Bowling Ball Repairs
Bowling ball hit the bottom of my car when college students threw them down a busy street hill.?
My question: The car had some damage on the bottom of the vehicle. Not the frame, just places the bowling ball hit. I didn't notice problems until I drove to Chicago (the hwy speed must of loosened things up).
I had some repairs done. My question, it's 2 years later, I've had no problems with the car. I want to sell it, but what is the lowest price of damage you can have on a vehicle before you would have to disclose it to a dealership or the person you were selling it to?
If it runs "OK" don't disclose it unless you filed insurance on it...then it will be on carfacts? also say that railroad tracks may have losed unpining? if the ask?

A hissing toilet could result in you losing water, and a lot of water every day, up to 50 gallons a day, believe it or not. So fixing a hissing toilet isn't just good for your piece and quiet late at night, but it will also save you from wasting a lot of water. To fix such a problem is not too difficult and, once you understand the working mechanisms of a toilet, you'll find that you can fix most things that go wrong.
Toilets are a wonderful invention, making our homes safe and healthy, and with modern plumbing and the latest technology, they don't tend to break down. It is optimal to have a check up system ready so that you can see an issue while it is still tiny rather than waiting for the toilet to need a replacement or pay for overpriced repairs. This will be of particular benefit, as I have found that when toilets break, it is normally at the most inopportune moments such as when the in-laws or the boss is coming round for dinner. Racing around with a plunger and smelling a little unpleasant doesn't create such a good impression.
So let's have a look at the toilet. You'll find that it is a relatively simple mechanism. There are, of course, all sorts of different designs, so when I say take the lid off the tank, you may have a tank that is separate from the bowl, or a tank that is appears to be a single unit with the bowl, or you may have a tank located within some sort of cabinet. Again, it is best to be prepared, and know how to take the lid off the toilet before there is an emergency, as it will be bound to be a harder task if you are in the middle of a panic.
Have a look inside the tank, and if you have an old-fashioned toilet, you'll notice that there may be over 13 liters of water in your tank. It is shocking to learn that modern toilets function with only six liters and double flush toilets utilize between three and six liters of water. You may be using a lot more water than you need and it could be worth your while to investigate alternative options.
Inside the tank, depending on the type of mchanism you own, there will be a fill valve which controls the flow of water into the toilet. It is connected to the water supply through the bottom of the tank. The emission of the toilet water is connected to the flush valve and the flapper, which is also named the stopper or tank ball, and is connected to the flood pipe and rests over the top of the drain. When you press the button on the top of your toilet, the tank lever lifts the flapper and allows water to flow into the bowl.
If this is all working well, that's great news. However, if you a hissing sound, it may be that your water level is too high in which case you can fix it using the adjustment clip on the ballcock link or the cup mechanism. If the water is streaming down the refill pipe into the flood pipe, you should check the fill stopper, or reorganize the ballcock.
If you fail, then check the ballcock is not broken. If not then scrub out the dirt under the fill stopper caulking.
