I have a home in the midwest. The basement received about 1 foot and a half of water. We have drained the basement by renting something from Home Depot and we bought a generator since we have had no power for 3 days. Now what? I want to make sure I don't miss anything. And I don't want to claim anything on my insurance because the basement was finished but empty.

The pipe under my toilet tank is dripping. I need to shut off the water before applying the sealer. There is a faucet type handle on the pipe. Is this where I shut off the water? If so do I turn it to the left or right?

I am redoing a bathroom (repaint, upgrade, etc.). I am going to replace the linoleum flooring with ceramic tile flooring. I am also going to replace the existing toilet. I am thinking that before i install the new toilet, that I should install the flooring to surround the toilet drain pipe, allowing the toilet flange to rest on top of the new flooring, and THEN install the toilet.

Is this the best way to go?? The only option i can think of would be to go ahead and replace the toilet onto the floor, and then cut the tile to go around the toilet instead of under it. This seems like it would not look right.

Please give advice. Feel free to be detailed with advice too, but try to keep the terminology simple. Thanks in advance for any help.

Does anyone have clear instructions on how to make a Tote bag to carry the flags for colour guard? I was hoping to be able to carry the 5 1/2 and 6 in the big part and perhaps a front pocket to hold the semis. Any help and I love you.

I had a slow drain. So, I used baking soda/vinegar mix to break down the gunk and stuff. Yet, it just broke it down and it settled somewhere making a very tough clog.

I later got Draino Gel Max.... I am not sure if it just not working or the clog is that bad. I left it overnight and it is still there. Even in the sink, that how bad the clog is.

Is it all reacted? What am I going to do with all this stuff? Should I get a plumber.

I was just thinking of buying a snake. Would it be okay to use in the Draino.

I want to go to Lowe's or Home Depot and buy some lumber for my newly bought power tools. I plan on making random things whenever I feel like it and I'm looking for a general all purpose type of wood. I know there are specific woods for specific projects but there has to be something that's okay for everything. I want to build chests, little bookcases, rice paper lamps, stools, dvd cases, or whatever else I can think of. I'd also like to keep it in the cheap to moderate price range nothing expensive I just want to stock up. Thanks.
