When I flush, nothing goes down, and the water level continues to rise. What can I do to fix this problem? Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

I recently asked about this and got a lot of good answers but I left out some information that was important. I found the lipgloss in a load of light clothing after I had already dried the load. Does that mean it is set? I can't use spray or rub on pretreats because there are so many stains on a whole load of laundry, I would be there all day spraying and rubbing. Is there something that I can soak the load in that would work as well as a spray or rub on pretreat? I have been soaking them in Oxyclean before washing and the stains have turned into a light pink so I know that it is getting better, but I have washed the same load once everyday for about a week now. Will this mess up the clothing? Will the spots eventually just go away if I keep soaking and washing the load or am I fighting a losing battle? This load has brand new clothes and pillow cases in it, so whatever help I can get will be greatly apprectiated.

I have a cushioned sheet vinyl floor in my kitchen and have moved the washing machine, there are now dents in the floor when the washing machine's feet were on the vinyl. Is there any way to remove or reduce these marks. I have similar dents where the breakfast bar stools used to go. Underneath the vinyl is a slighly cushioned waterproof membrane (as recommended for laying vinyl on concrete). It seems the vinyl needs to slightly shrink to lessen the dents but i don't know how to achieve this. Thanks

She will allow me to cut the tree root, but wants to leave her tree. If I replace my driveway, $3,000.00, and it raises again is she responsible to cut her tree down or pay for repair?

A contractor has removed a radiator from a hot water system. It seems to have altered the heating characteristics of the system. The remaining radiators are only getting warm on the bottom. Should a connecting pipe have been installed after removal of the radiator?. I believe he only capped off the pipes.

Is there any way or place I can get the blades of a paper shredder sharpened. They just aren't cutting right through any more. Useless!

Hope someone can help.

I'm doing a small bathroom remodel and need to create a hole in some beadboard wainscotting for the feed pipe to the toilet. The circumfrance is 2 1/8 inches. My guess is I'll need to buy a circular drill bit so I can create a smooth hole as close to the size of the pipe as possible but I'm not sure what size I will need.

I are looking at an old house to buy and fix up. We went up stairs and on the paneling in one of the roomsis mold and on the rug. The owners said the house use to leak and the paneling curved from the moister. Should we be worried about more damage than what is showing or what should we do? Who do we go through to get a house inspected for stuff like this?

I have a small house with a tree somewhat close up, to the right of the house (when looking from the street). My Peony is tucked in on the left end of the porch, but I have nothing along the front of the right end of the porch (shaded over by the tree). I have tiger lilies that run along the tree and down the right side of the house which are starting to spread down the side, but have only made it about a quarter of the way. I'd like to have something that would work well in the shady areas, but I don't really care for the popular plants like hostas and such, I like different things that aren't seen too often. I'd ideally like to get some colorful (red and yellow - my brother is a Marine - and beachy blues) flowers around the area. I also like plants that 'do something' (attracting butterflies, etc) so big flowers and things like that interest me. Oh, I'm in NW Ohio.

If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. I'm totally open since I'm new at this. Thanks
