Maintenance & Repairs - October 2006

I am installing a 1/2 bath, the toilet will be about 8 ft. from the main bathroom, the sewer line comes out of the ground undre the house and has a 2" y that goes up for the sink and then thru the roof for a vent this 2" line also has a y in it that the bath tub drains into. My question is will I need to run another 2" line thru the roof to vent the new toilet and sink?

Im not sure why it happens. It's happened on both the main and second floor but mostly in the upstairs. I haven't been able to connect this issue with anything else that's happening in the house at the same time. Just sometimes I notice that the water in the bowl is really low, like less than half of the 'normal'. I heard something about it on tv once, but I didn't hear enough of the segment.
Is it an indication of a problem somewhere? It doesn't stop me from flushing or anything, I'm just wondering why.

1. Do I hook up the compressor and open one zone at a time by using those "1/4 turn" valves inside the box outside?

2. I have more than one ground box with those valves in it in different parts of the yard. Do they operate independently from the main box near the house or does a specific valve inside the main box need to be opened for the valves in one of those smaller boxes to be activated?

3. having trouble finding the right compressor fitting - i think its 1/8" but the fitting I have looks like it has tighter threads.

4. This is a clean/dirty system which uses well water - because of this is there anything else I need to consider?

I am discovering that everytime I change the lightbulbs in my house they quickly burn out. All of the lights are recessed and then sometimes when they are on for a while they turn off for some time then come back on. What's the problem?

We just moved and there is something dead and decomposing somewhere. We can't find it after a 2 day search. How long does it take to completely decompose and quit smelling so bad?

My ceiling/tiles have been leaking since Oct. of 2005. It only started with one tile but became worse over the year. It literally rains inside my apt. when it rains out and has affected 11 tiles now. I made the mistake of only putting a request in writing for repair once but have documented every conversation, days they came in to look at it, days when it was supposedly fixed, and a few weeks ago when a professional finally came in. (The pro did say to call if the problem wasn't fixed.) My landlord told me several times that if worse came to worse they would put a tarp over the roof. I have requested this repeatedly and this much I have in writing. I paid my November rent and the landlord(s) said that they don't want to deal with the "leaks" problem anymore and that they just wanted to use the apt for storage. IMPORTANT: They have not been claiming this apt. on their taxes (it's connected to their house) for the last 13 yrs and I believe they are afraid to get caught. Mold too

I had to replace my Refrigerator Evaporator Fan (GE part WR60X10074) but it turned out that the problem was the system board (I hope). Anyway, my question is, how does the motor fan work. I see it is DC 9.7V and 3.25W. There are four wires that go to it, so would it be correct to presume there is some kind of relay that turns it on and of inside the motor houseing? The wires are white Blue Yellow and Red. I checked the harness and the Red has a positive voltage of 12-13v. Does anyone know the specifics of how this motor should work? What wires to connect to what? I would like to use the old motor for a followup project.

My bathtub drain is clogged and I was wondering if anyone knows any home remedies for unclogging it. I need to use the shower before I leave so I wanted to find something at home I could do. A plunger won't work because I have one of those drains with a plug that you pull up and down and a plunger just pushes it down. So if anyone as any ideas let me know. I do have another shower I can take I just wanted to use that as a last resort.
