I have a few whetstones stored in a plastic container, soaked in a brown oil. What is the best way to take care of them and how to sharpen my knives with them? (Websites referrals welcome)

have tried using gasoline, paint thinner and can get most off the valves but the engine inside is really hard to clean. Tried wire brush but still cannot get everywhere and i think that is what is making my valves stick. I have plenty of new oil in the bottom of the engine. Is there something I can spray into the engine?

For the last 2 weeks water may run cold after a 15 minute shower, now it just gave out completely. Has a "991" error - Burning Error. It is getting gas, and water, I've tried cleaning the filter and resetting the unit. It always comes back to the "991" error. Any suggestions? I am hesitant to contact them for warranty repair because they say in the manual that it will not be covered unless installed by a licensed plunber, but it was installed by a unlicensed plumber. I'm pretty sure the problem is not related to the installation.

Yeah well my messenger kind of screwed up, like the strap part. I was wondering if a wire tie with Tensile Strength of 18 pounds be able to hold my current weight of 10 pound messenger. I put 2 wire straps but im not sure if it would be able to keep hold of the strap? I left it on a door all last night and the didnt break.

Do you think it will hold off if i put 4 wire ties?

I wanted to get a chemical to dump into the toilet because it drains rather slow when flushed. I went to Wal-mart and looked at products like Liquid Plumber and Drano and all of them say NOT to use them in the toilet.

1. Why?

2. What can I buy and dump in the toilet to clean the pipes and possibly help it flush better and faster?

We're in the city so it's not connected to a septic system but drains into the public sewer system.

Thanks for any help

I am a new homeowner. My home is heated by hot water radiators. They work fine, but they don't heat as well as the radiators in some other places I've lived. I bleed them on a semi-annual basis. Is there anything else I should do to service these radiators? Or should I call in a professional for service periodically? What is a professional likely to do?

Thanks.
