Home & Garden - 31 December 2007

I had a plumber do work on the toilet. He replaced the flapper on the toilet also. About a month after that I noticed about every 5 flushes the flapper does not go down and seal where it should properly. I then have to reach in the tank and help it where it needs to be. I tried a new flapper, it worked fine for about a day and then in the middle of the night when someone flushed, it did not go down and seal properly. Next flush it is fine. I did notice that adjusting the handle position helped it a little but it still is not right.
Thanks for your help.

We have no windows in our bathroom, but we have a ventilator up in the ceiling. After the mold starting growing we kept it on 24/7 and we kept the bathroom door open, but the mold kept growing/spreading. Basically the mold is little black dot in groups. And its making the paint peel. What should I do.

I am currently designing a piece of art work which requires a sheet of perspex about the size of your average blackboard. After researching i found that perspex is quite expensive, does anyone know of a cheaper alternative to perspex for something of this size?

I have a dryer by kenmore that's about 12-15 years old. It still drys fine, but the handle on the lint filter broke. I need to know where i can find used or new filters rather than buy an entire new dryer...which would be absurd. If anyone can direct me to a place where i can find them, you will get the 10 points....simple as that.
