So, it turns out the cleanout plug was fairly thin brass. A 2' pipe wrench on it broke the hex off, so I used a sawzall / cold chisel / hammer to remove it. However, the bigger issue was that even a

Called the pros. They opened up the cap on the septic tank (which I hadn't thought of doing) and verified that the tank wasn't over full, then snaked it from that side (power snake). $105 and took t

This reminds me... I had a plumber swear to me that a gas water heater didn't have a sacrificial anode rod. Any truth to that? In any event, its leaking a tiny bit on the bottom somewhere, so I'll b

So the water heater thread makes me ask this... I need to replace our water heater, as its leaking a bit under the tank. It was apparently made in '91, so hey, whatever. Its currently mounted 'fixed

I'll check the site as well, but if the anode is integrated into the water inlet, does that mean you really want threaded / flexible connections to the cold water supply to facilitate changing it? M

When you have a valve that leaks a little so you keep getting water dribbling down into the joint you're trying to solder, take some white bread and smush it up into the line to plug it, then solder

I dunno. I bet I'm not alone in having my water heater in the basement. I'd like it a heck of a lot better if it exploded sideways, not vertically. And I like Mythbusters just fine, even when I watc

I don't know if it will help you, but we've had similar issues with a Moen faucet that has a single handle. Moen has a pretty good replacement policy, so I called them up, told them I bought it thre

I have no idea if the equation is right or applies, but I can 100% say that the brakes will overpower the engine at WOT, since that's recently been tested in response to this issue: http://www.caran
