It is cement with a cement half circle cap, but no sprikler head like on a septic system. The current owner says she doesn't know what it is, and I'm just afraid it may be an old oil tank. If you don't know what it is, any ideas of how I find out?
Thanks everyone!

have a thirteen foot banister with nineteen turned newels (approx every eight inches). Upper portion attached to a wall, terminates in a vertical piece on lower floor. Other than most all being rounded surfaces, not any difficult to coat features. Now has a pickled stain finished (my guess) with polyurethane. I want it white. My guess is that the job will require degalzing, primer coat, and finish coat. The market is a Southern state capital, middle class residence/neighborhood.

What's a reasonable price range for the labor for a quality job? Is there a formula?

I have a 3-way light switch in my home. Last night I turned it on and heard a crackling noise. I smelled hot wires , so I shut the switch off. I'm very afraid that this may start a fire in my home. Any ideas as to what's causing this and how can I fix it?

We have a well and septic. Water pressure at the pump is great. You can turn the valve on at the tank and it gushes from there. Water pressure in our upstairs bathroom shower and sinks is very poor. Even when the pump kicks on, the pressure is not that great. Any suggestions as to what would cause this and a way to fix it?

We are going to replace our current old wood floor boards and we like stained oak planks. Does anyone have this type of solid wood oak flooring - I want to know just how well it wears - will it mark easily (stilettos etc;) it will be laid in our lounge and dining room and a small hallway so fairly heavy traffic areas.

I've been told if I take it down, that's legal; but if contractor does it w/out a certificate then he is breaking the law. How dangerous is "low risk"? Years ago I removed asbestos sheets from a garage roof, having been told by Building Regs. people that the asbestos products were over 90% cement and the asbestos used was not the dangerous stuff, like they used in lagging pipes. Presumably my old gutters and soffits are the same as they were put up 40 yrs ago. I'm now very confused , it seems to be a case of double standards. Any help appreciated,thanks

We have an outlet pipe from the bath and sink that have very little angle to them and keep blocking up. Nothing seems to completely cure it and we will replace them ASAP.

But in the mean time we have used several commercially available unblockers and used caustic soda in every possble strength combination and in conjunction with a plunger.

Now out of ideas!

Has anybody got any other ideas to keep it clear until we can replace it next year?

"Natural" remedies IF possible, although dynamite and flame throwers MAY soon be considered : -)

Many thanks

Gary

I was wondering if I could get up in the loft and sort it myself with your advice or do I definately need a plumber. Sometimes it stops for a while, then starts again with a vengeance.

Looking for helpfull answers - Get a plumber is not helpfull !!

Water from kitchen sink is coming up the bath plug hole when its drained. This is also the case from the bathroom sink.

At first it would eventually drain off but now the bath is totally blocked. I have tried plunging and pumping to no avail.

Is Costic Soda or similar products a good idea or do i have to remove all of my bath panels and start checking ubends etc for blockages?

My refrigerator is not getting cold but my freezer works fine. I turned all the knobs to the coldest and it's still not getting cold. Is there anything i can do at home without calling someone to come fix and charge me a lot?

My washing machine just keeps draining all its water! I start the cycle, and it starts the water onto all the clothes...but the water never fills up! Where is it going?!?! Then it starts trying to wash the clothes, sloshing back and forth, but the top half of the clothes are DRY! I made sure both hot and cold water faucet things are turned on, and have checked under the washer on the floor and its dry. What is wrong?!!? PLEASE HELP.

My extended family is coming over this weekend for a birthday. The problem is, I am going to be out of town and don't want anybody going in my room messing around with my personal effects (I've already had to do one hard drive reformat because of it). The culprit is my 6 year old cousin who for some reason will not listen when I tell him not to go in there (and my aunt, god bless her, refuses to discipline her child). Is there a way to prevent him from getting in there while I'm gone, while still being able to open the door with relative ease when I get back?

I will be gone for most of the day. I have about a quarter inch of space under the door when its fully closed. Buying a locking doorknob is not an option. I won't be paid in time to have enough $ to buy one and my mother won't let me install it anyways.

Recently, I have been hearing what sounds like dripping in one of the walls in my downstairs bathroom. However, it seems like the leak is only heard when I flush the upstairs toilet. My father seems to think that the sound I hear may be normal. However, I feel like it is a recent development which would mean its not normal. I only hear the leak while the toilet is refilling and when it quits, the leaking sound goes away. So, I don't know if that is strange or what. I don't want to open the wall if there is no leak but at the same time I don't want to wait until there is alot of damage to fix the leak. I just wanted to know if there was a way for me to know definitively that there is or isn't a leak before I hire someone to tear up my wall.
