Maintenance & Repairs - September 2006

I know this sounds kind of skeezy, but honestly I just bought a lot of clothes for school, and I have a couple sweatshirts and the lady at the counter must've forgot to take them off. The alarm didn't go off when I left the store (I don't even know if it has one), but... I need to get those things off, and I don't think I'll have time tomorrow to stop at the mall before I have to drive to college for the year. My dad tried with some random tools to no avail. Anybody know how to remove them? They're the offwhite rectangular ones with the pin connecting it to the shirt, no ink or anything. Thanks

We just bought an older house (65 years) and we discovered in the basement that the metal pipe that drains water from the house has a very small, thin crack that is about 1 ft. long. When the water is turned on in the house, it leaks a little bit of water. We only noticed it because the concrete at the base of the pipe was slightly wet. We are looking to see if anyone can tell us how to fix it so we can take care of it ourselves. Thanks.

My bathroom door is locked. It is the kind of lock where you push and turn the knob. There is no one inside, and I'm not sure how to unlock it. Can you help?

Is this serious? Is this normal? Will it resolve itself or is this going to cost me money. We are having alot of rain, but this is the first time it ever happened.

Is there a coating I can apply to the top of it to help it last or do I have to replace the concrete itself?

Clueless homeowner here.. The paint on the garage is peeling and cracking and needs to be redone before CA rainy season begings in a few weeks. What do folks recommend? Is there an electric paint stripper that would be best? Any tips much appreciated.

I have a pressure washer that I have enjoyed; however, it always runs out of gas while I am using it. I then turn all of the gadgets off, refill it, and then begin the process to start it over again. It will not let me restart. If I let it cool down completely it will usually start, but I was wondering if there was a reason it did this and if there was something I could do to keep from having to wait so long in-between working. I am only able to do about a third or a half of a project at a time.
