    Plumbing Question - Shower not hot

    I know I'm cheating a bit but I'd put money on it that some of you guys know a bit about plumbing. Basically, the Shower doesn't get that hot. I don't think it has since the boiler( I'm not 100% this was when) was changed. But the Sink and everywhere else does. They paid to have a new shower...

    USA My question about the lightning rod

    There is a lightning rod on the house. But is it safe to use? Lightning can cause damage to, for example, a tree, destroying it completely. It's not stupid to attract lightning to a house with a lightning rod. In addition, the power of the lightning is so great that it is unlikely to be...
