Formerly flooded house 
  I am buying a house in NJ which has an outdoor heating and cooling unit I guess its like a heat pump and I think it was at least partially under the ocean or bay or whatever during the hurricane "Sandy". It sits about a foot off the ground and I wonder if it can be salvaged with just a circuit board replacement and maybe a blower motor.... more »

Tile layout tool for iPhone 
  I was just playing with an app called TilePro for the iPhone. It's just a simple app that gives you a starting point for setting your tiles when you want to end up with equal tiles at the walls. Looks like a nice DIY'er tool.
