Extracted from the article "Shopping materials for your ceramic tile installation project"
Before you start shopping for ceramic tiles and other bathroom accessories for your ceramic tile installation, here are some tile shopping tips for you. If you read them carefully they could save you some cash and trouble.
A budget is usually a consideration when installing ceramic tiles yourself.
A reason that many people become DoItYourselfer's is to reduce the cost of ceramic tile installation.
Make a list with all the Tiles and accessories you require for your bathroom tile installation. Put them in a table of items with the various places where they are available, the quality of material and the price you have to pay for it. This way you have all the information together and can easily compare before you decide where you're going to buy your ceramic tiles and accessories.
You'll probably need to consider such things as; ceramic tiles, ceramic soap holders, ceramic toilet paper roll holders, ceramic bathrobe hooks, ceramic towel hangers, ceramic shelves etc. You don't need all the accessories to be ceramic but they look nice when combined tastefully.
You should decide the overall color scheme: There are a huge variety of colored ceramic tiles and accessories on the market as well as different themes to combine with the colors
The Internet has given a new meaning to window-shopping for a ceramic tile installation. You can see the hundred of ceramic tiles, compare the prices and find the ones that suit your ceramic tile installation best. However, you should only use it as an information tool. You need to see your ceramic tiles with your own eyes before deciding which ones you want in your bathroom.

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.
