It dosen't fill up properly and dosen't flush without topping the water out in the back. So there is not enough pressure to flush it twice in row.

We live in a post-war home with lath and plaster walls. My daugters bedroom wall has holes in it and the plaster is so loose you can push it in and out. I want to knock the plaster off the wall down to the laths and put up drywall. Best way to do it??? Also we have the thick 6 inch high baseboards that dont come off so keep this in mind. I have to make the drywall go to the baseboard smoothly with no hangover. Hopefully this makes sense.

Need help quick. We bought a new programmable thermostat for our upstairs. Once we hooked it up it wouldn't work(the furance wouldn't turn on). So my husband put the old one back on and now that isn't working either(old one was a digital) no power seems to be going to it. And it's very cold and icy here tonight and my baby is sound asleep in her room for now until it gets too cold. Help please

In hanging a few curtains in my new home I came across a problem. In some locations the anchor and screw provided with the drapes worked just wonderfully, but in other places the anchor would push into the drywall and not allow the screw to fit snuggly into the anchor and secure the bracket. It doesn't seem to matter if there's a stud or not in the places it worked. I was just wondering if someone knew what was going on and could give me a solution.
Thanks!!

I asked that question because i was seeking home owners insurance with another company and they asked me that question. My electrical outlets in the house are 3 prong and when I looked in the panel box on the switches I saw that it said 120/240v I am not sure if that is what I should be looking at as far how much amps of power is coming in. I just wanted to know how what answer i would give the insurance agent as to what type of wiring was in the home. I may just call an electrician. Thanks for all the answers thus far.

I have a large basement with cement floor and walls. I want to convert it into a game room, for a pool table, foosball, etc. What is the best thing to do with the walls? I think I want to paint them and possibly do some stencil work of sports logos, etc. (Don't really want to use drywall, etc as it CAN get mildly damp down there when we have local flooding) What is the most durable paint that can be used on cement that comes in colors that would work in a game room?
