    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    Hmmm you guys may be onto something with the cartridge.  My shower head is leaking some after showering.  I believe I do have a PRV at the water meter.  I'll have to check that out.  You shouldn't have linked that inspectapedia site.  That'll be like WebMD for your house.  Headache?

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    I just went back in the bathroom a few minutes after turning the shower off, and the shower head was dripping decently. I checked the knob, and it was all the way off. I turned it on and right back off, and it quit dripping. I don't know if that's relevant or not.

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    I tried running it with just cold water. I occurred to me that since my shower only has one knob that controls the water temperature instead of separate hot and cold knows, hot water may be used even on the lowest setting, which I tried. I still got some vibration sounds, but it didn't last as...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    Thanks for the responses.  I'll try the cold water in the shower tonight and see what happens.  I don't know if it's related or not, but just so you guys have all of the info, we did have the hot water heater replaced a little over a year and a half ago under our home warranty.  We also had an...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    The noises themselves don't bother me. My concern is they'll eventually spring a leak somewhere.  I can deal with a leak under the house, but I don't want to go tearing up walls.

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    I'm also in the process of replacing an acrylic block window in our master bath.  Deposit has been paid, and we're waiting on them to come do the install.  Ours is about 3.5' x 3.5' and sits over our tub.  It's leaking through one of the seals in the bottom right corner during heavy, driving...

    Countdown to Star Wars

    I'll be seeing it on Wednesday.  I can't freaking wait.  I've been a SW nerd since elementary school.

    Feel good about how you did on the exam?

    All things considered, I felt very good leaving the exam.  I didn't have to straight up guess on any of them.  There were about 7 or 8 that I had to take an educated guess on after narrowing the answers down to 2 choices.  Like everyone else, the longer I waited for my results, the more anxious...

    Custom framed my PE certificate

    Very impressive!  I'd be intrigued by a South Carolina one.  Our certificates are vertical instead of horizontal, but they're also 11x8.5.

    P.E. or PE

    I'll be going with P.E., because that's how everyone above my pay grade uses here at work.

    Average pay raise after PE

    I'll be getting a 5% raise, effective today. I work for a local county, so I figure that's pretty decent for a govt. job. They also paid, straight up, at least $2000 for me to take the exam, including a review course, admin and application fees, and books.

    What do you use to bring in your books?

    I used a bookbag and one of those reusable grocery bags.  I saw a lot of milk crates and suitcases as well.

    Civil PE Exam Review Course Recommendations

    The test is the same nationwide.  I took the live online review course with School of PE and passed on the first attempt.  I was very happy with the class. I've heard a lot of good things on this board about EET.  I don't think you could go wrong with either one.

    If you passed (for us that failed)

    I started studying the first week of August.  I figured that would give me about three months.  I borrowed some review class notes from a friend that passed the exam last year.  I spent one week on each topic, basically just copying the notes and working the example problems.  At the end of each...
