"The bonus room, above the garage, was the coldest place in the house in winter, and the hottest in summer.   Air was coming in through the trim/baseboard, and the sub-floor itself was very cold in winter.  The goal Omni Services (OS) and I agreed to was to provide a year-round comfortable space.  As a consumer, I wanted the room to be "air tight" but OS could not guarantee that.
In preparation for the bonus room work, I removed the trim, carpet and pad for later re-use, and cut out (as best I could) some agreed-on 4x8 and 4x12 sections of the existing drywall, so we could see what was going on inside the walls and ceiling.  The scope-of-work document had Omni Services (OS) removing the sub-floor as well, to check out the insulation beneath it, but ultimately OS didn't deem that necessary, as they found a different way to add insulation. [So in hindsight I removed the carpet and pad unnecessarily.]
OS determined:
  a. the ceiling insulation was wrong for the space (R30 was crammed in, R19 should have been used)
  b. the roof above the bonus room (2x8 boards between the ceiling and the roof) had insufficient  ventilation
  c. there was insufficient insulation in the garage attic (adjacent to the bonus room) that was a continuation of the roof above the bonus room
 
What OS did for the ceiling:
  a. removed the R30 from most of the ceiling
  b. installed "proper vent"  (a way for air to flow between the lower and upper parts of the roof) where the R30 had been
  c. replaced the R30 (that was removed) with R19
  d. added some exterior ventilation (around the gutters and in the garage attic) to allow more air into the "proper vent"
  NOTE:  I had a roofing company install ridge-cap ventilation above the bonus room; OS's work was pointless without that
 
What OS did for the garage attic adjacent to the bonus room:
  a. install foam board insulation over the sloping area (continuation of the bonus room roof, into the attic)
  b. spray in more insulation
What OS did for the sub-floor:
  a. accessed the underside of the sub-floor from either the garage attic or the limited space between the bonus room walls and the ceiling (which continued downward into the garage attic)
  b. sprayed in more insulation
THE BAD: Once the drywall was replaced, taped, etc., and before the trim was put back on, there was still significant airflow into the room, where the drywall met the sub-floor.  I had not expected this, nor had OS.  I "fixed" this by using a combination of low-expanding foam from a can, leftover fiberglass insulation, and drywall mud.  Air was also coming in from the drywall holes cut for the electrical boxes, but styrofoam covers fixed that.
What OS did for the main attic stairs (accessible from the bonus room):
  a. manufactured a cover using leftover foam board and other materials
  b. installed the cover above the pull-down attic stairs
  c.  sprayed in more insulation in the attic, in the area around the new cover
What OS did for the doors:
After I removed the trim from the French doors, OS replaced one of the doors, which had warped.  I painted the door, then OS reinstalled the trim.
BOTTOM LINE:  We do not yet know whether the bonus-room goal was met.   We won't know until we have a string of really hot days, and another string of really cold days.

"My old water heater went out yesterday and of course leaked water all over. I shut it off and stopped the leaking. Called early this morning looking for someone to install a new one. Jim was actually sent over by another plumber who could not get to my job right away. Jim showed up, looked at the job, we talked about the options and he gave me a bid. Let to get the new water heater. We back in about thirty minutes. He had to make some changes to the water and gas lines. Added shut offs and installed new one. Took the time to explain operation and maintenance of the new one. Cleaned up the work site. Removed all debris and old water heater. I was impressed with his work and his attitude.

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.

Once you have your garbage disposal disconnected, you can remove the mounting bracket by unscrewing the bolts that are holding the bracket. You can back them out just enough to pop off the snap ring, which prevents the bottom portion of the bracket from disconnecting from the top when you unscrew the bolts. Use a regular screwdriver to pop off the snap ring, and the rest of the components should fall off by themselves.

Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.

While unplugging your garbage disposal and plugging it back in may help, most units have an actual reset button, a bright red switch found on the underside of your unit. If your garbage disposal needs resetting, you may notice this button sticking out about a quarter of an inch from the surface of the unit, with which it’s usually flush. Simply depress this reset button to reset the unit, and then test to ensure it’s working about 10 minutes later.

Replacing a garbage disposal costs anywhere from $150 to $950, but the average cost is somewhere around $550. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.
