I just bought a new shower head (our old one is gross)-But it requires that you take the arm of the shower off. It has a ball head sprayer (?) that doesn't fit into the one that's already in there. I've looked everywhere on the net to find an easy way other than shear elbow grease-but can't find anything? Any suggestions would be much appreciated...short of hiring a professional plumber (don't have the $ for just for a stupid shower head)

we keep flocking our inground pool but it still keeps getting green. I'm thinking the sand needs to be changed in the filter but don't have a clue where to start. Any help at this time would be great.

Does anyone know a GOOD website to find a large selection of plans to choose from?
I've found a couple,but thier selection is very limited.
Thank You

I've got a 4-year old deck and the stain on it has started to peel and flake off. I finished it with Sikkens stain the year I built it (2002) and in 2004. We were thinking we had to strip off the old stain -- but now I'm not so sure. Should we sand it or strip it?

It's a double plug socket and there are 4 screws that held wires before. There are 3 black wires, 3 red wires and 2 green and yellow striped wires. Please help!!

2006-06-29 07:03:39 · 12 answers · asked by hers1357 1

I have used several different kinds, but the wires are still getting weathered and brittle, causing me to lose my phone occasionally, then I have to restrip the wires and redo it over again.

I know I can call the telephone co and have them reconnect it all, but I am not finished with an excavation of where the line must lay ...

And when I am ready to bury the phone lines again, how deep should I bury it and should I use PVC pipes to protect the lines?..

And any other tips Imight need to know? Thanks

I don't know anything about sewing machines, which is why I have the cheapest one I could buy. It's worked fine till now. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do?
