Yipes! New tank installation gone wrong? Help?
Comments (13)I cooked some hot dogs today on the central burner and didn't notice any return of the whining sound. However I did have to fiddle with the ignitors for a half an hour until I was satisfied with their performance. Interesting, the ignitor module has four outputs, which are paired. So the gaps for the burner ignitors need to be evenly spaced, or balanced, so that the spark is even. Also, the leads to the ignitor module were a bit loose, so I took some pliers and crimped the female bayonet connectors on the leads to make for a better connection. I also filed a bit of a rough spot on the burners where the ignitors spark. After all that, the ignitors seem to be working better. Oh, and guess who makes the ignitor module? Grand Hall!!!...See MoreStain gone wrong on new windows

Comments (10)Is he a licensed contractor? If so, notify your state contractor's license board and file a complaint. They may also be able to advise you about how to proceed to resolve this. Personally, I would explore my options there, as well as getting the advice of an attorney before I paid another penny. Regardless of whether or not your contract lists "quality of work," there are standards of workmanship that all contractors have to follow. You cannot just go into someone's home and do whatever you want and then hide behind lien laws. Lien laws protect contractors from non-payment, but there are laws to protect consumers as well....See MoreGerman schmear gone wrong on exterior of house. How to fix?
Comments (37)Good morning! Loving the color combination ideas and the backlit number sign suggested by @Lau Rie. @Beth that grey garage door is beautiful and goes with the house style. The vent is not an actual vent so we could remove or embellish. My front door's color is close to Foggy Day you proposed. I like what you did to your place by painting the underside of your eaves. Are the wood panels you mentioned the white part of the gable? Here are the colors you suggested with darker trim and Dove-white stucco. @ShadyWillowFarm I can't hose off the lime wash as we didn't use Romabio's product, but regular white tile mortar that is hard as a rock now. @Beverly when we originally applied the German schmear it was whiter and it looked like it clashed more. We ended up polishing/grinding it off the rock which resulted in grey looking stones. The actual river rocks are in the pink/brown family. Not to my liking. @Jilly thanks for the feedback. The house is from the 90s and you're right in saying that it doesn't have MCM features. Is this comment related to the glass door I wanted to use? The river rock is only found on the front of the house and it extend about 3 feet towards the sides. The tile roof needs to be power washed but it is a brownish color. Regarding going over it with Romabio and changing the grout color, that's what I was considering when I posted my question. When I photoshopped the grout with a light grey I thought it looked a little better. However, now when I see the picture I can only think of the ugly tan stucco :( @decoenthusiaste live and learn, right? My husband wasn't too happy when he saw me adding mortar to the river rock and by that time it felt like we were committed to finishing the project *sigh!*....See MoreCeeCee
