Maintenance & Repairs - April 2007

My toilet is seriously in bad trouble. I clogged it with a fairly large bar of soap and now it appears to be lodged within it. It's been there for about 4 days. How can I fix it?

I pushed my bathroom door open because I was locked out of it. I can see the inside of my bathroom door, meaning that the hinge and the tiny inside portion where the door is attached to the hinges is not on the remainder of the door. The hinges are still attached to the bathroom door frame, what can I do to fix it?

my husband and i recently purchased a new home (first house), but now he's gone for military reasons. i'm looking for a good guide/checklist of what maintenance to do when and maybe some how-to's. most of the things i've found are for older homes and don't explain things very well.
thanks in advance!

How do you disarm one sensor in a Westec 5000 system? One window is giving a fast flashing alarm signal. The sensor is OK. I think that there is something wrong with the wire in the attic between the sensor and the main box.

Replacement carpeting (we're moving). Looking at about a 15 foot hallway and 2 "average" size rooms that are maybe 12x12?. Just average carpet price and installation associated with something like that, what's a ballpark figure?

It sounds like the water in the toilet bowl is leveling itself out, back to a certain level.

I have a white-westinghouse electric range. The control panel temperature light goes out when it reaches the correct temperature but the element continues to glow red hot. What is wrong? I am a DIYer and would love to fix this myself. Any hints or tips?

I'm thinking of this kind of pump http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cpe100tf-1in-booster-pump-cw-24ltr-tank/path/booster-centrifugal-pumps/brand/clarke

Aside from a non return valve, is there anything else I need to put on the tap?

I want increased water pressure, but not to the extent of a pressure washer.

Thanks

If the inside of a Microwave door had been burned/melted and has caused a small hole, is it still safe to use?.....The hole doesn't go all the way through to the outside...just through the "dotted" layer.

I tried mowing the lawn at my new house this weekend. After about 10 minutes, the engine sounded like it was having trouble and it started to sputter and then it died. I started it again and used it for another minute and then it died again. I couldn't figure out why so I wheeled it off to the garage and looked around. When I start the engine, it runs for about 5 to 10 seconds before dying.I thought it might be the old gas since it was from a tank from about a year ago, but then I noticed that the air filter was missing. In reading the manual, it said that you should never run the motor without the air filter. What should I do? Take it in for service somewhere? Is it worth it or should I consider getting another engine or entire new mower? It's only 3 yrs old - Toro Personal Pace.

Im asking because I have a bit of a problem. I was under the impression that our toilet was clogged because one of the boys put some toys in there. I took the toilet off and nothing. No toys. No obstruction. That I can see or tell anyways. So I put the toilet back on. It only flushes at 10% power. It also leaks in the basement. I know the seal is broke.
Now I have turned off the water to the toilet. Its been a week or so. Now Im getting Air in the kithen faucet. Any chance the 2 are related???? Also do I need a seal for my toilet or a new toilet.

I'm trying to replace a tap cartridge in a shower mixer tap, but the old cartridge just will not come out. The stem sheared right off in handle, so just replacing the washer was not an option. I paid $30.00 for a replacement tap cartridge assmebly, but the defective one will not budge. I've tried a very large pipe wrench on it, but it still will not budge. Is there some trick I'm missing? I don't want to force it too much as I am afraid I will rip the pipes right out of the wall if I get too heavy-handed.
