Thank you very much. All help was much appreciated. Helen

Here it is days later and still no water seeping. I just wonder if that toilet bowl container didn't fall and spill. Bone dry around the pipe, bone dry about the toilet and floor. Hmmmmm.
-
I have been checking all week and the area around the pipe is bone dry. I have a theory that maybe what I saw was knocked over toilet brush water? (No one owns up, but it is possible) If there were a...
-
The pipe has not leaked for several days. It has been dry.
-
I can't give you one. Try to imagine it. It is a 4" pipe next to the basement toilet that is leaking poopy substance.
-
Yes, it appears there is some deterioration near the collar. I sure hope that you are right. Any other folks with some ideas?
-
Please help. Next to our basement toilet is a pipe that goes into the ground. It has a collar on it. We followed it and believe it to be the waste vent. Problem: there is leakage around where the...

Yes kiki. Do your heart tells you. The ratings on washing vary so much... get what you want and that is that.

Am looking for a new washer/dryer. What is the best I can do using a top loading washer.

Thank you... Nobody wants to admit they themselves, their natural actions clog a toilet. My sons use this toilet and no problems. We have a toilet in our partially finished basement that works just...
-
How could it be the vent if everything else is just fine? I have noticed when I hold the handle down an extra second or two it flushes very well, excellent siphon. I guess I am trying to limit the...
-
Right now it has a good siphon, flushing real well. When it is going to clog, it starts its flush action but the water will go down more slowly and sometimes burp, leaving little water in the bowl....

Ballenger1: I have read on line people having similar problems. The guy who came to auger out the pot told me the same as you: the cimmaron should be able to take care of things. Why would the...
-
Just as I was thinking, unfortunately for the two who are "culprits" In your opinion, would a two flush "dump" be an answer? Flush midway, then flush at the end. No kidding, I am fairly desperate...
-
No the culprits are adults. No kids in the house, only young adults. Since the plumber, it clogged once and using the plunger cleared it just fine. I don't believe toilet paper is an issue; both say...
-
I am no expert, but it sounds like your main sewer line needs to be cleaned out.
-
We have a cimmaron toilet (low water fast flush) It has been clogging too often. There are two people in the family who are "culprits." Even so, the toilet should flush waste. We use a plunger and...

HElen just keep ttyuing my faviourite friend. Yuou shouall overcome your adverisity. Try harder.

My old combination storm windows need paint. Original paint is flecking off. I have triedwith one window and was finding it a tedious task. Had trouble getting the windows to go back onto their...

I believe the stopper in my tub has a sprung spring. It closes shut, but does notopen up fully to empty. Is this just a replacement of the mechanism?
-
The undersink area of my sink is leaking Is this just a concnetion or am I looking at a new sink?
-
Hi! Can someone please please please tell me if the mesh leaf protectors above my gutters are responsible for the icicles that are forming? Last year, I didn't have any icicles, or if I did, they...
-
We live in Iowa. I noticed icicles hanging from the gutters. They have since melted away. We have aluminum screens over the gutters to keep leaves, etc. out. Are these making ice dams possible? We...
-
I live in Iowa. We have had much much rain this season. In July, when everyone else was battling water in their basements, we had our share of seepage, in places where it was during the flood of 93....
-
Thanks for the answer. We will try cleaning it first. I did try a small patch and the metal underneath shows through. Maybe I'm past washing?? HElen

We have a house that was sided, I'm guessing, sometimes in the sixties, early 70's. It is steel, has chaulked off and looks like it needs a bath or a painting. How do you wash steel siding? Can it...
-
We have a ten year old cockatiel who seems to be spending more time sitting on the bottom of her cage than she ever used to. Is this from getting older? She does come out on the perches and peeps...
-
Well, sorry to hear of your predicament. I heard that using tar on the roof won't help at all. If your shed is as homely as you write, maybe it won't be too bad to knock it down, provided you have a...
-
Sorry to use the french word there, but I need help with an attached porch/shed to my garage. The roof is flat and leaking. It has been leaking for one year or more. So yes, the boards are getting...

That freedom from smoking online sounds interesting. However, I am back smoking about 1/2 pack a day. My husband doesn't know it and I've kept it from him for at least two months now. I do plan to...
-
Thanks so much. I did use Tilex, sprayed it on and used a scrub brush. If, as you say, the wood will eventually rot, then the closet's days are numbered... we really should take it down. Shouldn't...
-
I'd suspect mold. Look well around the baseboard for the signs of it. If you still don't see any, it may be in the wall. Is rain getting in some way? Helen Ag.
-
Hello. We had water in our basement and discovered in a little closet down there, that mold had been growing for a long time. We never used the closet. We managed to clean it off the cement with a...

As far as I know, home equity loans are not discharged in bankruptcy. Sorry.

Well, the little fellows have reared their ugly heads. This morning I pulled several teeny maple trees. You can see the whirlybird seed from which they sprouted. They are easy to pull at the...
-
But will mowing take care of the roots? Even the smallest of those suckers has nice roots already. And what about all the helicopters from which these seedlings hatch?? If you mulch them with the...
-
Would that weed killer be the sort that also kills broadleaf or do I need a different kind. Pulling all those little babies up by hand is a chore and a half. If I can kill them rather than pull...
-
Or no, they turn into little maple tree buds that are heck to pull out of the ground. When does this all end, does anyone know?
-
Thanks. I don't think my neighbors give a hoot what the fence line looks like. I will look up the product you named and see what is what. Meanwhile I'll keep pulling out the stragglers and rely on...
-
Oh yes, roots can enter the sewer if you have clay or other porous materials. I don't believe they can get into PVC, but if you have ever had to have your main sewer cleaned out and the plumber...
-
What about the maple seeds that root where you can't mow??
-
I am hoping for a quick end to this myself. I have been sweeping like a maniac. Will be interested in any answers you receive.
-
Well, you won't believe this guys, but my faucet turned!! We had 87 degrees the other day and I went over to it and tried to turn it again, and lo and behold the sucker turned!! Thanks for diagram. ...
-
I don't know how, but tiny maple trees spring up in my yard. (We have maples in the yard) I try and pull up as many as possible as soon as I see them, but some of the roots are so stubborn I can't...
-
I will look for the packing nut. I am afraid of applying too much pressure and have the whole thing come off the house!? It is already a freeze-free faucet as long as the hose is disconnected. But...
-
Please help. Our outdoor spigot won't turn on. It is too tightly shut. I am afraid to force it lest it pull away from the house. Any suggestions? Would WD-40 help? Thanks Helen Ag
-
We have an extensive area in our backyard under a tree that needs some seeding. Would shade seed work? Even in a large area? If we sodded, how do you take care of that? We've been having a lot of...

Were we to have a roofer repair this mess, what kind of money are we talking about?
Thanks for your answer, by the way.

Sometimes those tactics don't help much at all. Nicotine addiction is a terrible thing and the aunt's smoking till the end is a testament to that. I have tried and tried to stop smoking and never...
