I had it prfessionally cleaned and inspected before I ever built a fire and can't understand why that would happen.

My 2-year-old flushed a small, 2-inch hard, round, plastic toy down our toilet. It is lodged 6 feet down.
I rented a 5/8-inch snake from Home Depot, but the tip broke off. I called a plumber, but their snake broke too.
Our house is completely clogged. Other than digging through the floor to find the toy, is there a way to dislodge the toy, break it up or push it through to the septic tank?

I know you need to use hot water. There is Hot/Cold, Cold/Hot, and Warm/Warm.

Or is just soaking the clothing with the hottest sink water good enough?

Then I dry the clothing at high heat right?

Usually, an 8-day cuckoo clock needs winding every week or so. How come mine has to be wound every two days? Is this a defect?

I just moved from NYC to Southern California. I have always had cats and have lived with my boyfriend/now husband for the better part of 10 years. We have never had plumbing problems before, but ever since moving in to this apartment 5 months ago, we've had nothing but plumbing problems. For a while it was just a slow drain on one toilet. The landlord would snake and it would be fine for a while and then it would get slow again. Then last month, one morning out of nowhere, both toilets and both showers started spewing sewage in unison at 7am! A real plumber came, snaked from the basement/garage and told me to stop flushing litter. Done. Now it seems the toilets are starting to drain slowly again. Can I use rid-ex even if we don't have a septic tank? Any other suggestions to keep things flowing? Thanks!

I live in Sydney, Australia.

I have a Banksia - Birthday Candles in my garden. It has been in for three months. For the first six weeks, it didn't do much but now it has been growing really well - heaps of new growth on it.

Just in the last few days, I have noticed some of the new growth has turned brown - please see my pics.

What could be causing this? I don't want to lose it.

Please help.

I just bought a lava lamp and I was wondering do you remove the bottle cap and then put the little thing on top of it to close it?

I have a house in central Florida. I only visit 2 times a year. The house is left vacant. I recently discover a lot of bugs (roaches, ants, who knows what else...) I wonder what can I do to prepare the house before I leave it vacant for the next 6 months.

When we turn the temperature down to say, 40 degrees F, while away in winter the furnace has to run less. Someone told us it is better to just turn it down a few degrees ( ie. 65 or max 62 Fahrenheit), as it costs twice as much to heat the house back up to room temperature as we save by lowering it. The suggestion was that if we are away for quite a while, like a month, the much lower temperature would save money, but if only gone for a few days it costs too much to get the house warmed up again. Is it true that it costs much more to heat a house back up to room temperature, than we save by lowering the thermostat to a low temperature, and for what length of time would one have to leave it at the lower temperature for it to be a cost saving?
