    Two problems - controller leaking, underground pvc broken somewhere

    One of the controllers for my garden sprinklers is spewing water. What's the best way to fix this? I've seen one You-tube video showing how to take it apart; looks like I could do it. My second problem is worse. I've got water puddling on my lawn when I am hand watering. I believe the...

    50 year old toilet backs up sometimes

    I have two bathrooms back to back with toilets on the same adjoining wall. One toilet almost overflows about once a month or so. Just now it came to within an inch of overflowing. I went into the other bathroom and flushed that toilet which had no problem. I assume they are both dumping...
