We have a 3 gallon flush toilet in our house that is about 14 years old. Recently it started flushing very poorly, it would clog with the slightest amount of paper or other stuff in it. I have plunged it, snaked it, but I am hesitant to remove it yet, because if I pull it up I might as well replace it. Would changing the flush valves on the inside of the tank make any difference?

In August I purchased a Frigadaire dryer. The one in the store was white but the store shipped me one with a stainless steel top. Does the dryer kit come with the dryer or is it an accessory and thus additional cost? I live in a rural'pioneer' community that depends on a mailboat and returning it is not an option. I faxed the company and got no reply. I would like to know because the kit is needed to let out the hot air and it should not be additional. The store did not tell me the kit was additional when I purchased it. I bought desks from them and one desk had no instruction booklet. The chair for the desk had a hole in the seat. Frigidaire dryer owners please answer. Others can comment too.

I'd like to paint my bathroom with a technique I believe is called "glazing." It's two different colors of paint and the finish looks kind of crinkle-ish. Can anyone tell me how to do it? Thanks!

...Just so my neighbor stops telling me 'I knocked on your door,but you didn't answer! I know you were home because your van was there!'
(there are valid reasons why I do not answer the door when I see it is her!)

I moved to an apartment in a new area and along the edge of the bathtub closest to the wall is rust. My cousin gave me flatware and some of them ended up rusty after being left in water. My niece bought another flatware set and baking pans. We soaked the pans to loosen the stuff that stuck to the pan after baking and the result was rust.What causes rust and how is it removed from utensils etc.easily? I live in a pioneer rural community with no big department stores/malls and gas at $5.00 a gallon so I need basic home remedies.

I break 2 to 3 vacuums a year. I sew in 3 different rooms in house and i have threads everywhere. I bought a push restaurant type of broom to pick up most threads but there is still a lot left. The threads tangle on the brush rollers of vacuum. I clean these twice every time i use it but it will eventually freeze up and i burn up another motor. I now buy very cheap models since i break them. Any ideas on models or techniques on cleaning brush rollers of threads and dog hair?

We live near a highway and whenever a big semi goes by one of my windows rattles. They are all shut well. It is a bow style window with three windows. I'm not even sure which of the windows it is that is making the noise, but it is driving me crazy!!!

I'm trying to figure out what is the most cost effective and efficient way to heat my small two bedroom house (approx. 1000 sq. ft.). I currently have oil heat, however, I am planning on a small remodel and would like to change the heat system at that time. I'd like a system that could expand if I ever add on to the house.
