I have read in a novel that a young woman did housesitting as a job. Is there real demand to that in the UK? I am a teacher of English, from a EU country, and during the summer holidays I would enjoy spending time in Britain like that, feeding the cats, etc.

There is a wire mesh that keeps the flies out but I don't think that is strong enough for preventing a child from falling.

We are building a new home (new construction) and are having the bath tub and shower removed from the master bath, to be replaced with a custom shower. The shower will be enclosed with a wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling frameless glass frame and door. The glass will be held up by a 12" soffit coming down from the 8' ceiling, and the interior shower ceiling will be 8' in height. The builder has suggested that they are not planning to tile the ceiling, but that it will be a higher-quality type of drywall than usual. They said they are not planning to tile the ceiling in case there are any plumbing problems in the future (so it would be easier to get to the plumbing: one detail is that we will have a rain shower head coming from the ceiling in between two standard heads). I am concerned that the ceiling will peel and become damaged by condensation and steam...

I live in Newark Delaware Zone 7a zip 19702 and decided to buy four camellia plants for the side of my house that gets some shade. After doing some research on the internet I decided on camellias because of their pretty winter blooms and because the need partial shade and are evergreen. Most sites said camellias were hardy up to zone 6 or 7 so I figured it would be fine. I just finished planting them, and decided to Google the breeds to find out a little more about them. Well, it looks like they are listed up to zone 8a only! I just finished planting them and plan to put a thick 4 inch layer of mulch on top to sheild to from the winter frost. Will my plants survive and still flower? Will they be too cold to do very well in my garden? The two plants I bought were Camellia japonica 'Professor Sargent' and Camellia japonica 'Nuccio's Gem'. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks again!

We are in the process of a kitchen remodel. We have installed new granite countertops (blacks, browns, tans, etc) and new porcelain tile (very light tan with some alabaster swirling). We are pricing all new appliances but can't decide on whether to go with the "soft" stainless (which is absolutely amazing and doesn't show fingerprints at all) or with white. I should say at this point that our cabinets are the inexpensive ones installed when the home was built (light oak with white fronts) but we can't afford to have those replaced at this time. Any suggestions or thoughts?

I cant seem to find a cat litter that really works, Ive tried organic ones, expensive ones, multi cat ones, adding baking soda to the pan, special sprays etc... but it seems like I cant keep the oder down longer than 1 day and I only have 1 cat. I dont want to get rid of him but I cant stand the smell. Is there really anything that works?

As far as cost, maintenance, keeping confined, and eating valuable plants, which are easier to keep, sheep or goats? I hear that sheep are a lot more delicate while goats are harder to keep contained and eat everything including garden plants.

Also, which one is a better lawnmower on acreage? I hear sheep are better at eating grass, while goats don't like grass as much.

Any information is appreciated.

I'm a complete rookie, and have never done this before. I intend to retile a shower. I also may need to replace the shower pan. That's the part that scares me. All the books tell you to slope it, but none tell you how. Maybe you can direct me to a book that has step by step instructions about sloping mortor.
