Often it is possible to clear the obstruction with a‘ plumber’s friend, a rubber suction cup that either forces the obstruction out of the trap or pulls it back into the bowl. If this’ does not do much good try working a moderately stiff plece of wire into the trap with the idea of either pushing the obstruction out or catching onto it and pulling it the other way. A wire coat hanger does very well for this job. An even better gadget to use here is something called a spring steel auger. This is a device that can be worked into the trap and then rotated so that the sharp point either tears up the obstruction or gets such a firm grip on it that it can be pulled back out. Chemical drain cleanérs can be used to clear the trap, but it's going to take a long time for even a strong chemical to eat

Lots and lots of homes have shingles on the outside. We like shingles very much but sometimes they warp out. of shape. This is pretty easy to deal with.

‘Just split the shingle with a | chisel or hatchet and then tack it | back down with rust proof nails. | Be sure the nails are long enough so that they’ll hold. If an entire shingle is bad it can be removed by splitting it and then taking it out in sections.

A leaky basement floor is often caused by the fact that the concrete is just a wee bit perous and water under the floor seeps up through, If the water pressure isn't too great this can be fixed by coating the floor with waterproof paper and concrete. What you do is to patch up any cracks in the floor and then put down about three layers of tar paper. There is a special sort of paper made for this work. The paper should be: cemented in place, with either tar or asphalt. To get a good strong

joint the strips of paper should overlap about half their width and should be run up the walls for several feet so that water will not be able to come up around edges. After the last layer of tar paper is down the entire floor is covered with about three inches of concrete. This is made with one part cement, two parts sand and three parts gravel. You may need a little help at this point because the entire area must be covered at one pouring. The idea here is that any joints in the concrete covering will be weak spots and so you can’t have any joints.
