Trained in C, familiar with C++ and Java, spent the last 10 or so years mostly in scripting (perl, shell, etc) with a little php/ajax/js on the side. I've been running linux on just about all my systems for over 5 years, and at least partially using it since '95, mostly with Debian and now Ubuntu. Lately I'm getting back into a project using C, maybe Lua, front end with php/ajax/js, and who knows what else.
Outside of the techie stuff, I enjoy photography as a hobby and do a lot of home repair both on my own home and with the local Habitat chapter. For fun, I strap the bare necessities onto my back and enjoy a weekend of backpacking.

Suggestions for a kitchen layout for my house? I hate to say this for a question that you spent so long putting together, but "suggestions/any input" are very abstract and don't make good SE questions where there's a correct answer. Did you have a more specific question? |

Why does my circuit breaker trip with any small load, even after replacing the breaker? Agreed, a neutral to ground short would be my guess. |

hanging theater curtains semi-circle under the front cornice This may be getting off topic for "home improvement." Sounds more like a hobby project. |

How do I know if my power drill needs to rotate clockwise or counter clockwise to drill forward? This is a bit counter intuitive, but when the drill is set to R, you have actually pushed the switch over to point to L. That's because it's designed to be operated by a right handed person that lifts their trigger finger up and pushes the switch on the R side in to get into R, or your thumb up to push the L side in to get into L. It's the same with other drills where the button pops out the side, you push it in on the forward side and it goes into forward. You don't push it in on the opposite side so it pops out on the forward position to get it into forward. |

How do I join 2x4s without mitering? Welcome to the site. I added the photos to your post, +1 for including an example design that's quite simple. You should now have enough rep to remove the new user restrictions. |

Why isn't there hot water in the shower, when there is hot water in the rest of the condo? -1 since the shower head should be ruled out by the cold water flow, the hot water heater is ruled out by the hot water in the rest of the condo, and the shower valve is a duplicate of DMoore's answer below. |

Why does water and gunk back up through the overflow hole in the bathroom sink? Why would this result in water backing up through the overflow inlet instead of back up the drain? |

Does polybutylene plumbing require lower pressure? You should include more details in the answer, e.g. how to check the water pressure before the main shutoff where PRV's are frequently located. |
