    Dog flap
    We have a mini dachshund and are looking to buy a dog flap for our back door.

    How do you work out which would be the correct size dog flap for your dog. I don't just want to buy a small just in case it is to small.

    The width should be slightly wider than the widest part of his body (depending on his weight it will be either his belly or his shoulders/chest)

    Does the 'small' size door you are looking at have measurements on it?

Toilet flap vibration [ 2 Answers ]

I have a toilet that uses a disk-like flap instead of a ball. It pivots on a hinge and "hammers" down the flap onto the drain. I bought a brand new flap assembly and now when the toilet is filling after flushing, the flap vibrates and continues until you press it down. No signs of tears on the...
