I just bought a beautiful gently used wood rocker but it squeaks. What is the best oil to use for a good piece of wood furniture? I have olive oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, grapeseed oil, castor oil and mineral oil already on hand. Will any of these work without doing harm to the wood? I'd prefer a natural and inexpensive solution.

The two toliets upstairs have stopped up. One stopped up and I plunged it with no luck. I went to the store to get some Drano and the other toliet stopped up when it was used next. At this point I have tried 3 different liquid clog busters. None have had any effect. I removed both toliets and ran a 20 foot auger down both drain lines.
Water still stands in both. I tried some more clog remover and it still won't help.
No other drains are stopped up.
Anybody have any suggestions before I call a plumber?

We have an air to air (i.e. not ground source) heat pump with additional heating coils. I have replaced the filter and reset the thermostat. The fan works but the unit will only pump our hot air. Any suggestions on which part might be affected?

We bought a house and the pool water was green. We have been trying everything to get it clear. Right now it is a cloudy blue. We have shocked it and used a product called yellow out. We have all our levels right except the chlorine. It is suppose to be 2-4 and it is a .4. And that is with 2 tablets in our skimmer basket and we just shocked the pool less than 24 hours ago. All other levels are good. No green is left the water is blue but cloudy. Yes we have cleaned the filter (a sand filter). What could be messing up the chlorine level?? Is it safe to swim if you can't see the bottom? What should I do next??

I have a 24x24 detached garage that has numerous cracks that go all the way througn the thickness of the slab and also from one side to the other so that they can be seen on the outside. Some cracks are close to 2" wide and several inches deep and there are variances of about 1" in heigth between some of these cracks. One crack in particular goes along the back right next to the sill plate. The garage also needs to be raised a few inches to get it above ground level.
So I have been contemplating two options to fix these problems:
1. Lift the garage and a place 8" block around the foundation, bring in sand so that 4" of concrete can then be poured on top.

or

2. Lift the garage and form around the foundation and then be in some sand and concrete.

Does anyone know what would be the best way to go and what steps would be the best?

I live in Iowa and have to deal with temperatures from 100+ to 20-.

Thanks for your knowledge and assistance.
