Water is pouring out of a little plastic pipe, next to the bit where the pipe to the shower head screws in to the unit. Is there any way I can seal this up, as the water is puring out there instead of comng out the head. I can't afford a plumber right now, and I need the shower working!

Is there a benefit to reinstalling a 3 phase 5 ton compressor? Are three phase a/c compressors more energy efficient? Are they more expensive? What is the appropriate SEER? Our KW cost is about 13 cents and we live in South Texas where it is warm year round. Should we also install a new inside air handler?

I just had some old galvanized pipes replaced with copper ones. But now, every time I turn the faucet on, the first water that comes out is brown....within a second or so, it turns clear. Is this something that just happens for awhile with new copper pipes, or does this sound abnormal?

Kids Halloween party is over..... some of the kids found a permanent black marker and had a ball with it. These are 3 to 5 year olds so the markings are all over the house.

How do I remove permanent black marker from a wooden surface without damaging the wood? ( antique walnut ) Also, refrigerator, wall paper, plastic air purifier and just about every surface!!!
I have tried fingernail polish remover on the refrigerator, it only dims the color. De-natured alcohol does no better. Is there some product that will remove the marks off several surfaces?

I just noticed water on the floor in front of my washer and dryer, although I haven't used the washer in about 4 days. I live in a house that is on a slab foundation and wondered if there is water seeping through the foundation, if the plumbing is out of whack, or if there is an issue with the washer. Any ideas?
