I am a Nurse Anesthetist by trade and that consists of putting people to sleep for surgery.

By the time she was 18 she had endured two separate 3-year stints with braces, multiple oral surgeries and implant surgery.

The washers that come in the kits sometimes are hard plastic with no flex and will leak with any abnormality surfaces in the tank where it seats down.

With older homes and lead paint it is important to attend to peeling interior paint for kids who might chew on it.Checking alarms.Checking dryer vents, replacing plastic with metal.What else?

Last year my mother had an aneurism that after brain surgery left her unable to return home.

I am under the assumption only a porcelain tub can be refinished, not the plastic/fiberglass tubs.

Unfortunately I heard from him recently and he had to have surgery and is not feeling too good and so is not looking for real estate anytime soon.

Bill,Would you get lasik surgery without reading up on it?

Plastic laminate does not handle knife slices well.Oh yeah, and a plunger too.

Thanks, I didn't know about that link. 1990 is a better cut-off year, but some things made with asbestos are still legal and being sold and used, especially plastic roof cement, and stucco in some areas.
