Re-piping Your House: The PEX Solution

Shortly after that on Twitter I was discussing a bathroom plumbing issue where I recommended that they check out PEX piping to re-pipe those fixtures. While I love Twitter […]
Safety Sunday: Staying Lead Safe in Your Home
In the last three Safety Sunday articles, we covered how Homeowners can perform Lead Safe Renovations on older houses utilizing the 3 C’s.

Test Taking Tips: ENERGY STAR V3, RESNET, CEA, & BPI
