I'd just wrap some sand paper around a file , that should work if you don't

Hi, i have a wood
It sounds as if your deverter is shot. In other words it's the device on the
spout that you pull up and or turn to start the shower. You need to un screw
the spout and take it to the hard ware store for a replacement. Also pick up

I once purchased one of those security bars for a sliding patio door and
after using it for awhile I decided I didn't like the darn thing. The thing
is made up of two pieces of metal pipe and they slide back and forth and

If when you turn the shower on and the water keeps coming out of the spout
you need what's called a new diverter.To replace that you need to remove the
spout and replace same. If water isn't coming out of the spout when you turn
the shower on you simply need to clean the shower head like someone

There's a thing called a closet snake and you can find them at any hardware
store. At the bottom of this thing there's a spring like thing.One puts this

Hello, maybe if you call a plumbing shop they might have a tank cover laying
around that they would just give to you.

I can't tell you how to remove the soot, but don't burn candles that have
lead wicks.They don't give off soot.
Hello Rick., go back to the hardware store and get yourself a small roll of
Teflon tape and wrap it around the treads on the tank and then tighten the
supply line on and no leak.

Jerry, CLR Power Plumber makes a product for toilets and my understanding is
that it uses pressure.I've never used it,, I've used the stuff that they
make for drains, and yes it truly works.
Be careful using rock salt, it's very hard on concrete and also grass and
other plants.
Well, we now have two of these so called water saver toilets.They seem to
work ok, but just try to plunge one of those bad boys.The problem is that
there simply isn't enough water in those things to get a good plunge.Well,
back to the work shop and I'm going to build me a two holer.Hmmm

Removing the stopper is no problem. If you reach under and behind the Trap
you will find a rod that runs through a large nut and into the trap. You in
many cases can turn the nut off with no tools. Have a bucket under it and
when it's lose reach back and you will find a metal strap coming down f
Is it the kind of stopper where as you pull up on a rod to close it.
