Home Maintenance & Repairs: Problem with erosion in trench
Like most houses, I have a slightly slopped area covered in centipede and Bermuda parallel to the road where rain water has flown for 15 years.

I put standard size gravel in the trench to prevent further washing until I could work on it. Since then we have had two more heavy rains; both times the runoff wasted the gravel into my unhappy neighbor's yard. Each time I have

Bathroom: Remodeling master bath
What are your feelings about having a hot tub in a bathroom? A friend told me theirs made so much noise, it was not practical to use. Admittedly, it would only be used maybe once a month relaxing after a hard day.

Yes the heater and your stove can both be used off of one tank. The tank supplier will properly size your tank based on its location such as above ground or below, and the amount of fuel needed in the worse case cold conditions based upon the max load needed. If the tank is to small, it will work fine in warm weather, but once it gets cold the liquid gas simply does not evaporate fast enough to supply the right amount of energy to do the job properly., Calling for a larger tank.
