I have a quick question! My 14year old son stayed in a Hilton hotel recently and he went to the bathroom in his room and blocked the toilet up. The toilet started overflowing and did not stop. He called housekeeping and then went to get a couple of adults to help. Unfortunately they did not stop the water overflowing and the toilet continued to overflow until housekeeping came up almost an hour later. By this time a huge amount of damage had been done by the large volume of water. Now the hotel has sent me a bill for the damage $3000. I was wondering if the toilet should have shut off automatically after a few minutes (as ours does at home) or if there was something wrong with the toilet. Nothing went down the toilet other than poop and toilet paper. I would really appreciate your help as I really think that the toilet should have shut off automatically.

I had a installer install granite counter tops but the ogee edges are not as polished as the top. I want to know what grit level the installer should have used to get the correct finish. It appears he stoped at 600 and put gloss liquid. what is the correct process that can be done with a hand polisher on the job sight?

Hello. Has anyone bough one of these vaccumms? I seen the stuff on tv and they seem to work well. To me it seems that it would never clean a whole room. I did see on on shopping network and it seem to just go back and forth over the same area. Was wondering if it worth the money or not?

It's cleaned when it's emptied every fortnight but I still get maggots when it rains - is it because I put dog doo inside(tightly bagged of course).

I have a orchid that is in my bathroom on a shelf. I keep it there because I feel the humidity from the shower gives it the moisture it needs. It bloomed about a month ago. The blooms have fallen off and one of the leaves have turned brown. The stem the blooms were on is also brown. There are 2 nice, green leaves left. Have I lost this orchid or is it still alive. What do I do?

I've got a room in my house that's done up in a deep maroon color, and I want ghosts to appear on the wall when the blacklight comes on. I heard that white crayon works, but I'm not sure. How well does it show up? Is it invisible over the maroon in regular light?

I think I could fall asleep quicker if I had something to look at as I lie in bed.

...because then she won't be able to see me. Should I tape colorful magazine pages to her windows instead because they are more visually interesting? Or do you have any other suggestions? Thank you!
