Maintenance & Repairs - June 2006

Had to snake a vintage tub (1950s) took over flow plate off. All was fine until reassembling plate cover. Special screws are about 3/4 inch long with a square tip did not tighten up. Hardware and Homecenters offer replacement cover plates with bolts that are standard in design and an inch too long. The overflow plate bracket has no holes to accept bolts of the length Cast Iron tub / galvanized plumbing is ok in other respects. No service panel - area above tub is tiled.

Will be going into mediation tonight after talking to my neighbor about going 50/50 on installing a new concrete retaining wall since the old retaining wall is falling apart. As to the reason we should go 50/50 is because he has planted many trees close to the fence which is on top of the retaining wall and the roots are pushing the reating wall down. Please advise of a book or people I can call to get this resolved.

My fiancee and I just moved in together at her home. The plan is to fix it up and probably move within the next 1-3 years. She thinks that Vinyl siding is the way to go, but I think since the chances are we will be selling the house that I should just paint it myself. We got an estimate for 17k for the vinyl siding and she seems to think that we will get all or most of that back in the resale value of the home. Does anyone have a clue if this is true?

It had soldered tubing, burn marks, and the whole bottom back panel was missing. At its coldest setting it is at 62 degrees. I didn't really look at the back at first, just plugged it in, because it was supposed to be new. I called Sears and told them I wanted them to take it and bring another one, because I didn't want to pay for a serviced fridge, brand new out of the box. After setting up a delivery time, I discovered the burn marks, etc, which concerns me, in case they try to claim that I did it and voided my warranty. Makes no sense, of course, to do that to a newly-bought appliance, but you never know. I wondered if anybody else has had a similar experience. I live in the Dallas, TX area.

I have a 4 foot above ground pool, and a very wet corner of my backyard, I believe I have located the slow leak. There's an area where the sidewall meets the bottom, where the sand seems to have been washed away or compressed, about the size of a softball. I put on my scuba gear for a longer/closer look and it looks like (because of the depression) the liner has been stretched very thin and is seeping. I'd like to make it thru the summer so then I can empty it and replace the liner in the off-season. What type/kind of patch can I use that can be applied under water and will stick well? I got some vinyl patches at my local pool store and they were crap, didn't work well. Any kind of underwater paste, glue, patches, etc?

I bought a home in an upper-middle class neighborhood. It LOOKED pretty clean and well kept, but after I moved in I realised that it was only cleaned well enough to appear clean and apperently little maintence was done on it. I have spent months dealing with all of this (full time) and have a ton more to do. And we had friends move into the same neighborhood recently and theirs is in worse shape then ours!
What is wrong with people? Do they have no pride? I can't beleive they raised their children is such messes.
