Maintenance & Repairs - August 2006

i've grown used to my toilet whistling for the past couple months. not sure why it does it but you can hear it fron anywhere in the house. if you turn a faucet on elsewhere, it will change the pitch. it facinates me. the only problems i'm having is recently i'll be taking a shower and then my toilet will just start running, causing the pressure to be lost in the shower as well as it turning scoulding hot (usually while i'm shampooing :( ) any ideas?

Whenever I empty my bathroom sink of water, it comes back up the bath - does drain away though.

Water drains away quite quickly - have used bleach and other products to unclog

Why do you think its doing this? What can I do to make it better without spending a fortune??

Best answer gets the points!!

I have tried to start it, and I can get it to start, but only by taking off the air filter, and manually limiting the amout of air going into the carb. When I restrict the amount of air going into the carb I can get it to run, but not smoothly. I made a restrictor plate for it out of plastic, and that got it to run, but it doesn't have enough power to cut grass, even thin grass. I had the carb looked at, and I was told that the carb was really clean inside, and didn't need rebuilding or cleaning.

I used to have a very dry basement, but recently I found there are some water got unferneath the basement carpet next to the wall after a very heavy rain.

Is it possible that the roof is leaking and the water got into the basement through the middle of the dry wall? No water stain seen in the wall though, at least for now.

I am trying to install a new pipe from the wall valve to my toilet, but I can't unscrew the old part. It has probably been on there for years.

Aluminum siding is essentially maintenence-free, extremely
durable, and is a great insulator, even better than brick. Brick
leaks air through the mortar between the bricks, especially in older
houses that need tuckpointing. My question is, do you feel siding
still has a declasse connotation, or is it getting more acceptable
as the years go on?

I found my hot water tank in the attice was dripping water from the water release faucet at around the bottom of the tank. I shutted the water intake faucet from above and opened the pressure release value on the side. I had this water tank for 7 year now, and I wander if it's the time to replace one. Thanks!

I recently moved. On a few occasions, the glass bulb portion of the light bulbs in my ceiling pot lights have dropped out of the ceiling. The bottom metal part of the light bulbs remain screwed into the pot light. I have never seen this before and am wondering if it indicates an electrical problem.
