  1. No bilds or drapes or anything else in front of the windows. The fog is not inbetween panes, but on the inside of the house. We have a humidistat that is set at 15% humidity. There is plenty of static Electricity, so I know it is dry.
  2. I just bought a new house (built in 2005) and the windows (Vinylite, sliders) become fogged and iced up on a cold winter day. This is not just normal fog and ice, the fog encompasses the entire window and the ice is thick around the edges. I even had it on the vinyl, well below the window. I have noticed that people around this area put there windows in and then apply house wrap up to the window, not behind it. They do not flash out the sill and do not flash out the nailing flange. The windows also let in a lot of cold air. What's the problem, any ideas?
  3. I bought a new house made in 2005 and the bathroom faucet upstairs stinks. All the other faucets are fine. There is only one bathroom and the bathtub water does not stink. The water from the sink smells fine at first, but after it is ran for a few seconds it begins to smell like sewer gas. I thought it may have been a syphoning trap below. Any thoughts?
  4. I was told that basement Duplex receptacles need to be placed at 24" above the slab. I can't find that anywhere, only that it needs to be at 12". I thought just to be safe I would set them at 24" (High water table, flooding is possible). Does anyone know the code, and is there any reason I should not place the outlets at 24".
