Home & Garden - 26 July 2007

some of you may be familiar with my situation....

anyway, i replaced the air and fuel filters and replaced the fuel lines- lots of muck in there. the engine seems to have improved a bit but its still not up to my specs. watch the vid:

is the engine supposed to rev higher, as it does when i move the throttle with my finger? why doesnt it stay all the way at the end? there is a small spring attached to that same arm, is that for the governor?
please help! im so close to getting this tractor perfect!!

If i flush my master bathroom toilet while the shower is running, it will cause the shower to drain VERY slow and cause the toilet to sometimes overflow. Also, when the shower is running, the toilet will make a "gurgling" kinda noise like air bubbles are coming up through the toilet. What can i do to fix this without calling a plumber?

I am growing tomatgoes. There are many on the vines, have been there for a few weeks, but are not turning red. This happened last year as well. They never turned red. Why?

Our walls are cream, and the floor is a light maple.

we can be in another room and suddenly hear the toilet flush. Is this a plumbing problem or do we need an exorsist?

I have had a few ghosty experiences.....
Until now I didn't really believe in ghosts.... but for some reason I am really scared of this house.
I spend a lot of time here alone and although I have good heating and lighting etc... the house will all of a sudden go sooo cold and the lights will flicker and sometimes completely go out.
One night while I was in bed, my tv started up, and then when I walked out into the lounge room it turned off.
There have been times when I have come home after a day away from the house and when I walked in the stereo was playing.
I know it sounds wierd, but because I am so remote from anyone else and I have a security system on the house there is no way anyone could have entered the house.

I had a roofer out here and he said that I have missing shingles and some minor hail damage, BUT, I have a noticible leak in my laundry room and you can see the outline of a piece of sheet rock in my livingroom ceiling. Now the paint smell wont go away. I have not painted the closets or bathroom in years (it is a half bath that has no shower or tub in it). Help.

from last year and it had blooms in abundance...the same as this year. Good old fashioned roses you canae beat them for hardiness and glorious perfumes.

the builders renewing our sewer drains discovered a split storm drain or a drain for a spring...no-one knows , its leaking water constantly, our insurance wont pay up, the water company wont take responisbility and no-one, not even the land registry know of this pipe. does this mean that we have to foot the bill for any repairs/ investigation??? what can we do, we are at a dead end and looking at a big bill :(
