Welcome Lisa ~ hope to see you next time!

  1. What is under roof called
    What is top of roof called

Soffit—The area that encloses the underside of that portion of the roof that extends out beyond the sidewalls of the house
What is top of roof called
The roof ridge, or ridge of a roof is the horizontal line running the length of the roof where the two roof planes meet. This intersection creates the highest point on a roof, sometimes referred to as the peak

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
2) What is the appropriate height for a gas water heater?
Gas hot water heaters have to be at least 18" off the floor because combustible fumes sink, and to provide adequate air intake

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
3) What is before you that cannot be seen?
your future

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
4) Is it OK to pour bleach, vinegar, Pine Sol down your drain?
Not bleach
Bleach is a powerful, toxic substance that should be used carefully and properly, and pouring it down a drain is not a proper use. Bleach can react with other substances in your pipes, potentially release fumes, and further plug up the system

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
5) How can you keep a room warm in the winter?
Ceiling fans can keep a room warm in the winter due to the fact that the hot air rises. When its turned on, it circulates it throughout the room
