I have a bathroom where 3 things are connected to one main drain underground, a sink, a toilet and a bath/shower. I noticed the toilet water was moving in the toilet yesterday, and today the toilet is draining very slow & when I had the shower on the toilet was bubbling. This also happened when I was trying to drain the sink water. The shower didn't drain too well this morning, so I put liquid plumber in and it seemed to help, but the toilet still didn't drain too well. It's still doing it. I put water in the tub again and it drained slow as well as the toilet, I plunged it a couple times and water started coming into the tub, I stopped up the tub and the toilet drained, again, slow, but faster then it had been. I opened up the drain for the shower and it went out fine, but still the toilet is draining very slow. The toilet is also draining completely, the water doesn't stop where it usually does, but rather most if not all the water drains out of the toilet. Any ideas? Thanks

I would like to have an alarm system installed in my house using an independent contractor so I can buy a better system for cheap and then negotiate my monitoring contract with a company. My electrician says he doesn't do it. Is this unheard of in the industry? What kind of contractor would do this kind of installation?

I have a 1977 mobile home in a park. When I went to vacuum out the dust of ducts before turning on heat, I discovered 2 inches water in bathroom duct. I checked and bedroom has some and living room as well,,but the kitchen duct is just moist, no actual standing water. I figure I could shop vac out, but where on earth could it come from? My bathroom had tub replaced 2 years ago, and then last august toilet had to be replaced along with floor due to water damage from toilet leaking. Could it be toilet leaking gets into that duct that runs along bottom of mobile? I have no money to have repair man come out again, any ideas?

It just seems a lot cheaper to buy water than it is to pay a plumber to fix frozen pipes. Not to mention the aggravation and the inconvenience.

The repairman told me it was gonna cost me $300 plus whatever parts he needs and I have a friend who told me that I can buy the part and do it myself for cheaper. He also told me that all the parts for your heating and AC are all under a $100. It's just having the know how to do it! Any help?

I used my microwave this morning and it worked fine. I just tried to use it a few minutes ago, and it started making this loud buzzing sound, with the light flashing on and off. When I opened the door, the inside was smoking. It's only seven years old, and it's not a cheap model. Does ANYONE know what this could be (and how much it would cost to fix)? I can't afford another really nice one, and I know that it's technically possible to live without a microwave, but it would really suck. Thanks for your help:)

I have tried everything but changing out every outlet. any sugesstions before I have to call an electrician. Thank you ps. circuit breakers are fine-fuses are fine.

We have the motar in the foundation of our house that is slowly falling out. What can we used to fill the small gaps? They are for cinder blocks that are in good condition, however the cement in between is decaying. We've never had to replace or repair something like this. Any recommendation?
