    I would go to the basement and find the hot air pipe for that room and see if there is a lever to turn to shut off the air to that room ..If so turn it and shut off the air to the room and do your remodeling.

    you might think about taking a razer knife and straight edge nd cut the old burn out, Use a good putty knife and lift and scrape away the old laminate,,sand all old glue out and may want to put a butcher block or may want to recess it for a tile or two.. You could get your handy router out after blocking it off and rout out a recess to fit in a cupole tiles and a little grout ..your all set with a new look.

    Your insurance company should put you in a whole new countertop after paying deductable. this sort of thing happened to us and they replaced the island and because the hpl had been discontinued they replaced the countertops to match. Our problem was wife set a new bottle of cleaner(from groceries) that was leaking on island and it took the finish from the hpl-high pressure laminate.

    take the pin out of the center hindge and place it between two blocks of wood and pop it with a hammer to bend it a little bit. Put it back in and it should work just fine

    WE USED TO USE A IRON to heat the tile or you could use a hair dryer ..not a het gun as too many fires have started that way..Heat it up and pull it off..Sure is worth a try

    Maybe there was work done before you got involved with the house outside. Ask if supply water pipe was replaced with copper and may of gotten bent only suppling you with enought water to have pressure with one opening..Just shooting and trying to help Landscaping may be the cause of something like that
