I'm a dude currently living with 3 FEMALE roomates ... and I share a bathroom with 2 of them ... now, before the 2 moved in, the drains in the bathroom worked GREAT and I had NO problems with neither the sink nor shower drains. But now ... both are draining awfully slow and I find loose hair all over the place!

So I have two questions:

1.) How do I unclog the two drains most effectively?

and

2.) Do any ladies out there have any ideas as to how we can totally bypass this problem in the future?

Thanks!

Our composite decking was horribly stained from dirt and muddy paws. Cleaning still left blotches so we stained it. It looked great for a week, then started to get dirty again. This time when we cleaned it (with an approved oxy-type deck cleaner) the stain faded, too. Should we stain and seal? Darn you, composite decking! You are not as maintanence-free as promised.

I moved in to a 3 bed property of the councils after waiting 6 months in a emergency accomadation. I collected the keys straight off some one from maintenance department who had been fitting in central heating. No one else came to inspect the house and a old lady had lived there for over 20 years before me which you can tell. Everyroom badly needs decorating, a lot of the walls have holes and cracks in the skirting boards are damaged thes left over screws and nails still sticking out all over the place and any that have been removed have just left a very noticeable hole behind and when you touch it it just crumbles away creating a bigger hole. The interior doors upstairs are all odd with holes and dents in them. I stripped the living room, re-wallpapered it then had to paint it all basically usig up all spare cash I had to make it look liveable. A month later thes damp on my walls now theyve had to put damp proof in destroying all decoration I'd done and now back to square 1.

My PVC pipes have just recently started to moan. They only do it every once in a while and only for about 5-10 seconds at a time. Does anyone know where I should start looking to repair this?

I live in a townhouse community and when they were selling the concept of using Hardie board they re-did 4 homes and they were great. Now they're installing the rest and it looks awful! You can see nails everywhere. They were countersinking the nails for the sample units, but now they can't? Can you install hardie board without the nails showing? THANK YOU!

It is the shower I used the most in my house, the house is 4 years old. It is located in the second floor, the other bathroom does not have that problem.

When I come home from work and go to refill my dog's water bowl with cold water from the kitchen sink, the water instantly comes out warm. The water then gets hotter before it gets colder. I have not timed to see how long it takes for it to actually get cold. This only happens in my kitchen faucet, no other faucet in the house does this. It has only started to happen over the past month or so. I have spepartate hot and cold shut off valves and they are not reversed under the sink. The hot water still comes out hot. What is going on?

How long do you do at a time? How often? etc...
I've actually been using it, (opening boxes, cutting those horrible little flat plastic strap things that refuse to cut until your at wits end, and zip ties *shudder*) and it would be easier on my wrists if it were sharper.

It is dark finish and it did go through. Not all the way to the wood, though. Is there anything I can do or should we send it back to the company to refinish it?

The circuit is for my garage. The circuit breaker is not tripped but there is no power anywhere along this particular circuit. No lights, no power in the outlets, nothing. Everything else in the house is OK. I tried re-setting the breaker but that had no effect.

To hold bolts(or whatever) in a socket while you are trying to get it in/out of a tight place,I saw some magnets that go inside of the socket,but they are from 10mm to 19mm
I need something for smaller sizes that will hold onto it pretty good for a little while so I get it in or out of a thight place,no room for anything but a extension bar with a socket on it
I tried some tape but it didn't hold good enough
Thank for any help
