Maintenance & Repairs - May 2007

I have a brand new shower door. And the bottom track is only about four inches long. ( More like a guide.) it is made out of a soft plastic and is supose to snap in. But it wont stay in. I tried a block of wood with a hammer to drive it in. But that didn't work either. I was going to try to glue it but was told I shouldnt do that . Please help. Thanks in advance.

This question is a follow up to an earler question. I ran my moms under ground sprinker for the first time this season. I noticed three things.1) the programs on the control panel were not working. the same couple of heads would keep running no matter which zone i set to run.
2) it appears that there were multiple zones running at once.
3) as a result of number 2, the pressure at the heads was poor.

I heard the i might need to adjust the control valves in some way?

Does what I am describing make sense and how do i fix it?

A buddy of mine told me the contractor who blew them out in the fall did this intentionally so he would have to come out for the opening so he could earn a fee

Thanks

When we start to shower, the shower head is quiet, but after about 5 minutes, it starts to "scream, or squeal" and it doesn't let up until we turn the water off. We also seem to lose pressure when this happens.

the other day I stupidly left a shirt in the sink trying to clean off a spot and left the water running with the shirt in the sink, thinking the water wouldnt overflow, I took a shower and got out to find water everywhere all in the bathroom, and the hallway and into a downstairs room off the bathroom, the carpet {cheap berber}; was soaked, I used old sheets to try and soak up the water, but I dont have a shop vac so I just let it dry on its own, I feared it would start to have a mildew smell, and today my fears came to pass, its starting to have a mildew smell, how can I get rid of that smell...?

Signed,

Dummy....

Recently we moved into a new house. We checked all the faucets in the bathrooms and they work wonderfully-my kitchen sink does not. The cold water in the kitchen sink runs fine but the hot water does not(it is a trickle). We have changed the faucet and can't figure out what the problem could be, since it is the only problem with the water. Any ideas?

Does anyone have a natural solution to help remove the damp, musty smell from a basement? I have used the commercial pellets before, but I'm hoping for something non toxic. When I turn my AC on, it pulls that smell up through the entire house.

I have textured ceilings and I want them smooth. Is that even possible? If it is I need to know the quickest way. New drywall is not in my budget right now. Any tips would be appreciated.

Hi all, I went on vacation and forgot to turn my water heaters to vacation! When I returned the water was cold coming through the faucet. After some investigation I realised the water heater pump had tripped the trip switch on the main electric panel. I reset it and thought all would be fine. Now it is OK for a day or two and then it trips the electric panel again. Any Ideas on what is the matter and how I might fix it? The water heaters themselves are fine and are burning all OK. Many Thanks!

Suddenly the kitchen (Price Phister) single handle faucet is making a rubbing/squeaking noise. It is 11 years old. Is there anything I can do besides replacing the entire faucet?

Obviously this means that currently we cannot turn off our water if we have a leak or need to do some plumbing. We have just bought the house and the lack of stopcock was not mentioned by our solicitors or anyone else. We don't know if they were legally obliged to tell us. Nobody is actually living next door, and that property is owned by a housing association. We guess in order to get a stopcock fitted in our house we will have to get next door's plumbing turned off whilst the work is done. Any advice would be welcomed, as we know nothing about plumbing!

i have a very basic push mower, 4hp Briggs and Stratton. Probably 8 years old. I tried new plug and new idle/governor springs. once started, the engine speed just surges up and down over and over. ran great for years before this. happened out of nowhere. it wont really cut grass either, the load on the engine just kills it. thank you
