Are they safe? Are they efficient? Do they save money? Is there anything you don't like about them?

My condo board refuses to allow unit owners from having a satellite dish on our roofs. I was recently told that this is in direct violation of an FCC ruling. Is this the case?

I have 3 toilets in my house that aren't running just right. One keeps refilling and two have a floater that gets stuck sometimes. If I tap the floater it works, but I have to open the tank about 1/2 the time.
I am NOT handy, but these repairs fall to me in my household. Is there any real benefit to diagnosing the exact problem and replacing just that or should I just junk the innards and replace the toilet works? It seems to be only about 16 bucks for the works at the hardware store.
Also, there seems to be a lot of black crud in the tanks. Could a previous owner have used the dread toilet tank cleaners that degrade the rubber of toilets and if so is there anything I should do about that now?

I noticed the dishwasher wasn't getting dishes as clean anymore. Then water started hanging out in the bottem. Now it's pretty full of water that has no desire to drain. Could this be the dishwasher itself, or maybe a hose or something? Has this happened to any of you?
Thanks so much for the help!

what does it look like all year?
it blooms for very long?
How does it compare to the look of "Clethra" or "Summersweet"?
How would you describe the look of it?
Victorian? informal?

how to repair a seam on a canvas window awning

What do you guys use for regulat maintance of drainage? My bathtub was blocked a couple of months back. I tried plunger and auger. Then finally I had to call the plumber. Mr Plumber spent 20 minutes in taking out all the hair in the pipes and gave me a nice bill of $300.

My other bathtub was blocked this month. I used a chemical (purchased from Home Depot) which was very strong and infact comes as a container inside a ziplock. I am not able to recal the name. But it actually did the job. My bathtub is running like anything.

Now, a question for you guys. This chemical was great in opening the chocked drainage. But since it is very strong, I am not sure if I should be using it on a regular basis for preventive care. So, what product do you use for your bathtub, sinks, kitchen etc. And how often? Do you use it every week or every month.

Thanks so much.

I've been commissioned to do an indoor wall mural, and I've never painted one before. The mural is for a little girl's room, and the parents want me to paint: unicorns, a castle, ferries, etc. I'm going with a flat animated cartoon kind of look for everything, but I don't know what kind of paint to use nor do I know the best methods to paint it with.

I would appreciate any information you could give. Thanks!
