I am not a plumber but I need to disconnect the sink & toilet. Can I do it myself? I know where the stopcock is so can turn water off to do the job, but what tools would I need to shut off so they don't work again?

I have a '78 El Camino with really old glass packs that I'm thinking about replacing but they are welded into the aluminum dual exhaust system. I want to reuse the system but just replace the mufflers. Aren't mufflers usually tightened with connectors not welded right into the system?

I have a new bike that is mint. But I need to cut two inches off the seat tube in order to lower the saddle. The bike is just marginally too big for me. I have not cut aluminium (or anything) and would apprecaite any tips. I do not want to start the job without guidance as I might ruin the bike. What tools do I need? What technique should I use? What tips are there? Thanks

I know the roots are there because I just had the drain rooted by the plumber. A handful of hair-like roots and some other unspeakable toilet products came out. The plumber is telling me I NEED to send a camera down there ($250) and probably need to replace the drain ($2K and up). Is he exaggerating or can I just pour that root-killer liquid down the drain. Oh, and PS is that liquid like an abomination to the environment and marine life?

I'm going to be tiling my bathroom for the first time, and have a few questions that I need to get answered. I will be using ceramic tile for the job. Here goes: How do I cut the tiles for the toilet screw holes? Can I just buy a special drill bit for my 18v drill? Is there a simple way to cut the hole for the pipe into the toilet? For the tiles against the tub, do I use caulk or grout?

I need to cut lots of thin wall metal (usualy brass) tubing for applications in the lighting industry. I need nice clean perpendicular cuts and find a hand tubing cutter to be slow and "messy". However I would rather not have to use a huge 14" chop-saw due to space considerations. Can anyone recommend a power tool that will do the job without being way over powered - preferably bench mounted?
