    See title and subtitle. Let me guess, I have to go and buy a whole new wax ring kit and re-do the whole thing because one of the sides is broken off, even though the toilet isn't going anywhere... Does anybody have any experience in this?

    Why can't workers (service guys, sub-contractors, etc.) just show up when they say they will?

    I just want to know why it is so difficult to get to my house when you say you will. The cable company ALWAYS gives a 4 hour window that they never make on time, painters will show up when they damn well feel like it, and today, I've been waiting from 12-2 EST for a plumber to show up, and he's...

    Just wondering if it's possible to replace a natural gas oven with an electric oven. Is it normally wired up electrically to where you CAN replace it with an electrical one if you so desire? It's late, Sears is closed, and ATOT is the last bastion of random internet knowledge.

    Tighter budget worth it to own your home instead of renting?

    Making the leap from renting to buying a home. Monthly payment going up means less "fun" money. Instead of eating out 2 or 3 nights a week, it will be 1 or 0. Will be buying less crap (but we've got all of the stuff we need for new house, furniture, electronics, etc.). Moving slightly...

    OCZ or G Skill 2x1gb kit?

    I've had problems with Corsair Value Select ram and my DFI mobo. The memory dividers are very flaky with any bios, I think it's the ram. Some people say G Skill is good, and some say OCZ is the way to go. I can get the G Skill DDR500 for $158 off of newegg, or the OCZ DDR 400 Platinum for...
