Although the first wave of boomers became eligible for early retirement under Social Security about six years ago, the generation still constitutes about one-third (31%) of the workforce, similar to percentages for millennials (33%) and Generation X (32%).aby boomers' view about having enough money to do what they want are based on telephone interviews conducted Dec. 6-29, 2013, as part of the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index survey, with a random sample of 1,929 adults born between 1946 and 1964, and living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
Repairing Common Toilet Problems. The toilet tank is where all the major plumbing takes place in a toilet and where most of your toilet repairs will occur. The purpose of the tank is to contain the water needed to flush the toilet and to conceal the plumbing apparatus that fills and empties the tank. The tank may contain a variety of different parts that need repair. Open any two toilet tanks and you'll often find very different components inside.
Some smart ideas are mechanical. The dual flush toilet cistern is one of these. You can save a considerable amount of water to help the environment (and perhaps save some money) with a properly installed unit. These units have two buttons: one for a full flush and one for half, as required by the user.epair. Part of the dual flush mechanism had broken off my flush valve (see image and enlarged view). As a result when I pushed either button I got only a half flush. Rather than replace it, I found I could heat the end of the broken plastic part with a match and then bend it to reach the button.
