I had a plumber come out and try to unclog those holes and the hole that lets water out of the basin, and it helped flush successfully for a while. But I still think maybe there is not enough water pressure coming into the basin. So I would at a minimum like to unclog those two holes and see if that helps. Is there something stronger (besides a plumber) than a hanger that would help me break up the clogged porcelain/enamel, whatever is clogging it and that will not break the toilet? Thanks!

I recently moved into a home with a gas oven dating from probably the fiftgies. Anytime i try to bake, if i let it stay in the oven for the amount of time called for, its toast. With bread or cake and i cut the time in half, its well done on the edges and still very doughy in the center.

Our back boiler circa 1978 seems to have blown a green capacitor serving the gas valve. Where can we get a replacement? Do they still make them after all these years and any idea what the part number of it would be or what I should ask for in the plumbing shop? (It's not me who's doing the fixing I hasten to add)

I've just fitted a new low power (flurescent) bulb in a ceiling lighting fitting. However, when the light is switched off, it continues to emit at about 3 second intervals, a faint flash. The bulb has three loops of tubing, of which it appears only 1 flashes. Any ideas?
I've two, but I don't know if they might result in this strange behaviour. It is possible that the light switch is on the 'wrong' side of the bulb (on the neutral side, not the live side). It may also be possible that the neutral has some voltage on it, if its not going to ground effectively. I don't know if either of these situations could result in this behaviour though.
So, any ideas? comments?
(I've moved the bulb elsewhere, and it was fine, and a different bulb taken from elsewhere does the same thing in this particular fitting). Oh yes, its not a dimmer switch.

This is a small chandelier with 12 (globe) bulbs, G16.5 in size. Seems that whenever I replace bulbs, a few of them very quickly go out. Is this because there may be a mix of bulb wattage (some 25w, some 40w)?

I live in a very old house. The code inspector came through and found many violations to code (sadly) and said he didn't think my loan would be enough to remedy everything that was in violation. It was nice to find out what needed to be fixed but here's my question. My house heats the upstairs using floor registers in each room (they can be opened/closed) and we've never frozen to death. He walked through and said that there had to be a heat source in every upper room. Is this right? My house is not a rental unit. My family lives in it, we own it. Everything I've found says that the daytime temp has to be 68 degrees F and nighttime temp 55 degrees F (for rentals). It says nothing about heat sources or how this applies to homes that are occupied by their owners. Code inspector is saying I need to add heat sources which costs money. Is this right? Where can I get a detailed list of Michigan codes?
