Just replaced 2 three way light switches. Most of the time it works fine, but in certain positions it does not work. Is there a way to determine which wires go where?

I have 2 toilets in my home one upstairs one downstairs...the toilet upstairs flushes everytime but the toilet downstairs will only flush 50% of the time meaning you have to take a plunger to it to get the waste to go down..its not stoped up already checked that...anyone out there have any ideas on what could be the problem...knowing that the concept of a toilet is gravity it seems like the water doesnt escape as fast from the flush box as the one upstairs....are there any plumbers out there that can give me some ideas to resolve this toilet problem.....

I want one of the new bath vanities that looks like a piece of furniture; how is the installation different from the old kind? Also, I have metal wall studs, will sheet metal screws work?

If the vanity is smaller in width, it leaves 1" on the side next to a wall, that means it is open on that side and stays open? Or do I move the vanity over so it is flush with the side wall but the sink is not centered over the plumbing?
(I don't want a bigger vanity in a small bathroom, the obvious choice being a replacement to fit the old one perfectly; an older style of built-in vanity would have pieces to cover any gaps between itself and the wall).

Hi everyone.. Hopefully someone can help me. I Washed my husband white polo shirt with black stripes with a red blouse. And ofcourse the shirt will have pink stains from the red blouse. Does anyone know of a detergent that I can use to remove the pink stains.

Thank you in advance,

I'm replacing my fuel oil tank. It has two 3/8" lines coming out of the top of tank running to the pump on the furnace. One enters the pump at the bottom of the pump, the other at the side of the pump. Both lines, once removed, appear to go almost all the way to bottom of tank.
One must be a supply line to the furnace, is the other also a supply line, or a return? If its a return, how do I determine which is which? There is no external filter to indicate which may be a supply, but I would like to install one while I'm doing the exchange of tanks. Any advise greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am hooking up a new whole house humidifier to my furnance and it calls for typical thermostat wire. I have some excess single strand 18/20 gauge wire and was wondering if using that and twisting them along the whole run will somehow effect the current/volts?


The only reason I ask is that on a new electric dog fence, they include twisted wire for you to use in areas that you so not want the dog to get shocked. (ie-it cancels the signal in that area when you use the twisted wire).

Thanks

I am looking at the ones with the freezer on the bottom. I have heard that Amana are a good brand. Any suggestions, complements, complaints about any specific brands would be appreciated. What about GE? I saw a GE Profile that would fit great!!
