Adventures in Home Ownership part 1
So I’ve noticed a couple of things now that we are living in the new house full time:
- there is no telephone hookup in the ‘office’
- our pipes bang when you use the master bathroom (sink or toilet)
- the shower in the master bath takes FOREVER to get warm…
I’ve read online that the banging in the pipes might be due to a lack of air in places where there should be air. The solution seems simple enough so I’ll give it a shot tonight. Basically, I need to turn off the water supply in the basement, open the taps in the bathroom(s), close em, then turn the main back on. Easy right?
For the telephone line, I am going to use this project as a primer in the finer points of home wiring so I can eventually put in speaker terminals and an ethernet port in the family room. It *should* be straight forward as the office wall terminates over the garage so I can get at both sides of it without too many complications. I am also some-what familiar with telephone wiring having destroyed the connections in our previous rental.
As for the shower taking too long… I think I am out of luck on that one, but we’ll see.
