SO I put a stop payment on the check which was for $259.00…not $1200.00 as he quoted..I thought they were trying to rip me off and it is still not fixed…I faxed over why I put the stop on and I wrote to LA where i was suppose to write to cancel within 3 DAYS…….What will happen???.I am sure the main office notified them…but they called me…I did not return the call….IN THE PLUMBING BUSINESS PLEASE ANSWER with the truth please!!!

the seller and the realtor I think were friends! but the realtor also worked for me to. im not rascist but they were both from pakistan, and im a canadian. ok so the house was listed the excact day he made us buy it! so on the market for 5 min!!! he said not to get a home inspection as condo fees take care of the property! My lawyer says I have a strong case against them as they knew there were bed bugs when they moved out! they left all their furniture in the house! the exterminator said the bugs were there when they left meaning they knew because there were molts still under the carpet! if we sue them what would happen? my children have been eaten alive! myself and my husband too! I had to sell my dog because they were after her as well! I have already been to the doctor 3 times for different prescriptions for relief of these bites, im scared to go into the house, I cant sleep anymore with the lights off! I have a flashlight all night with me because im so scared! I even wake up fear

I hope someone can help me as I’ve been battling a leak situation for a couple months now. My water bill has sky rocketed. My normal monthly bill is around 4000 gallons and now it ranges between 17000 and 21000 a month. I’ve gone around and turned all toilets off, ice makers, etc and still had the meter moving. There are times when I shut the water off to the house and the meter still moves which made me think the leak had to be between the meter and the house, however there are times when the meter doesn’t move with the water to the house shut off or left on. I don’t see how an outside look could be intermittent, yet I don’t see how it could be an indoor leak if it doesn’t stop when I shut off the water at the house. I’m baffled as to where 20000 gallons of water could be going. I’ve even seen it use up to 7000 gallons if 4 days! I’ve ruled out every thing in my house.
I even had a plumber come out and after checking everything out that I had already done, he said the leak must be in the floors or walls somewhere because the meter wasn’t moving at the time he was there after we shut the supply off at the house. However it continues to move sometimes and not others regardless of whether or not the valve to the house is on or off. He also checked the water heater and PSI and all was fine.
Have you ever encountered anything like this? There is no pattern or logic to it as far as I can see. I’ve completely run out of options and see no wet walls or floors.
Any advice?
Thank you

The new location for our washer and dryer is literally 15 feet to the left our kitchen sink. Additionally, they will be located on an outside wall so the vent for our dryer shouldn’t be an issue(I hope). Is this an extremely difficult project? My electrician friend is doing the 220 for me, but isn’t into the plumbing stuff. We have a crawl space, but I’m trying to decide if this is going to be a huge project. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Education is supposed to teach us how to learn and to prepare us to be independent. Instead of teaching socialist theories of globalization, is it possible to have an home economics class that teaches one how to put in a sink or install a new toilet? It costs $190 to have a new sink installed; I had to earn $235.60 to pay for this (24% income tax removed from paycheck). I do not know how to change plumbing pipes.
I am not against hiring contractors, or reading how to repair things myself, but basic repairs course in high school would have been helpful and programming an entire nation to think one way seems like we are creating a society that will be punished for thinking outside the box.

I recently purchased a home and hired a plumbing contractor to come and connect the pipes under my kitchen sink. He said that he would have to re-route the kitchen plumbing to a different plumbing “stack” in the basement. The problem is that in doing so, he completely ripped out the wall behind the kitchen cabinets in order to install the new pipes. Now I have nice new pipes and a huge hole in my kitchen wall. Should I request that they fix it or do I need to hire someone else to repair my wall? And what type of company would I call to fix this? I only have two weeks left before my new occupancy inspection… please HELP.

It depends on how you are looking at them- visualize looking down on them and you would turn them clockwise to loosen. Now lay on your back and look up at them -you would turn them counter- clockwise to loosen them. They are always right-hand threads.

Alot. Check with your local salvage yard or recyclers (they’ll be in the yellow pages) for price per pound.

Turn the job over to a real plumber. You’re pretty obviously NOT one.

I am fairly handy. Won’t pull out the old tub until I am pretty clear what is goiung on. Help!
