A plumber once recommended using swimming pool chlorine to help with the slow drain. He said it breaks up the hair and soap scum. Do you know if this will damage my pipes? They are the old metal kind, not plastic.

My shower pipe for the main head is pointing to the side so that the water shoots out towards the wall, any ideas on how to get it to turn back towards the center of the tub? I've tried a crecent wrench, but it doesn't have enough grip to turn the pipe in the right direction.

My garage door often, but not always, will not close at night. During the day, it works fine. But, at night, the door will close to within about 10 inches of the floor then reverse and re-open. The lights on the opener will then flash four times (its a Craftsman) as if there is something blocking its way. (The path is actually clear of obstructions.) Any thoughts? Thank.s

This is a brand new 150 watt bulb, and I've had it plugged into a fixture designed for up to 150 watts, but it isn't lighting up. I don't want my house to burn down.

The stove requires you to turn the knob all the way to the left to light it up. When you do you hear a ticking sound. But even when you are not doing this, I still get the ticking, so I have to pull the plug to stop it. How do I stop the ticking without pulling the plug.

Someone said that the valve needs to be replaced by going into it from the wall behind it. Is this the problem and any easy way to replace it?

I live by myself in a two-story house. After huge gas bills last winter I decided to buy a space heater, close off my bedroom and only heat my bedroom this winter. I would probably be willing to let the rest of the house go completely without heat except I know I need to keep some warmth so pipes don't freeze. My question then is what is the lowest temperature I can allow the rest of the house to be before the cold would cause damage?

15)A homeowner wishes to insulate her attic with fiberglass insulation to
conserve energy. The insulation comes in 40-cm wide rolls that are cut to fit between
the rafters in the attic. If the roof is 6 m from peak to eave and the attic space is 2 m high at the peak, how long does each of the pieces of insulation need to be? Round to the nearest tenth.

Peonie bushes, climbing rose bushes, shrubs.....prune now or when? Also, should I plant potted Mums or let them winter-over in their original containers. It's already been fairly cold so far, does that make a difference? When should I cut the gras for the last time before Winter and how short? I have a green thumb but getting plants to grow needs additional help this time of year?
HELP !!

We had to pull our dishwasher out form under the counter...we're replacing it. Upon doing so, one of our floor boards (laminate) buckled up creating a tee-pee effect? Am I able to "flatten" it back out or do I need to replace the board by cutting and re-fitting a new piece? I'd prefer just "flattening" it if at all possible. Thanks for the help!

protected from getting shocked by a faulty appliance that is plugged into it? Why do I ask? well, This is what it says in the instruction booklet that came with my COOPER GFCI receptacle.DEFINITION OF A GROUND FAULT_ "Instead of following it's normal safe path, electricity passes through a persons body to reach the ground. For example, a defective appliance can cause a ground fault"------And the then it says the following right under that statement--> " A GFCI receptacle does NOT protect against circuit overloads, short circuits, or shocks. For example, you can still be shocked if you touch bare wires while standing on a non-conducting surface, such as a wood floor" WHAT???!!! (Doesn't protect you against shocks?) I thought that was the entire purpose of having a GFCI receptacle. If it doesn't protect you against shocks, then what did I buy one for? That was the whole idea in the first place.Now I'm throughly confused! If an appliance shorts out while I'm touching it,Do I get shocked?
