Now the sink is clogged and when I run the water it fills up on both sides and the drain is real slow. I've plunged both sides and nothing. Do you think the nuts are stuck in the pea trap? If so, or not, how can I fix this problem? I need my kitchen sink, please help. Any tips are welcome. Thanks in advance.

I had major hail damage from a storm. A couple of days later a roofing company was going around checking roofs. He checked mine and said I had hail damage and I signed what I thought was just a form that I had hail damage for my insurance company (It was very hot and humid out and didn't have power for 3 days so wasn't up to reading anything). It actually was a contract to do the work. The problem is in the fine print it says I must give them the full amount I receive from the insurance company. I'm not out to rip-off the insurance company but I would like to get a couple quotes and maybe go with someone where I could cover my deductible. I feel like I was taken advantage of and feel soooo stupid for not reading what I was signing. I had 3 days to viod the contract but it took me 5 days to actually read it. Is it possible to somehow get out of this?

I'm getting new windows installed in my house and it seems like a good deal, but I've never gotten them before, so I'm not sure. It breaks down to about $500 per window. They are double hung, lifetime warranty, they have weatherstripping inside and are welded together, not screwed. The window itself also has argon (?) and has really nice security features. Is that price typical?

I have a spare bathroom that I do not use at all. Probably in 3 years, but I went in to dust it ans clean it up and I lifted the seat to find no water in the bowl, but water in the tank. My apt complex shuts the water off in the whole complex for repairs. I am afraid to flush the toilet with all the air in the line, and do I put water in the bowl or do I leave it empty and flush...HELP

I have a electric mobile home water heater that is leaking at fitting where the hot water connects. The connection is on the side 2 inches from the top. The connection is plastic a friend told me to put some plumber putty around the connection.

I was reading on the container of the plumbers putty and it stated not to use on plastic.

I have seen the spray foam but did not know if I could use this because of the hot water temp being 120 degrees.

Any Ideals the water heater is only a year old and I hate to replace it. The water heater was not purchaced by me so I doubt warrenty would be good.

My father has an antique projector. He found the manual for it, and apparently, it was printed in December of 1954 by the U.S. Army Department. Currently, he has it wrapped up in saran wrap - causing the book to be slightly bent, and both the projector and manual are outside in our storage shed, in the Southern U.S. heat. Also, if you could, can you estimate the value of the projector, and how do we keep the projector in good condition?
