The faucet for the bath still runs water when you pull the nob to make the water run to the showerhead. Its not a lot but its enough to be annoying. The shower works fine. Thanks.

We just moved here and the people before us left food in the sink. We cleared out the food, but there is still a horrible smell. I have tried pouring bleach down it, and it works for a few minutes, but then the smell is back. I should also mention that it is the bathroom sink, not the kitchen so I can't use the disposal.

Found out the tub has a leak. The wall suround has to be removed.
The floor is wet and rotten(plywood) so the floor must be cut out and replaced by new plywood. (that also means the toillet has to be removed and put back after the floor replacement)
Do you call a carpenter or a plumbmer?

I'd like to add heat to my new home and I'm wanting something small for emergency power outages or "pleasure" heating. I'd prefer something that was small, but maybe had an optional cooking space (like those old small cook stoves you see sometimes), that didn't take up too much space, and cost less than $500 dollars.

Thanks! :D

I have nearly 75 giant liriope plants that boarder my foundation plantings in our front yard. They have been struggling with crown rot most of the summer. I have read all that i can find about what causes this problem, but no ideas or hope that i can save these plants. Has anyone used any fungicide that has helped with this disease? Not all of the plants are infected,and none of them have died yet. I am picking off the affected leaves and removing them from the area by throwing them in plastic bags in the garbage.Any suggestions?

It is so dangerous and the city comes out once a year to look at it and take pictures. License and inspections won't help. I have called the local news and the mayor's office. I have thought about calling the local SPCA and showing them how dangerous it is for the dog. I usually don't let him out there but he needs air when I can't take him out.

I have gotten rid of the swings and built a makeshift fence around it. Please tell me how to get help? This has been going on for over 18 years.

We have a huge loft upstairs that I want to make my room and I want my privacy, someone that came by said he couldn't put a door because it is a fire hazard, is this true? Some attics that are rooms have doors at the bottom, why is this any different? If it is true, how can I go around it to add a door or something for some privacy?

My mom got the book back in the 70's from RD, but sent it back. I would like to find this online if I can for easy reference to the neat stuff in it, like tanning hides and making fur hats; making a woodshop, etc. I got an old Foxfire #1 volume which among other things tells how to make moonshine.
