It leaks only after you flush the toilet a lot.
Will caulking around the bottom fix the problem or make a bigger problem??

I had a tech come out before and he said it was just a loose screw and he found a nail in between the seal. Now 2 months later it is screeching again and it looks like it has been rubbing against a metal piece underneath the drum.

I have a GE Long Vent Super 7.0 CU FT Capacity gas dryer Model # DLSR483GEWW

Please help me!! I think that it's scraping on the front glides but I don't know how to repair it.

When I turn on the hot water at my kitchen sink and then turn the cold on too much, the faucet shuts off and I have to turn it off and try again. Do I need to just go buy a new faucet? It is kinda old.

I have a spring attached to the throttle linkage, that must attach to the choke linkage on the other end. I can find no hole where it might attach. This is for a Murray push mower Model # 22541X92D w/ a Briggs engine. The loose end of the spring is shaped like a paper clip, approx 3/4" long, I assume it is shaped like this to let the governor to work freely. There is a loop in the governor connecting rod, could it attach there somehow? The choke does not operate at present when the throttle is moved.

The house that I just bought just had its home inspection done. When he was doing that he saw that the safety overflow pipe was made of PVC piping instead of the required copper pipe. The reason was that the PVC pipe cannot withstand the required temperature of 210 degrees. I'm wondering about how much will it cost to replace the PVC pipe with copper pipe? Just a rough estimate so I can figure out if it is worth asking the price to go down.

The disposal how been working. This is a weekend place. I always turn on water first then flip switch before putting anything in it. When I flipped on the switch it hummed for a second or so & then nothing twice in a row; so I didn't put anything in it. I checked that it was plugged in under the sink & that plug-ins work properly. I also found what I think is the re-set button; it didn't help.

Can the grinding blade get froze up? Is it possible there's a wire loose in the wall switch? I need to fix this myself without curling my hair! Thanks much for all suggestions.

I am buying a house and the water heater is the orginal water heater. The house was built in 1991, making the water heater about 15 years old. I was told the average lifespan for a water heater is 10-12 years. My house inspector looked at it and said there was no current issues. Should I be concerned about getting it replaced or asking for an allowance for a new one?

I am a DIY'er replacing plumbing, electrical, heating ducts, and then drywalling to finish my basement. I want to have someone more qualified inspect the work I've done before drywall is hung. What is the process of getting a city inspector to view the work?

Ok so my propane guy told me I have a leak. My tank is empty so there is no pressure and no smell. We dug up the line to the house no holes or any inclination that it has leaked through that pipe. we think it is at the tank but the propane guy told us it was not! How do I go about finding this leak, remember there is no propane in the tank so there is no pressure! HELP!

I have taking the garden wall down because it's falling down & needs to be rebuild. It is made from bricks with indent (I think it's called "frog" indent, which I intend to recycle and use to re-build the wall. But these would not be enough for a new wall though. I have also collected some old, but unused bricks, and they are wire-cut bricks, solid ones, different colour, but I thought I can mix-n-match to get different bricks evenly distributed, without patches of colour.
The question is: can I use these two together in one build? Is there any special mortar that I need and any tips on cleaning reclamed bricks or taking the wall down with minimum damage to the bricks would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I had a shower yesturday. But this morning it simply does not work.

I have checked the wiring in the pull switch. Also looked inside the main shower unit for any signs of loose wiring.

But all seems fine.

The fuse box is fine also.

Anyone with any ideas?

When I bought my house one thing that bothered me was the paint chipping and feeling of the garage floor. Well, I stripped the paint and put Killz (sealer and primer) on the floor.. But what kinda paint do you paint a garage floor with? Oil Base? Water Base? do they make a waterproof paint or should i paint it and put a water sealer over it? I guess I could just ask the people at home depot, even though everyone that works there is about 17 and doubt they have knowledge or experience in painting.

I purchased my home in Janurary 07. I recently started using the A/C. The inside unit was replaced in october 06 The outside unit was not replaced ( i have a heat pump) I noticed the A/C was not working properly and began to call the "professional" who installed it. I told him that the A/C would never reach the tempature I set it on and it ran at least 12 hours a day . He said this is normal LET IT RUN. He did stop by once and put in some freeon. This continued so I called another repairman and he stated there was way to much coolant in it and that he had to take some out and that my inside unit being enclosed in a closet was not going to work he also stated that my inside unit and outdoor unit are not compatable. Today my A/C unit outside burnt up. It couldnt not keep up with the new updated unit inside and it burnt it up. I spoke with 2 professionals today and they both stated to call him up and tell him to make it right or I was going to sue. What do you think.
