My pool is about 20 years old and is plumbed with pvc. Unfortunately over the last six year drought the clay soil has pulled away from the plumbing and there is a leak(prettybad) by the skimmer. I that isn't hard enough to keep it primed and running the skimmer side of the pool is now 4" higher than the other end (no cracks in the gunnite shell). I need to know exactly what the holes in the skimmer are for. I know one goes directly to the filter and sucks but the other one is for what? And I have a drain cover at the bottom that a former pool guy said not to let leaves build up on but where does it go? Theres no drain mechanism. I have located the leak and know that I or someone tougher than I am will have to dig and replace pvc but I have to create a deeper skimmer hole as I certainly can't "raise or lower the shell".

I want to be sure that I'm not taken for a ride on this home. As I've heard of various scams that people play. Other than the actual land contract agreement, would I the buyer be entitled or even automatically shown any type o f ownership papers, such as a title

The downstairs bathroom just started doing this tonight. It is below the laundry room. It's a brand new toilet in a new house and it's been fine until tonight. Not sure if it's related, but we ran a load of laundry earlier, but we've done that, obviously, many times.

Any literature out there (from an unbiased, independent source) that compares/rates "like" competing AC systems (Tons, SEER, Component Materials, Warranty, Price) from Trane, RUUD, Carrier, Amana, Westinghouse, American Standard, etc.

Every AC company tends to promote the unit that they have agreements (or biggest profit margin) with and always play down the other competitive units. Likewise, pricing in the industry is strenously controlled and not available to consumers (even retail pricing) unless you get a quote, making it extremely difficult to do your research.

I have checked with people around me and they are only getting a $75.00 bill. We are using over 3300 kwh of electricity for one month! Air conditioner is on 75 during the day and 74 during the evening. Water heater is set to 140 degrees but not heating our water. All our appliances are very energy efficient. Electric company checked the meter and confirmed working with no problems. PLEASE HELP!!!

Sometimes my toilet won't flush all the way. Sometimes it does. Once in awhile, in morning the toilet is bone dry. The bowl will fill with water, begin the swirling motion, then kind of fizzle out and it all of the water won't go down.

It also says it's a "cold galvanizing compond", which I'm not sure what that means. So can it be used as a spray paint to paint metal garden furnture?

Our Texas soil is clay. We are told that we should have a soaker hose along our foundation in dry summer months so that the soil under the foundation will stay moist otherwise, we take the risk of our foundation cracking. I have heard different amounts of time that the water should be soaking in. I also heard that too much will also cause damage. I wanted to know if any one knew the proper amount.

We have a stackable frigidaire electrolux dryer, it has a very loud buzzer that rings before the dry cycle is finished and I'd like to disconnect it. Its so loud I practically jump out of my skin when it goes off and there's no way we could put a load in to dry and go to sleep with that thing going off.
