Open Question
Q: Why don't my baseboard heaters warm up?
My daughter and her two children moved back home while her husband is serving in the Marines. A plumber cleaned out the boiler, but heat still doesn't get to the kids' rooms. Could there be a blockage? Do I have to flush the lines?
Tip Of The Day
"To help absorb moisture and prevent spotting and corrosion on hand tools, wrap a few charcoal briquettes in a piece of cloth and toss them into your toolbox or tool drawer. Replace them every several months."
