Can you haul a fridge on its side? Or do you have to keep it upright?

Upright. Not exactly sure why, but I just know it has to be upright.

A fridge should be transported upright because if it isn't the freon does something (creates air pockets maybe?). If it does need to be non-upright, then after transport it should be left upright for 24 hours for the freon to 'settle', prior to it being plugged in.
Same deal with a freezer.

I think the reason has something to do with the springs holding the compressor being designed to work vertically. If the fridge is banged around on its side (that's what she said), then the springs won't be bracing it at all.
No matter what, if you transport it anyway other than vertical, make sure to let it stand for 24 hours to settle the freon before plugging it in.

Dumb question, but is it possible to have natural gas powered radiator heating in one's home? I'm asking because I've only ever heard of it being electric. On Google I can only really find industrial or portable gas radiant heaters.

I actually searched for steam radiator heat because several of my friends have them in very old homes in the KC area. I don't know what made me read this thread or see that question! I would never have known that otherwise

Looks like my "oh that's just a bit of caulking, I can fix that" problem has grown into a possible new tub/surround install... frack me.
Anyone got any general contractor/reno companies they recommend?

Thanks. Tried my closest Canadian Tire already, they have none. I was hoping someone had seen them, not online, just to save a runaround.
Family is rebelling this year against my uni-colour decorating of the house. First world...yes I know.

I suppose you have neither the time nor the inclination to adapt your decorating style to a family that sleeps under the blanket of the very decorations that you provide and then questions the manner in which you provide it! You'd probably rather they just said thank you and went on their way.

I have 4 x 8.8 Lag Screws that I need to sink into metal studs to hold up a TV wall mount.
The instructions say nothing about metal studs, but they say there should be a 3/16" pilot hole for wooden studs. Since it is metal, I am wondering if I need to still drill the pilot, or if the pilot should be larger/smaller.
Reason being is apparently we have no drill bits and I would like to get some, but other people are saying to just drive the lag screw in with the socket on the drill.
Obviously if it mangles the screw and/or the stud, it wouldn't be good.

You probably have regular gauge studs, which imo, you would not have to have a pilot hole. Just make sure not over tighten the screws, which will strip the hole. If you do, you just have to start a new hole.

Here's a riddle:
You have 2 bathrooms. One is a women's with just a toilet, and the other is a men's with both a toilet and a urinal, but they are not separated by much, so two people couldn't use both at the same time.
The question is, why would the seat on the men's toilet ever be up? Would somebody ever go through the trouble of lifting the lid to use the toilet instead of just using the urinal?

Cleaning staff not putting the seat down after they finish cleaning it?

Some people refuse to piss in a urinal, ever. I don't get why, other than assuming they want more privacy or can't figure out how the zipper in their pants works, so they need to drop their pants to their ankles.
Of course, the other option is maybe someone just wanted to lick the toilet and the seat was getting in the way.
