Jan 26	comment	How should I tile under kitchen cabinets? +1 When we do our kitchen it will definitely be cabinets before tiling, for those very reasons. One additional reason, depending somewhat on how the floor is constructed, If there is any movement at a later stage that causes gaps to appear (perhaps just tiny cracks in the grout) you may well have problems with water getting through in areas you can't even see, let alone get to for repair. Remember, a kitchen is a wet area and must be treated accordingly.

Jan 26	comment	Should I extend my house upward or knock down and build from scratch? Too localised and too subjective. When it all boils down our opinions on this are irrelevant because we have no real information to base those opinions on. We know nothing about your circumstance, your house, your land, your local regulations, etc., etc.

Jan 25	comment	How can I determine the maximum wattage that I can hook up to a breaker? That formula is for DC. For AC you also need to consider power factor, although for heating alone it's usually not a real concern. Just be aware that as a general rule it's not the correct formula for AC.
