    Plug stopper depressed in sink!

    A rubber sucker, should be able to lift it! If you don't have one, have you tried a vacuum cleaner hose end? If trying the latter method, make sure there is no water in the sink.

    Plug stopper depressed in sink!

    Repeated question..... What you haven't explained is the type of stopper - is it the type which you press, and it is supposed to pop up, or is it the type where you operate a pushrod/button, by the tap?

    Covering Up A Damaged Concrete Fence Post.

    A few years ago now, but I took out the remnants of some quite damaged council reinforced concrete posts. These were some 70 years old, and just four quite thin steels in each, rather than rebar. I was quite surprised by the complete lack of any rust, on the steel. The concrete was very brittle.

    Very weak windscreen washers.

    Very weak windscreen washers.

    The jets, are the smallest part of the system, and so much more inclined to debris blocking them. A bit of fuse wire, will clear the jets without damaging them, or if you have access - an airline, blowing through from the jet outlet.
