I understand I need a special Moen tool to remove the cartridge from a tub faucet.

I can't remove the screw that goes through the center of the plastic faucet handle. It's a single-handle faucet that has broken.

The screw rotates either left or right when I turn it with a screwdriver, but it won't loosen.

Any suggestions?

The screw in the middle of the handle rotates both right and left and will cycle the water off and on, but won't come out to allow me to remove the handle. The faucet is probably about 10 years old.

I am using a pressure washer but it doesn't seem to be enough to get the white oxidization off the siding. Is there a cleanser that anyone can recommend that will not ruin the pain but yet be strong enough to clean the siding as well as the aluminium gutters?

The house has mold problems the & previous owners had to move out. Now it is on the market & the price is approximately half of what it would be if it had no mold. As far as I've learned, there are no other problems such as foundation, roof, electrical or plumbing that could be considered as costly repairs. The appliances will need updating and electrical fixtures also. The bathrooms also need updating. I don't know the source of the mold and can't seem to find out. The lender now owns the property because the original owners could not keep it and do the repairs required by law. What do I do to correct the mold problem if I purchase the house & will I need bio hazard people to get involved? What will be my cost for this? I'm new at flipping with some building experience & do not want to make costly mistakes. I don't want to be discourged but helped with a solution. I was sick & could not maintain my job. Now my family & I need this job. At 54 it is extremely difficult to get a new job.

I have a 1998 Craftman self propelled lawnmower with a 6.75 H.P. Eager-1 Tecumseh engine. Everytime I start it, it runs perfect for about 1 second and then it quits running like someone hitting the kill switch. When I actually do get it started it reves back and forth. You can actually see the govenor pivoting back and forth. What would cause this and how would one fix this problem?
