When I turn on electric shower water tank drains until it is empty. Then suddenly shower dries up but motor keeps running not pumping any water out. Problem is ballcock won't kick in and start re-filling tank. If I reach in and give ballcock a nudge it starts filling again. Desperate - how do I fix....!!????!!! 10 points if it works........

I recently bought an air mattress and it has a hole in it already. I haven't found the hole in it yet, but when I do I want to know what's the best way to repair it. I'm too cheap to buy another air mattress.

We had a peice of glass, about 5inches x 10 inches in the top middle of the door that we want to replace with something nicer that can swing open so we can see who is outside without opening door. Any idea what that mini door, or glass area is officially called? thanks.

When taking a shower, the bottom of the shower door drips water onto the floor. I've never had a "Closet Shower" before. Just a bathtub with a shower curtain. Any clues as to how to fix?

Replacing the washer helped slow the leak down, but did not fix it completely.

I have a home in Texas. It's on a slab foundation, heavy clay deposits in the area. My drywall is starting to crack, signs of foundation problems. I also have a stuck door.

The door is stuck at the bottom, with a sizeable gap at the top. The drywall that is cracking is separating from the top of the wall, and angling down.

Based on that information, would you suppose my foundation troubles are a result of the ground settling too much? Or is there pressure building underneath my house?

I have a pretty new window AC unit and have been running it all summer. The strange thing I've noticed is that its NOT leaking water to the outside like normal AC units. Every apt or house I walk by with an operating AC unit, I see water leaking/draining out. But not mine..which is strange.

I can hear water gurgling within the unit and occassional splashes so I know theres water moving around the unit...but I dont see any water coming out. I have my unit tilted towards the outside and have yet to see any water coming out.

Is this normal? I find it rather strange and wonder if I installed it wrong? Other than that, the unit works fine. I have a thru-wall metal sleeve in my room that my AC unit is in..not a window. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.
