Choose your Bathroom Tile design & Tile patterns

Choosing the tile design is obviously the first thing you need to do, with out deciding this you can not start planning your bathroom tile installation.

Tile suitability - Tiles are made in porous and non-porous varieties. When planning a bathroom tile installation, you should choose the non-porous ceramic tiles.

If your bathroom is small and the tiles have designs on them, you may have to go for smaller sized tiles as they have smaller designs. Too large tile designs may not suit small bathrooms so choose a smaller tile design for smaller bathrooms.

If you go for a plain color, the size isn't that important, however try to follow the rule above anyway.

A good tile design idea is to choose contrasting colors for the floor tiles and wall tiles. Then have a skirting line the same color as the floor tile.

Another tile design idea is changing color at chest level, which will change the look of your bathroom.

Try to choose bathroom accessories that compliment the color of the walls.

How to Use Wall Anchors

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 Incandescent Lighting Ban

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.
