How to Find a Legitimate Mortgage Counselor

If the adjustable mortgage boom of the past ten years was not scam enough, the onslaught of illegitimate mortgage help services that followed is offering homeowners in distress even nastier forms of financial ruin. If you're facing foreclosure, bear in mind that your contact information is most likely available to both legitimate mortgage help consultants and scammers. Mortgage companies publish notices before executing foreclosures. Since foreclosure information is public information, scammers have easy access to your name and/or address, phone number and email address.

How can You Check to See if a Zone Valve is WorkingBy Mark J. DonovanQuestion: My hot water heating system does not seem to be operating properly. One of the zones does not seem to produce any heat. How can I test a zone valve to see if it is working properly?Answer: To test your hot water zone valve, turn the thermostat up that is associated with the particular zone valve. Make sure to turn it up high enough so that it is warmer than the current temperature in the room.You should immediately begin to hear and feel hot water flowing through the heating elements. If you do not, then you have a problem with the zone valve, circulator pump or thermostat.If there is a lever on the zone valve, you can also push it to the on position to see if hot water will begin to flow through the heating elements. Once you push this lever to the on position, you should begin to feel or hear hot water flowing through the heating elements. Note, however, that when this lever is turned to the on position, the thermostat cannot control it. Hot water will continue to flow through the heating elements until you push the lever back to the closed position. If this test works, then chances are the circulator pump is working.

Progress on Renovating a Shower ContinuesBy Mark J. DonovanI spent most of yesterday tiling my shower. This is after spending a couple of weekends removing the old ceramic tile, backer board and fiberglass shower pan, and installing new backerboard, and a mortar shower pan.Suffice it to say renovating the shower has been a major project. One significant contributor to the work, particularly as it relates to tiling the shower, is cutting the tiles in my garage. Though this has helped to prevent a colossal mess in the bathroom and given me room to work, it has meant lots of running up and down stairs, 1.5 flights. I feel like I have been on a stair stepper for 2 hours and completed about a 1,000 squats.I expect to wrap up tiling the shower walls today, however not until I first go out and purchase a new tile saw. My existing tile saw has seen its last days. It was a cheap tile saw that I bought for $75 at HQ (yes HQ) many years ago, and I have probably completed 20 tile projects with it. The motor has about had it, even with a sharp blade. So I guess it is time to bite the bullet.After wrapping up the tiling on the shower walls, I will then move onto the shower floor. This will be a little tricky due mainly to the curb. The size and shape of the curb is creating some extra challenges.Hopefully by next weekend I will be able to grout the tiles and be ready for the final plumbing.Once complete look for a couple of more videos on learning how to tile shower walls, and apply grout.
