the shower in my bedroom has a lever that you can flip up to stop the drain to take a bath. the lever hasn't worked since i moved in and the shower drains really slow. i took the two screws that hold the lever onto to the wall off to see if the rod or cable or whatever had come disconnected and there was nothing attached to it or behind it and i can't feel or see anything down that hole. how can i fix it so i don't have to stand in a pool of water every time i shower?

Why does all these plumbing problems happen on weekends?? :(
The last couple of weeks, turning on the hot water in my bathroom shower, the water hasn't been coming out that well, I have to turn it almost all the way to get a good stream (only the hot water knob). I was going to replace the whole faucet this weekend (as it is pretty old), but as I was taking a shower tonight, turning the hot water on, there was a LOUD rumbling noise, sounded as if the pipes were violently shaking. I immediatly turned it off. Anyone have any idea what's going on? Oh, I am running city water, btw.
Also, will replacing the facuet for a new one help? :s

I have waited forever to purchase new appliances and have finally gotten a stainless steel fridge, microwave, and a gas stove that has a black stove top and stainless steel trim etc. I am having an awful time trying to get the black part to look clean! I've used Windex, Dawn soap and water, a commercial cleaner and the top usually looks cloudy or "smeared". Help!

I only just defrosted it and already there are long strands of frost coming from the top of it, and it feels damp. It is causing problems because eventually the freezer door won't close which in turn stops the fridge door from closing.
