    I need to track down a left hand cover for an older (15 years or so) forced hot water baseboard. Does anybody know where I could go to get one online? Thanks

    The problem is is that there is a direct line between the living room and the bottom of the stairs with open air the entire way. I guess i will need to figure out something to break that up.

    Heating has passed mechanical inspection. Only two issues I have found since then is that where the oil line connects to the boiler wasn't quite tight enough so there was a slow drip of oil running down the inside of the orange cover and dripped back near the tank. The other issue was that one...

    Is Mohawk SmartStrand worth it?

    Carpet has been installed and is really nice. Only glitch was that I found a water leak in 2nd floor heating run that the heating company had to quickly run out and fix which held the carpet guys up. Just glad I found it before they finished installing carpet.

    Tools for removing old carpet padding and staples
