iraq (we decided to wait till leave, son was ok keeping him there was just a precaution). Anyways my bestie kept my daughter and I stayed at the hospital till he was released. When I came home I was horrified to see that the bottle of dye had seeped through the rug INTO the floor, We have tried for a year to get it up, but its not budging. I’m e-roding in 29 days and have my inspection coming up, OMG. We have been in this apartment for 2 1/2 years and I know at 3 years they re-paint walls and redo the floors, (in other words after each family). I just wanted to know since 2 1/2 years is not 3, what are our chances of being landed with the bill to redo that floor?
We are in Germany which means we’d have to pay euro and from past people who messed the floors up who were only here a year I know each 3ft by 4ft tile cost 600 euro to replace. It’s only one tile but man thats a lot of money. (890 U.S. dollars as a matter of fact).
It’s still on record of what happened, do you think they may give us a sympathy release for the floor?

A couple months ago I was sitting in the other room when I started to hear running water. I walked into the kitchen and my sink was overflowing from the drain, bubbling up from below. The water was not running or anything, it just came up on its own. I ran down to our landlord and she called maintenance to come stop whatever was happening. The water stopped on its own just before he got here but not before completely flooding my kitchen with nasty water (no overflow drain). There wasn’t a blockage or anything (it was draining fine for as long as I can remember). He snaked it and it didn’t happen again. It’s now about 2 months later and I heard the same sound. Went into the kitchen and instead of just water coming out it was what looked like soap bubbles and lots of them. This time, however, it stopped about 1/4 of the way up the basin then drained back out, leaving the bubbles. 10 min later it did the same thing and again 20 min later. Any ideas what could be wrong here?

I am selling my house, and the buyer ordered a termite inspection of course, and the man just left. I know for a fact that i have no active termites (my husband remodeled the entire house). The home was built in 1902, and has a cellar. The termite guy said that there is no active termites, there is some old damage but that there is no “evidence of treatment”, so he writes it up and wants me to sign up for a $450 treatment. I am wondering, is this a sales tactic they use, b/c they KNOW you HAVE to do it before closing, and their reports are final say? I told him I am getting a second opinion, and I am not signing up for anything. I feel like if my husband were home, this wouldnt have happened it was obviously B.S. to me. Have you had a similar experience? What should I do?

THE LARK PROGRAM
A Lady liberal wrote a lot of letters to the White House complaining about the treatment of a captive insurgent (terrorist) being held in Guantanamo Bay
She received back the following reply:
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C. 20016
Dear Concerned Citizen,
Thank you for your recent letter roundly criticizing our treatment of the Taliban and Al Quada detainees currently being held at Guantanamo Bay,Cuba.
Our administration takes these matters seriously and your opinion was heard loud and clear here in Washington.
You’ll be pleased to learn that, thanks to the concerns of citizens like yourself, we are creating a new division of the Terrorist Retraining Program, to be called the “Liberals Accept Responsibility for Killers” program, or LARK
for short.
In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have decided to place one terrorist under your personal care.
Your personal detainee has been selected and scheduled for transportation under heavily armed guard to your residence next Monday.
Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud (you can just call him Ahmed) is to be cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your letter of complaint. It will likely be necessary for you to hire some assistant caretakers.
We will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of care for Ahmed are commensurate with those you so strongly recommended in your letter.
Although Ahmed is a sociopath and extremely violent, we hope that your sensitivity to what you described as his “attitudinal problem” will help him
overcome these character flaws.
Perhaps you are correct in describing these problems as mere cultural differences. We understand that you plan to offer counseling and home schooling.
Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat and can extinguish human life with such simple items as a pencil or nail clippers.
We advise that you do not ask him to demonstrate these skills at your next yoga group. He is also expert at making a wide variety of explosive devices from common household products, so you may wish to keep those items locked up, unless (in your opinion) this might offend him.
Ahmed will not wish to interact with you or your daughters (except sexually), since he views females as a subhuman form of property. This is a particularly sensitive subject for him and he has been known to show violent tendencies around women who fail to comply with the new dress code that he will recommend as more appropriate attire.
I’m sure you will come to enjoy the anonymity offered by the burka — over time.
Just remember that it is all part of “respecting his culture and his religious beliefs” — wasn’t that how you put it?
Thanks again for your letter. We truly appreciate it when folks like you keep us informed of the proper way to do our job. You take good care of Ahmed - and remember, we’ll be watching.
Good luck!
Cordially, your friend,
GEORGE W. BUSH

I live in Oklahoma, I have a home that hubby and I rented out for awhile, and this lady, has been letting cats in the home, and other people living there with her. She signed the agreement for no pets and other people to live there. I did an inspection about a month ago. Should I give notice to correct it, or just get a eviction notice, and how would i get a paper for eviction, to get her out of there? Thanks.

OK so I have a clogged drain and called a Plumber.
After workin on it for about only 2 minutes, he said “Girly I’m gonna need a bigger Snake”
Then he gave me a bill for $60 and the drain is still clogged up. Was that fair?
