Files on your computer can become corrupt and stop working over time.

This way, you can be sure your pages look the same in IE6 as they do in more CSS-compatible browsers.

There are two reasons to insulate the walls behind a tiled shower -- sound dampening of interior walls, and to prevent heat loss and increase energy efficiency of exterior walls. Three types of insulation can be used for this application: fiberglass bats, rigid foam, and foam-in-place. The most popular insulation for this application is fiberglass batting, which has a paper and plastic backing on one side, comes in rolls, can be cut to fit, and is the least expensive. The scope of the project, budget, and personal preference will determine the type of insulation used. When installing a tiled shower, it is also necessary to install a vapor barrier between the insulation and the tile underlayment

Conventional recessed light fixtures tend to be drafty because they create a bridge between a cold attic or roof space and the warm living space below. Cold air drops down (and warm air rises up) through the hole in the ceiling surface---around the edges of the light canister---and through the fixture itself. Although the most energy-wise recessed fixtures today are airtight and rated "IC" (for insulated ceiling; you can cover the fixtures with insulation without creating a fire hazard), standard fixtures are not airtight and cannot be covered with insulation. Therefore, short of replacing the old fixtures with energy-wise models, the only way to stop drafts is to seal around the ceiling holes with caulk.

Concrete expansion joints are placed in concrete slabs in order to allow for trouble-free expansion and contraction of the concrete during temperature changes. By placing expansion joints when laying concrete, you prevent the cracks and breaks that may otherwise occur in the concrete if the safety margin of the joints were not added. Unfortunately, either through a mistake when cutting the joints, or simply with the passage of time, these joints may become damaged. When the joints have grown wide over time, pulled away from adjoining structures, or developed cracks, the joints can be repaired using a joint sealer, preventing the spread of damage to the rest of the concrete, or the adjoining structure.

Water is the ultimate enemy of a mobile home floor with a subfloor made of particle board. A small amount of water from a leak can soften and weaken particle board, and over time, it becomes weak enough to crumble under a small amount of pressure. Particle board cannot be repaired and should be replaced with plywood, which is more durable. Repairing a water-damaged floor in a mobile home is a matter of removing the floor covering, cutting out the damaged particle board and replacing it with stronger plywood.
