Mine just wont work all of a sudden, the rest of the pump is working fine, and is circulating the water throught the other outlets. But theres no suction from where the creepy crawly is attached too, so I suppose what I really mean is why is there no suction there?? is this a big expensive problem or just something simple?? any suggestions greatly appreciated

The gas furnace is about 30-35 years old. I know what you're going to say..............., but it's working fine. I just would like to save some money, as to not have the pilot light run all the time.

I know it is stange sounding, but the plumming started stopping up, so we called the plummer and they found roots in the entire house and in the line all the way out to the alley! Has anybody else ever had this problem or heard of it? and do you know what to do for it? The plummer pulled a bunch out, but there are still more and they said they would just grow back again.

I just installed the new doorknob tonight, the bolt fits into the striker socket on the door frame, but everytime I close the door it just pops open again. What am I doing wrong, it seems like the door is messed up but I don't know.

Saw something about the tensioner, I take it those are the small pulleys? What needs to be done with them? Do I need to raise the mower on ramps to make easier? No experience. Are there diagrams out here somewhere?

I have one shutoff for my clothes washer that has two supply openings, these are copper and threaded. I have used pvc adapters ( one end treaded, the other female)to take it from copper to plastic. When I use Oaty all purpose cement and primer it start to leak with 6 hours. I used plenty of cement and let it sit for 3 hours to dry, and also made sure to seat the pipe and twist the 1/3 to make sure it was in. Any other ideas how to make this connection. Thank you .

They were painted white about 4 years ago. I keep them clean and do not smoke in the house. It was Laura Ashley paint from Lowes, not a cheap paint.
