    Plumbing Question... waterhammer?

    I am by no means a plumber, but I had a similar problem at my last house. There were no additions, just one day got that hammer sound when running water. The problem was a bad, or failing, pressure regulator. I had a plumber replace it and everything was good. John

    DIY oil change VS. dealership

    I do them myself - the dealerships hire the guys who can barely turn a wrench to do oil changes. It doesn't take me that long, plus it gives me a chance to inspect whats going on underneath the car. Oh, and I enjoy doing it too.

    Short block cleanup before assembly

    Nothing you can do without disassembly. Carefully clean the surface of the block so you have a good surface for the heads to sit on. Preparation is your friend here - blocking holes so gunk doesn't get in. You could pull off the oil pan and have a look at the bottom end, but that quickly gets...

    Hip roof w/vaulted ceiling

    Here's mine - it's a single bay, 16x25. It has a hip roof and the ceiling is vaulted. This is a composite of seveal pics, so you have to overlook the distortion, but hopefully you'll get an idea of the inside.

    Building inspection

    I agree with other's comments. You didn't know about the issue and therefore didn't hide anything. The house is sold, you been extra nice in trying to help, but it's time to cut the cord. The new homeowners are completely responsible and need to deal with it unless they are willing to pay you a...
