Sep 29	asked	How do I install a sink in a room that doesn't have a drain vent?
Sep 29	comment	What are the tools that every Do-it-Yourselfer must own? Yes, 12 point sockets are typically for engine building and specialty. Emphasis is on obtaining 6 point sockets.
Aug 30	comment	How do you remove the stick-on child safety locks from appliances? It turns out I was able to yank them off with some muscle without damaging the surface. They are a foam backing, so while Joe's suggestion did not work, peeling them back did work well without needing to apply any WD-40 or similar.

Aug 13	comment	Where can I find garage building plans? Free would be nice, but I'm personally willing to reward an architect/supplier for having a good design.

Aug 11	comment	Can I use a 50 Hz device in a 60 Hz power frequency? Heating elements may not care about 50Hz to 60Hz, but probably will care about dropping from 60Hz to 50Hz. Doing so will make it work harder because the voltage spends more time in the positive and negative peaks and therefore draw provide more current. This effect also overheats anything with windings, like electric motors and transformers.
Aug 10	comment	Can I use a 50 Hz device in a 60 Hz power frequency? Make sure it's rated for the power of the espresso machine or you'll burn out the converter or the espresso machine.

Aug 4	comment	Is a gas water heater safe in a bedroom? Sure, I wouldn't mind a large container of scalding hot water surrounded by FIRE in my bedroom closet.
Aug 3	answered	Best review sites/web resources for finding a contractor?
Jul 30	comment	Can a house with moldy, flooded basement be a likely fixer upper? About every recently built house with a basement in my area (Delaware) has a sump pump as a precaution. The predominant red clay soil may be a factor in this practice. This house is about 8-10 years old. e.g. My current house has one and it does kick on from time to time during storms or hot/humid days when the AC condensation builds up in the sump.
