			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="padding-right: 10px" src="http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/3158/roofingreplacingawoodsh.jpg" alt="" width="159" height="94" align="left" />Replacing damaged wood shingles is important for lending the roof longer life with a new shine on it. Repair work ought to be done upon the onset of small cracks on the surface mainly occasioned by warping of weathered wood. Early detection entails frequent check ups done by use of a ladder while avoiding direct stepping onto the roof which might precipitate further damage.</p>
<p>The work should be done on a mild day to avoid slippery surface. One should circumvent the damaged part of the shingle and hammer it out in pieces. The new shingle to be used should be smaller in size than the fissure it is designed to cover for humid conditions will extend it with time. All old nails should be removed or sawed off to fit the new shingle that minimally overlaps adjacent shingles. The new shingle is then adjusted in place while its overlap is hammered in through the protective barrier of a wooden block.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="padding-right:10px" src="http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/5224/howtorepairyourwaterhea.jpg" alt="null" width="215" height="272" align="left" />Water heaters usually become faulty now and then. They are repairable and all that is required is to establish which part is faulty. This is easy since most of the water heater hitches are caused by short circuits, there are sparks or some heat generated mostly in the heater plug. This head makes the plastic cover of the heater plug to change color and it mostly gets a dark patch.</p>
<p>When such a problem happens, either the wires get cut or one of the pin plugs becomes faulty. This will require you to open the heater plug that connects with the socket. You therefore expose the wire by removing the coating so that you are left with bare wires and then you screw then into the plug pin again. If that does not work then you should buy a new plug and change it by screwing the wires into the new plug pins.</p>
