Ladies do you ever feel like this? (56)
somechick: I learned along time ago to be my handyman/woman by take plumbing and electrical classes so I knew that someday I may not have a man around to do those things.
I know how to rewire a lamp and lift a wall unit etc myself.
I've built cupboards for my home,layed flooring, fixed a leaky sink,toilet.

as tiny as i maybe i can move the couch, washer and dryer and put stuff togethet my guy won't read the instructions and always screws up, and if i can't figure out the instructions i at least look at the pictures, i would say a woman can do alot if she just puts her mind to it.

thank goodness for my 4 brothers, usually one of them will come help me if I need it. I do most things myself if possible. I just put wooden floors in my 3 bedrooms all by myself. now I'm working on putting ceramic tiles in kitchen, living room and bathroom.
I'm having big issues getting the old linoleum up...

You really don't need to remove the linoleum before doing the tile. Just use a full flex thin set. Others may disagree, but Ive done it plenty of times. It is especially helpful when the lino is on a concrete slab because it acts as an insulator. The tile directly on concrete sucks the cold out of the concrete making the tile cold, and in cold weather that little bit of lino between the two really helps. As long as the lino is glued down securely (as it sounds like you have, I would just leave it.I'm having big issues getting the old linoleum up...

did you check the shut off valve for the hot water
Tamarin: I have an electric shower that is running cold...everything else in the house is working and we have hot water.... Do you have an acess panel behind the facets to the shower. If so see if the shut off valve is on or off.

Tamarin: You are quite happy in your own place... but there are the jobs and DIY tasks you just can not do for example lift that cooker or wall unit by yourself, rewire a lamp etc. So don't we wish we had a man we could take out the cupboard for this instead of paying a handyman!
OOOOOOh yes.... right now I need someone to fix my kitchen sink...
and the lighting in the kichen and ......

thank you hawk..
I wanted to use the full flex thin set, but just as you say I keep getting told it won't work, that eventually in a few years the tiles will crack. at this point, I'm so frustrated with the linoleum that the flex thin set will have to do. it's that or lose my sanity...

Now,if I have a problem, I call my best friend (female) who lives above me, and we sort it out between us.
Failing that, we have our neighbour Juan who is always willing to help....free of charge. It´s a damsel in distress thing I think.
It was my mother that we always bought tools for. She could fix things, my dad could not.
