Kenmore stove
10/11/2026 - 10:30 AM
Kenmore stove is approx 10 years old. The switch on the turbo burner no longer works. A repairman said the replacement switch is not actually the same; the post is not as long. What are my options to repair it as we love this stove?

Bathroom and sanitary
Waterproofing shower before re-tiling
Mark 04/11/2026 - 2:22 PM
We will be knocking down some old shower tile in my kids’ bathroom and putting up new tile. Not sure yet if concrete or drywall is behind it. Our home is early 2000s in Durham Region. Have seen two options of what is usually behind old shower tile: either drywall with a metal mesh, or concrete. Looking for suggestions on how to approach waterproofing it if it’s drywall. Have heard positive things about installing Go Board. However, if it’s concrete, I’ll leave intact. In the case of concrete, is further waterproofing needed? Thanks to any experts with suggestions.
