not only will I need to cut a hole in my nice antique oak floor, but from what you say, I will also need to have a hole cut through the roof of the house. If I had only considered this expense before...

Are you saying that in order to fix that well (someday) that hole through the ceiling (the room has a 7' ceiling, and the wine cask is empty and has been cut to fit over the well head and hose) will...

It was in the house this way when I bought the house 14 years ago. There is a window in the well room that leads to the outside. Is that tube fairly flexible? I noticed that there is a hole in the...

I have a well room in my house. It is really just a concrete room under one section of the house. In the middle of the concrete floor is a approx 1 foot square hole which does to the dirt. Coming out...

Yes. Thanks for your help. I help people for a living, and as such, never expect a thank you. But if you need to hear a thank you to stroke your ego, here we go, THANK YOU.

I don't know where you guys live, but I recently had a really bad experience in NJ. I have had some good experiences.

>>Funny,

Well, we agree to agree. Good luck.

We got it going. Luckily there were two of us and one has a brother-in-law who is a plumber. Ended up pulling the bibb back through the wall and then pushing is back in. I'd rather step on a nail...

The hose bib is not the problem. I can loosen it. The issue is that that copper tube going trough the wall has clear caulking around it very heavily caulked. How can I remove this cauking or least...

A frost-free silcock is a good idea. I have thought about that before. There are 2 problems.

What is a big blue/red box?

OK. Now we are thinking outside the box. But how do I get this in? Say I cut out the old ball valve. Let's say this leaves a 3 inch piece missing in the line. Now I want to put the Sharkbite back...

>>Does the current ball valve leak in the open position¿

You mean leak from the valve itself? No. When the valve is closed a little bit of water still emits. Is there a washer in these things?
...

As I said, there is approx only one foot in which to remove the current ball valve and replace it.

Every winter the pipe outside my home that goes to the hose, leaks. I drain the pipe before winter, but the ball valve that is inside the house lets a dribble of water through, even though it is...

Well these baseboards are on the first floor while the oil burner is in the basement. I need some written instructions on how to bleed the air.

I am not sure which part is the convector.
