Ah yes, the age old addage look at all the money I saved!!! (sigh) I've been in retail long enough to know how these work and I also survived the consumer lobotomy that convinces people they're saving millions of dollars. Yes, you can save a few dollars over a period. I have them for the pet food stores because they have the pet food I use on them quite often for $5 off per bag. I too would prefer a straight sale, but this is the new thing. And when I sign up I give a phone number that I had shut off from a prepaid cell phone, fake address and on the pet food I do give them a disposeable email address since they do send coupons to the email addy and haven't been spamming. When I forget the card they want my phone # to look it up. Well I don't always remember the bogus # I gave them so a couple times I just signed up for a new card. The one that irritates me most is the SuperAmerica "bonus points" card. Don't use it and don't go there anymore. There's lots of gas stations and I save more across the street. FWIW, I like bagging my own groceries! First, I can pack all refrigerated & frozen together, I can keep the weight to a manageable level and I double bag these things. I'll also put stuff that needs to be separated into a plastic bag into the paper bag. And I always use handle bags if they offer them. I do know what the bags cost them but I'm sick of the bottom falling out of them and I can't do the bending over to pick the stuff up anymore. Shouldn't have to anyway. Actually, several stores around here will bag for you, usually at the busy times of the day, but I tell them I need to separate the stuff (if they ask why I say it's for different people) and bag it myself. Then pack the cart myself and I can handle it easily. I never saw a big thing about someone bagging my groceries for me. Now if they'd put them away for me, that's different! :)

A few weeks ago I went to a scrapbook convention in Arlington, TX and took a class about how to use Zig Twin tip markers. Even though I hate my own handwriting (and currently use my computer for my journaling) I think I HAVE to have a big set of these pens. They have four sets, and I would love all four but each one (with 48 pens)costs $100.00! I keep looking for a good deal on one of these pen sets but none of the craft stores in my area carry them. I would even settle for a used set. Anyone out there want to part with their set?

Any progress? Just re-read your original and your second posts. The second post didn't register when I wrote my above response... It sounds like you may have had, and may continue to have, a blockage in conjunction with a venting issue. Can't tell if the blockage is exacerbating your venting issue or if the venting issue is magnifying your blockage issue. Without knowing your bathroom layout upstairs, I can't be sure, and who knows how they routed and tied in drain pipes to the waste/stack line(s), especially since it may have been 85 years ago in the original construction. For all we know, they may not have used adequately sized waste/drain pipes, tied in a larger line to a smaller line instead of the other way around, correctly vented the waste/drain lines, or even put in vent pipes, so you may not find vent pipes through the roof as I suggested in my previous post. I'm guessing that you have no idea if a plumber installed the DWV (drain/waste/vent) system or if it was a DIY afterthought. Had it been a DIY project or a homeowner build, and ASSUMING that lines were vented, the vent pipes could be anywhere: running laterally to the side(s) of the house, down the basement, terminating in a wall cavity or the attic, fill blank _______, etc. Again, don't know your second floor bathroom and DWV layouts, but based on your second post, it sounds like you still have a partial blockage somewhere (obviously, downstream of from your second floor bathroom) AND/or a venting issue. This is my guess based on what's happening... By not adding water to your waste/drain lines for an hour, those lines are clearing out the water that was backed up and you're starting with "dry" lines. Here's the sequence of what may be occurring: 1. When you run the tub, the water first washes down the tub drain. That tub line ties into a waste/stack line (at least, it should), so the water flows into the waste/stack line. (The tub drain ***could*** tie in to your sink drain, then that tub/sink line to the waste/stack line.) 2. Because there is a partial blockage somewhere downstream, when the flow of running water from the tub exceeds the rate at which the choke point allows it to escape, water begins to back up in your waste/stack/drain line(s). 3. The waste/stack/drain lines(s) is/are now filled upstream of the choke point. Tub may begin to fill. 4. The tub likely starts to fill. Gravity takes over and the filling water exerts force and pushes water down the tub drain. 5. That water being pushed down the tub by gravity and pressure from rising water follows the path of least resistance. 6. As water fills the drain/waste/stack, it can't go downstream because of the blockage, so it backs up upstream. 7. As it backs up water upstream, if there is no vent, the air that's trapped in the line becomes more and more compressed. If there is inadequate venting or a partial/complete blockage in the vent and air can't vent fast enough, relative to the compression exerted by the filling water, the trapped air becomes more and more compressed. (Again, I'm presupposing that there is NO vent, INADEQUATE venting, or some vent blockage that's not allowing that compressed air to escape fast enough.) 8. At some point, the toilet waste line begins to fill with water and/or the trapped air begins to compress. When the pressure of that pocket of air surpasses the pressure (not much) of the airtight seal from the water in the bowl and its built-in trap, air escapes...bubbles. My guess... J

Once the pulley is installed and properly torqued it will be fine. The housings have been redesigned.
