Had to turn off water-supply to bathroom. When turned back on, Triton t90si shower powers up Ok but no water comes out. Could this be an air-block, or something else? (Can hear pump working). If an air-block, how do I clear it?

We are renovating our home and the old pine wood walls had some holes. Prior to painting we accidentally filled with silicone tub caulking instead of the correct wood filler--we have tried everything from paint stripper to sanding and cannot get the silicone caulking off. Do you have any ideas to remove it so we can continue to paint and the paint not just roll off the silicone?

I will be moving into an apartment that has carpeting in the bathroom. What can I lay over the carpet to keep it from getting moldy from water splashing onto it?

I will be renting an apartment that only has a bathtub, no shower stall at all. I know there are things that you connect to the faucet so that you can use a sprayer instead of taking a bath. Where do I find something to fix my problem?

I can't lay down a new subflloor, it's an apartment. I've been told I can't put a vinyl floor over another, but there's gotta be some product that'll make it stick, isn't there?

What products can I try that will not harm the cement? Powerwashing is out of the question b/c it breaks the cement.

I am feeling if perhaps I have watched too much Sell This House! I want close to what I need to be able to purchase a house I like and have listed this one for more than that. However, I am finding that I am fixing many of the little things that bugged me about this one (by myself! Thank you very much!!) Updated dining room light, caulked and painted the kitchen to a neutral, left over from when I got rid of the popcorn ceiling (ok, so some else did that.. but they left me extra paint... sooooo kitchen is painted, too) What small things do you see when you look at a house that I can take care of before my dream house is gone?

The home looks like it hasn't been painted in about 7-10 years. The upper part of each strip of siding looks fine but the bottom edges are swelled with water and wet in places, especially lower down on the walls.

without having to replace the stupid thing? I have a crack just down from the side where it levels out into the tub. I have tried silicone/acrylic caulk and it only lasts about 24 hours. I am trying to sell this property and cannot afford to replace a tub. Any SERIOUS SUGGESTIONS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
