Any ideas how I can increase the water level down my toilet pan? Obviously if I pour water down the loo, the water level sorts itself out round the u-bend and stays the same. It just seems to look a little low. Any ideas? Can I top up the water level in the cistern thing?

Any plumbers out there got any ideas?

Was wondering where I could buy a tool that would plan the bottom of the door without actually having to take the door off the hinges. I know one exists but just dont know the name of it.

My son's dragon figurine's wing broke off during shipping, and since I cannot return it or exchange it (EBay) I am forced to try and repair it. I've never had good luck fixing miniatures, figurines, or anything else made of a poly resin, porcelain, or ceramic. I've tried super glue and construction adhesive, both did not work. I was able to clean most of the failed attempts off though so I have a semi clean working surface. Any advice would be great, as this was his Christmas present.

Two cleaning questions...

First, the whiteish linoleum floor on the bathroom floor of my apartment has some yellow stains that seem to be from a reaction to something and the bath mat that covered them. Anyone know how to get those off?

Second, we have white walls in the apartment and I am looking for the best way to cover old nail and other hanging holes.

of the machine.I bought it used. My problem is that it doesn't collect lint. None. Ever. I would actually appreciate this if it weren't for the fact that I picture it bursting into flames one day. Anyone have any ideas, besides "never buy a used appliance"?
