Moving pellet stove heat to bedrooms above

Hello and Happy New Year! I had a Heatilator CAB50 pellet stove installed in my basement 2 years ago. I live in a typical 80s-era rancher, with the pellet stove being in the rear left corner. It's in a semi-finished room of about 26'x24' directly under the 3 bedrooms. On cold winter nights I turn it on and leave the basement door open and it helps heat the bedrooms, but I'm wondering if I can more efficiently get heat into the bedrooms. The heat pump has a variable speed fan and doesn't seem to help. So I'm thinking about cutting another register into the floor of each bedroom, and maybe ducting it to grates in the basement ceiling, with an inline damper in each to close in the summer (and limit sound from the basement). How does this sound?

What order to snake all drains?

Have an ongoing issue with washing machine drain and have decided to rent an Auto Feed Drain Cleaner 75' X 1/2" from Home Depot. The unit cleans 1 1/4"- 3" diameter lines up to 75 '. Since I will have the machine, I am thinking I will clean all of the drains that this unit will clean. My understanding is that I can do my tubs, sinks and laundry drain and that my Toilet drains require a larger unit (true ?). The house was built in the 60s. Were the toilet drain pipes 4" then? My main question is in what order should I snake my drains? Furthest drain first or last? Two story Cape Cod.

Tricks for mounting a rod vertically so it's perfectly perpendicular

Hi, I'm relatively new to this whole DIY thing. I"m trying to mount two closet maid shelf tracks vertically, so I can hang shelves on it. I'm wondering if there are any tricks for mounting a rod vertically, and making sure that it's perfectly perpendicular relative to the wall? If I were mounting this horizontally, I"d just screw it in with one screw, put a level on top of the track, rotate it until the level says it's good. But I'm not sure what's the easiest way to do that when I"m mounting the rod vertically. I suppose I could use a command strip to attach the level to the side of the rod. But is there an easier way? Thanks.
