Re: Adding Additional Footings ?
Well, if your floors feel bouncy, adding piers will help that.

I think VAC just keeps the pilot on?

Re: Whirlpool hot water heater
I'd have to guess a leak you have not yet found.

Re: Publication?
I doubt it. Figure most parks are owned by an individual, so there's not likely to be an associated web presence. The easiest way would be to drive around the area to which you want to relocate, and stop at a decent looking park and inquire as to who owns it. Contact the owner, and, if they can't he...

Re: Window Screens
It would probably be easier from the outside, but can be done either way.

Re: Window Screens
Yep, slide up then tilt out at the bottom. If it is tight, gently pry up on the plastic corner pieces with a screwdriver. If you happen to break one, repair pieces are readily available.That raised center piece you see on the sill is what holds it in. They are spring loaded at top. I completely reco...

Re: Tub Drain
Try sticking plier handles down it and unscrewing. You probably will need access to the bottom of the tub, either through an adjoining wall or through the belly wrap. I think there is a nut underneath, like a sink drain.

Re: Bathtub flooring
You will need perpendicular blocking under the tub, and under the edge of the existing floor to provide a support for the replacement floor. The tub itself is supported by the center section, the edge you see provides only minimal support.

Re: Kitchen/bathroom plumbing issue
I'm not overly confident that coming from the other toilet will work. I think it will just follow the clear pipe down to the city sewer, but it is worth a try. If you got only a small glob on the snake, then maybe not close enough to the clog. Do you think the place where the sewer line drops out is...

Re: Water Heater shut off.....
FYI, the reason you should shut the tank off is because if you open a faucet, the tank can partially drain, exposing a heating element, causing it to burn out.

Re: Kitchen/bathroom plumbing issue
Keep trying with the snake. As a last resort, you could get underneath and cut the drain where it comes out and work backwards, but believe me, you don't want to if you can help it. You will be wearing everything in that pipe when it comes loose. Then you will have to repair the drain. At least they...

Re: Kitchen/bathroom plumbing issue
You should see water in the tub drain, because there is a p trap under there at about floor level. When you get the clog removed, the yuck you see in the toilet drain should go down. If you got a wad of tp on the end of the snake, you should be getting close to the clog. You need to locate the point...

Re: Kitchen/bathroom plumbing issue
Just don't pour boiling water down the toilet - you could crack it. Pour the boiling water down the kitchen sink. Dawn wouldn't hurt, but probably won't help either. It's too bad she is like that. Where we are, I own my home, but rent the lot. The landlord's people have repaired my water lines and b...
