comment How to make a house that tolerates condensation
Are sure this will reduce condensation? Suppose you have two cold surfaces in the house, and you insulate one. Will the other now get 2x the condensation?

comment What do-it-yourself cautionary tales do you have?
They make a little device you can screw on to the end of the gas line coming from the wall, which will close if the gas comes out uncontrolled. Depending on the amount of gas escaping, that may or may not have helped here.

comment Why won't my bathroom light fixture work?
I've seen people get confused with chained GFCI before. I would avoid chaining, or confine it to one room.

Wear some insulating shoes, and avoid touching anything else (especially the plumbing and faucet) while doing this. If you aren't well grounded, a 120V shock is not a big deal. If you're standing barefoot in a puddle on the basement slab - OW!

comment How can I level my basement floor, which has a 4-inch dip?
Yes, that is a lot of settling. Perhaps the footing was poured on disturbed soil, or a lot of water is getting under the footing.
