i hav checked the bolt and screw they are tight it is actually where the hinge connects to the bit connected to the seat and the bit connected to the lid that is loose. There is no screw just metal that cannot be removed or adjusted in any way. Wondering what i can do. I got it new there is no warranty, it is only about 1 month old. I really dont want to buy another one as this one is really nice. Its really annoying as it moves when u sit on it. Any suggestions.

I recently moved into a 50 year old house and found that all of the wiring was done incorrectly(ie. all receptacles in house on one 20 amp breaker, all overhead lights on one 20 amp, and range,laundry room and furnace on one 30 amp breaker.) . I have done some rewiring before but never on this scale. My plan is to put each of the 9 rooms on its own 20 amp breaker with additional ones for range, hot water heater, and future HVAC unit. Is this a sound idea? Also, I have been reading up on the subject and some recommend using 14 gauge non-metallic sheathed cable and some say 12/2 romex. Which is the right one?

My landlord didn't put enough tiles up next to the shower and has just painted the rest, so some plaster has come right off. I need to fill it in and paint over it but the same will happen again and again. Can anyone recommend something that will do the job but also stop the water from soaking in and causing the damage?

I want to install holdbacks for my curtains which are medium in weight. Is there a certain height/level in relation to the window frame as to where to drill/place the holdbacks? Also, is there a certain distance from the window frame that I should hook it onto or does it not matter at all except to my eye's appeal?

I'm trying to decide between these two toilets. Reviews online show that the Memoirs is a great toilet, but I can't find anything on Portrait. Kohler says they are the same because the flushing system is the same, but why is it then that the Devonshire gets sush bad reviews when it also has the same flushing system??? Anybody with knowledge on this subject?
