I have worked in Electrical Engineering for 30 years in power distribution and am now a Senior Electrical & Instrumentation Designer, but I am a handy homeowner more than anything else and have a lot of skills when it comes to home repairs. Bathroom remodeling, flooring, painting, reconditioning old wood items, plumbing, car repairs and troubleshooting most problems. I think of myself more of a teacher than someone that is going to tell you exactly what you have to do, but I will share as much info as I have to help get your problem fixed, so if you are not interested in learning then don't ask me a question or rate me if you don't like my answers. To me, it is all about the journey so lets share the trail for a short ride and see where it takes us! I also want to give thanks to both my Mom, who has passed and my Dad, who raised us with the "Can Do" attitude and instowed such confidence in not only my life but everyone that ever came in contact with them. You can do anything that you set our minds too if only you can break it ..... | |

I can answer most questions in the field of plumbing home repair for the inside or outside property of a home including irrigation systems, septic systems, well water systems, recirculation systems and I can address these questions from a beginning plumbing standpoint or for someone who has more advanced skills. Are you working on an addition or remodelling? Need some bathroom or kitchen design ideas? Run your questions by me since I enjoy that challenge of remodelling & new construction projects. |

I can help with most questions about residential plumbing repairs. I am familiar with septic systems, and can answer some questions about water wells. I have no experience with commercial plumbing or codes. |

Hi Carla, Can you even find the connection buried in all that snow? LOL This is difficult to diagnose without actually seeing the hook-up you have. Out here in California, a flex connector called a
Hi Linley, There can be several reasons for this. The most likely is that there is something restricting the flow inside the valve itself since there does not seem to be a house wide problem with low
Hi joe, I'm a bit confused. From your repair description, this is a 2 or 3 handle valve but the problem is one that you get when the cartridge of a single handle gets put in 180 degrees out of position
Hi Tonya, AT 4 years old, the heater should not need replacing yet. They typically last at least 10 years. When you shut it off, what do you mean? Go you turn down the thermostat, turn the water off
