    What are these dark stripes in the toilet bowl?

    Try using a pumis stone. I use one on our toilets once in awhile and it cleans really well. It takes a lot of elbow grease though.

    LG Icemaker Won't Make Ice Without Resetting First

    I sold it for $325. I already have one in the garage and the basement. The lady I sold it to was happy to get it even though the ice maker didn't work.

    LG Icemaker Won't Make Ice Without Resetting First

    Have you ever tried talking to their reps? You can't understand them and none of them know anything.

    LG Icemaker Won't Make Ice Without Resetting First

    Thanks for all the responses. I got rid of the refrigerator and bought a different new one. Thanks anyway. One word of advice though....don't buy an LG refrigerator. They are not made very well.

    LG Icemaker Won't Make Ice Without Resetting First

    I am looking for some help with the ice making function on my 2008 LG French Door Refrigerator model number LFX25971SB. First of all, I know this is not a water supply problem or a frozen supply line issue. I think it might be a control board issue and want to know if anyone can help me pin...

    Door Installed "Out of Plum" Deliberately

    Yeah, I am not done with this. I have emailed my Pella sales person and asked him if he would stop by to take a look at this fine installation. I also asked him if Pella would stand behind their warranty on a door installed out of plumb. I will eventually get this right even if I have to do...

    Door Installed "Out of Plum" Deliberately

    Thanks for the replies, guys. In my opinion, my contractor fed me a line of BS. He just plain nailed this door in place without getting it plumb (he should have pushed the top in against the wall). Then when he came back at my request, he just plain lied about putting it in to compensate for...

    Door Installed "Out of Plum" Deliberately

    Thanks for the reply. This contractor has been doing this for 40 years. Am I correct saying the door should have been installed plumb?

    Door Installed "Out of Plum" Deliberately

    Hopefully I will not make this post too long for all. Also, please note that I posted this topic on another DIY forum and hope I am not offending anyone by posting it here. I am trying to get as much information about this as I can. I just would like to know how many contractors on this...

    Water Leak In Poured Basement Wall

    I got the hole dug, the pipe sealed, the nap in and am now awaiting the thx. I guess I best find something else to do now that I am rested. Anyway, the exterior wall where the pipe came out looked just like the interior side only it had absolutely no seal around the pipe at all other than what...

    Water Leak In Poured Basement Wall

    You know, I never thought about the sensual thingy. I went right out and bought a gallon of roofing cement and the plastic putty knives. I now think I am armed with enough stuff to patch the Hoover Dam if it ever has a problem. Again, thanks much for the advice.

    Water Leak In Poured Basement Wall

    Thanks to both of your for the responses. I am scheduled to dig tomorrow weather permitting. It looks like I will only have to dig down about 2 feet to hit the top of the pipe. I plan on cleaning everything in the area out around it and taking a good look at what I have. I intend to seal it...

    Water Leak In Poured Basement Wall

    We have been in this house for about 2 years now with no water problems to speak of. Tonight we had a hurricane like rain storm and where my PVC sewer line exits through the poured concrete basement wall water just gushed through the wall around that pipe and ran down onto the basement floor...
