When we turn on the water we have good pressure for about 10 seconds then it slowly loses flow and pressure almost down to nothing. We checked all the valves and they were turned on.

We think this might be an inline filter that has clogged. Is this possible?

The valve in the picture is leaking too.

What other explanations could there be?

I need them, but I don't know what they're called, so I can't find them! I'll try to explain what they look like.

Square, about 2ft by 2ft.
Colorful, sometimes with pictures or ABCs or something like that.
Edges are like this: _I¯I_I¯I_I¯I_I¯I_ so they can fit together.
Made of rubber or foam-like substance.
You use them to make a rug/mat on the floor.
Sometimes used in kindergarten classrooms.

Where would be a good place to buy them?

I just ran across it on Google with no information about it. I'd love to see more images of it, too. The picture linked here looks like the flower is not fully bloomed.

Now the sink is clogged and when I run the water it fills up on both sides and the drain is real slow. I've plunged both sides and nothing. Do you think the nuts are stuck in the pea trap? If so, or not, how can I fix this problem? I need my kitchen sink, please help. Any tips are welcome. Thanks in advance.

I had major hail damage from a storm. A couple of days later a roofing company was going around checking roofs. He checked mine and said I had hail damage and I signed what I thought was just a form that I had hail damage for my insurance company (It was very hot and humid out and didn't have power for 3 days so wasn't up to reading anything). It actually was a contract to do the work. The problem is in the fine print it says I must give them the full amount I receive from the insurance company. I'm not out to rip-off the insurance company but I would like to get a couple quotes and maybe go with someone where I could cover my deductible. I feel like I was taken advantage of and feel soooo stupid for not reading what I was signing. I had 3 days to viod the contract but it took me 5 days to actually read it. Is it possible to somehow get out of this?

Our old basement laundry tub has got many stains and even some old paint stains. It's one of those plastic type tubs and it's in the workroom so it gets a fair bit of abuse (and gunk). I'm thinking a solvnet might work, but don't want to melt the plastic with something like acetone. I tried bleach with not much luck. Any ideas ?

I want to install 4 seperate 120 v 15a circuit lines for xmas lights to one outdoor location. Do I need 4 seperate single gang boxes or can I put multiples in a larger gang box with each line(circuit) going to seperate recepticles? My gut thinks 4 seperate gang boxes but need to ask for peace of mind.

anybody know how to get it off. What to use. Seems the water hose alone doesn't get it all off. Don't want to repaint the house if a simple solution will take it off.

My problem....I use wash rags for clean-ups in the kitchen and my two year old after meals. I NEVER use the same one twice and have many to use so after one use I throw in the laundry for washing. I'm not sure where the "MUSTY ODOR" is coming from but does anyone know what could be causing them to smell like thant and no matter how much laundry soap and fabric sheets I use the freshly cleaned ones will still smell like that even after being wet down to clean up? And what could I use to get the smell out of them? Or is it just pointless and just throw them away & start over? Anyone have a take on this one? Please help if you can...sorry it's so lengthy. Thank you!
