"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.

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.

Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. 

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a local garbage disposal installer to do the job.
