Improving frost immunity of outside tap.

If it has an integral non-return valve, that's probably buggered too. Nowadays, the non-return valve has to be inside, for this reason.

Two ammeters in parallel

It's 101 stuff, as are shunts. Of course not everyone knows about it, and of course in a diy group most don't. The right info is available here but too often contradicted by a greater number that lack 101 level knowledge of electronics.

Helicopter noise

Planning Helicopters and small aircraft may use temporary sites for landing and taking off provided safety standards are observed. Such sites can include large back gardens, hotel grounds, or open fields (provided the owner consents) or open wasteland.

Garage Doors

I suggest you visit Lowe's or HD and look a door samples for Martin Doors. or visit their site.* This door qualifies for a tax credit. A single door cost me $1200.00 (no new rails, windows or opener).

hardwood floor finish not applied under DW or fridge

The "holidays" on the thresholds are inexcusable and need a return visit by the finisher. The stair treads need to be smooth. If they're not satisfactory, the a return visit by the finisher is needed. They are not left rough for any reason I know of. Nonny

Oil fired Furnace maintenance

I had a furnace guy come by here two yrs ago and replaced the nozzle and a photo-electric eye he and charged me like 500 dollars for the visit and cleaning (200 dollars more than the cost of buying it used).

HeatTrak Stair Mats

(I got both figures from Wikipedia) And consider the shopping habits of the chains' customers: Your typical Walmart customer is going to spend much less than half per-visit than Costco's members.

Dual Flush toilets (#1s and #2s)

If housemate needs to visit the loo every 20 mins I suggest he needs to visit his doctor and urgently. It could be a symptom of something really rather serious, diabeties has been mentioned, prostate problems can also have similar effects.

Local glass fibre Co. came up trumps though, after a home visit to take a look and make suggestions he came up with £100 for all the matting and materials I need, and the guy even offered to visit when I was doing it to lend a had if needed for a few beers...

'Dressing' a house to help it sell.....

:) We have just got another of those letters assuring us that the if we still do not have a TV we need take no further action but to expect a visit. Do they actually ever visit? After all these years I have still to have the pleasure of entertaining a TV inspector.
