The tile/grout edge behind my kitchen sink is turning slight black and loosening the caulk?

Saturday, August 30th, 2008
H N asked:


because everytime I use the sink, when I turn the faucet off the water from my hands slides down to the back of the sink and kind of lays there. How can I prevent this from happening. Is there something I can put between the back of the kitchen sink and the tiled wall ? Please help !

how do i get my kitchen sink valve to stop leaking?

Friday, August 22nd, 2008
roxy angel asked:


i bought a Corrego kitchen sink UPC number NSF 61/9. i hooked it up and everything was fine until i noticed the on/off/hot/cold/handle (as i call it, i dont know the real name) was leaking. it was hooked up correctly, but the on/off part was really loose, that was the part that started to leak. i put in everything right, i think, and it snapped in place, but still leaked.
how many o-rings are in the handle post?

What is this strange noise coming from my kitchen sink?

Monday, August 18th, 2008
PersianPrincess asked:


I live in a one bedroom apartment with about 16 units. Since I moved in 2 years ago, I’ve heard a strange clanking sound coming from my kitchen sink. It hasn’t happened as often as before, but I can’t figure out what it is.

I just got my garbage disposal cleaned out by a pro. and he can’t figure out what it is either. Darn the person above my apartment. If she ever clogs her drain, mine will get clogged, too. But that’s not it.

I thought it might be some kind of animal, but it’s not. It sounds like someone is dropping silverware down the pipe. My disposal works fine - use vinegar and baking soda, etc. and keep it clean.

Anyone with any clues as to what this is and how to get it to stop. It’s kinda creepy.

Oh, and a side note, I wish people in upstairs apartments would be careful about toilets and sinks not clogging up. The downstairs people will suffer :-(, and with a hefty bill I might add.

Monday, August 18th, 2008
PrincessShine asked:


I recently adopted 2 kittens and they just love to climb on my kitchen counters and in the sink when I am not around. I have caught them doing this a few times and usually they will jump down when they see me. But is there a way to keep them off those surfaces? I heard using a cleanser with and Orange scent supposedly works (I tried it..didnt work for me). Any suggestions?

How do I replace the flourescent light box above kitchen sink?

Sunday, August 17th, 2008
robow asked:


The florescent light above my kitchen sink just suddenly went out. I replaced the bulb but it still does not work. The light is within a light box that is attached to the underside of the cabinets. There is an electrical connection coming out of the wall that apparently connects to the box. You turn this unit off/on with a switch on the wall. I’m thinking I will have to replace the electrical light box.
