I'm pretty new to this. We lost our hot water, and when I went up to check on the heater I saw water in the emergency pan (it's draining fine), and the drain valve was very slowly dripping. I don't think it's dripping into the pan, so maybe there's two leaks?

Can I just tighten the screw on the drain valve without worries of it blowing up or something?

I'm thinking about getting a shop vac and draining out the pan and seeing if it fills up again. Good idea? Or should I just call a plumber?

I'm not sure about the t&p valve. It's connected to a pipe that goes off into somewhere I can't see.

One of the pipes outside is dripping but I think that's the emergency pan one.

Don't discount the role that a quote has. It won't fix the problem for you. But it can give you a little bit of momentum to take advantage of opportunities.

I've got ants coming in through a probable hole down in between the baseboard and our Berber carpet. It's in the middle of the wall. Should I just pull up the whole end of the carpet and caulk it? I heard Berber can be damaged easily. Is there a better option?

Yeah I can double tap but this would be better.

So the address bar, search, back button, everything is at the bottom.

Trying to decide which to go to.

The Lucini brand advertises that they don't. Haven't seen other sources confirming this.

On another note, would it better to get the vinegar from California or Europe, or somewhere else?

My wife and daughter have a high risk of cancer through genetics so I'm looking at foods to help with prevention. I'm finding it hard to find which foods would work here. So far I have:

Avocados (the wonder food)

Oranges

Cashews

Lentils

Black beans

Pacific wild caught salmon

Shrimp

Asparagus

Broccoli (not sure about this, think I saw high pesticides somewhere)

Onions

Garlic

Cinnamon (read that this actually helps lower the impact of higher GI index foods)

Mushrooms

There are some foods we're willing to buy organic like spinach/kale, but I also don't want to end up breaking the bank that way.

Does anyone else have these dual concerns? What else do you recommend?
