Extracted from the article "Preparing your bathroom to lay ceramic tiles"
When preparing the surfaces for a tile installation, you should consider the following tips.
Before you start working on the bathroom floor and/or walls, you will need to isolate the electric supply and water supply and restore them later on.
It would be advisable to arrange an alternative temporary electrical supply to the extraction fan, which will need to be on almost continuously. This is to make sure you are not breathing in all the dust, remember that tiling becomes dusty at some stages.
If your bathroom has no extraction fan, make sure you wear a mask, especially while cutting tiles.
While laying new tiles over old tiles is not always a problem, it is however a practice that I would not recommend. The truth is that to do it properly is probably a more expensive job than simply removing the old tiles. Getting rid of the old tiles is not a quick or easy job but the results will be well worth the effort.
Removing the old tiles used to be a backbreaking job. Now with power tools available, this can be done much quicker and easier than before. There is no need to buy these tools; nowadays you can find tool hire shops in every city. You can hire a hammer drill with a special chisel for a few bucks a day.
After removing all the old tiles and debris, check if the embedded plumbing, or electrical work need any changes or renovations. This is the time to do any maintenance work or repair if needed.

The Wall Anchor. I'm not writing about the type shown in the photo. I mean wall anchors you need when fastening things to the wall in your home. These include types such as molly, toggle, shield, self tapping.
I understand all you want to do is install a a shelf, right? Not many things are as confusing as what type of wall anchor to use when you want to fasten something to the wall. It seems there are more variations than necessary and then which ones work best or are easiest to use?
I've outlined all you need to know in a visual guide to using wall anchors including which wall fastener to use depending on the type of wall and weight of the object being attached. And I've outlined installation tips and instructions.
I also lay down the straight information on which anchor types work well and which ones are more trouble than they're worth.

Water Heater Troubleshooting and Repair
The water heater is an amazingly reliable appliance and one you rely upon every day. It really has very few parts that can go wrong and most are easy to repair. Of course knowing the various water heater's components and their names are essential so reviewing the Anatomy of a Water Heater is a good starting point.
In the article How to Repair a Water Heater I'll provide you information on tank type and tankless water heaters, and I'll show you how to troubleshoot and repair your water heater. From replacing a water heater thermocouple to understanding the anatomy of a water heater to sizing a tankless water heater, it's all covered.
And in the tutorial Replacing a Water Heater Thermocouple or Flame Sensor I'll provide illustrated step-by-step instructions on how to remove and replace your water heater's thermocouple so you can keep yourself in hot water!

The ban on the 100 watt incandescent bulb is now in effect.
As of January 1, 2012 the law says you cannot manufacture or import into the United States any General Service Incandescent Lamp that is above 72 watts having a light output of 1490 - 2600 lumens and a minimum service life of 1,000 hours.
That means the $0.50, 100 watt, standard incandescent light bulb is now banned.
What has emerged to take its place is a $5.00, 72 watt, halogen bulb stuck inside a standard incandescent light bulb shape. I guess it's that shape so you don't notice that less light output now costs you 10 times more.
Of course there is also the mercury containing 23 watt CFL bulb but that still costs about $4.00 to $5.00 too.
In the tutorial Incandescent Lighting Ban I'll explain a bit about the realities that are starting to set in about the standard incandescent light bulb ban and the frantic media hype trying to convince you it's not happening.
