I have recently refurbished an antique clawfoot tub. I special ordered the drain assembly that comes in the original size of 1-3/8". The only problem is in the floor is new 1-1/2" sch 40 PVC. I failed to research how to adapt the 1-3/8" to the trap. Of course all places only carry 1-1/4" & 1-1/2" trap adapters. Can anyone please tell me where to locate the adapter I need to complete this?

I have a top loading maytag clothes washer that rocks back and forth on spin cycle. My load is as balanced as I can get it but it still rocks. Is there a quick fix?

I was just noticing at least four questions in Home and Garden/Garden and Landscape on this subject. What's up?

Everthing about my apartment right now is great except for one thing. The ceiling and floors are very thin in the building and I am constantly hearing the people above me walking around and making noise. I'm on the 4th floor of a 5 floor building. I need to get to the 5th floor so there is no more noise. That will probably mean moving into a studio apartment, because there are no one bedrooms available, and it may take several months or even years before one is, who knows. The noise is really driving me crazy. Should I just take anything on the 5th floor?

A couple times when I've come home things have seemed off. I keep losing things. My apartment is pretty small and I don't have a lot of stuff, so I am able to check through everything I own fairly easily. I wouldn't think that somebody had been in my apartment just because of losing things because it's possible I've lost them outside of my apartment, but I'm losing a lot of stuff lately. Also, a several months ago I lost my wallet with a set of keys attached. This morning I noticed it was rather cold in my apartment even though I had the heat on pretty high. Turns out my window wasn't locked. When its not locked, there is a gap and air comes through. The last time I opened my window was due to setting of the smoke alarms. I know I locked my window then. I'm sure I would have noticed the cold air coming in before now if I hadn't.

So anyways, I'm just wondering if there is a way to tell if I'm going crazy or if somebody is coming in.

What should I do with it (burn it, bury it, send it to landfill, other?)

I work out at the gym, and I wear a white wife beater because I sweat, and I hate wearing t-shirts. However, after a while, under arm stains appear and I tried bleaching them, but it doesn't work. Is there anything else I can do?

There are several people on Ebay selling "SECRETS" on how to recondition weak or dead cordless tool batteries. This sounds to good to be true. Since the price of replacement batteries are very expensive I am very interested. Anyone have experience with this?

Here's the thing. I live in a rented flat. The electricity bill has been unsettled for almost 2 years now. The previous tenant hasn't paid any elecrity because the bills were addressed to an even earlier tenant (who apparently disappeared without paying the rent or the council tax or the energy bill...)
So the previous tenant contacted the electricity supplier but got nowhere. I wrote them a few emails and got nowhere. They say they are not my energy provider, but at the same time they send out bills.
When they sent a warning about cutting the electricity off, the landlord contacted them, gave them the serial number of my meter and all... they said they'll send me a "welcome" pack (in MY name) in 28 days... I never received anything.

What can I expect to happen?
Anyone here with a similar problem?

I'm putting in a gas fireplace and using the bricks as tile.. The bricks would be too thick and heavy in the location I'm using them if they were whole. I'm using the bricks because they are old bricks from my house that I've saved so I could use in projects that I want to match the rest of the house. My contractor says he'll have to rent a brick saw. It's 10 degrees here. Is this probably going to be a wet saw? Am I going to have to wait untill spring?
