We used to have a very large garden pond, but emptied it out because I was worried that children might wander into my very large garden and accidently fall into our wildlife pond. Though my husband wants to fill in the void I would love to put it to some other use perhaps a sunken garden with drainage pipes.

I would appreciate suggestions that are realistic and not full of inuendo! Thank you all in advance.

I own a maisonette that sits above a ground floor flat. The bin store roof, which is the responsibility of the flat below me, is leaking. At present the owner of the ground floor flat is selling the property. It has now been sold, although I assume they have not completed or exchanged yet as it only sold a few weeks ago. I have telephoned the estate agents about the leak (I cannot contact the current owner as he does not live there and I do not have his contact details) and nothing has happened. I am now writing a letter for both the owner and the estate agent about this. The leak has caused some damage to the wall in my hallway. I was wondering if the owner and/or estate agent were legally obliged to tell the purchaser about this leak, or is it expected that the purchaser should identify it? Does the Property Misrepresentation Act come into play here? I want to know where the purchasers stand as the I don't want is to get off on a bad foot with them over a leaky roof!

I just moved and I really hate my current sink. I used to have a stainless steel sink undermounted in granite. I currently have a cheap nasty plastic drop in sink in a laminate counter. I like the counter but the sink sucks. I can't get it clean no matter what I clean it with and I can't use something like steel wool because it will scratch it. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This causes a very weak flush...The water valve is turned on at the wall. and its not leaking... its not the flapper, I checked that... anyone have an idea what to check next?

My neighbor and I are thinking about replacing the worn wooden fence between us ourselves. Total length is about 80 ft. Is this a realistic project for two individuals who are eager to save money, but have no experience? Any links to helpful Web sites would also be appreciated.

I am really good with a sewing machine... surprise, surprise.

I am officiating at my friends Stacy and Enya's wedding. I need a pattern for a stole. I've looked at some of the stoles in catalogs and I think I'd rather have my own personally taylored to who I am and why I do what it is that I do....

i inadvertently flushed a medium size block of plaster down the toilet. Used a regular plunger to try to dislodge it- it works for awhile but then clogs again. Doesn't overflow, but takes multiple flushes to clear toilet. Got a toilet auger to try to dislodge it. Seems to get stuck where plaster is- not sure but thats what im thinking. Any suggestions about chemicals to use to dissolve plaster? or maybe different techniques with auger?

Is it good or not? My hubby said it will look so weird among the neighbors. But I think it will be good for basement. Also, I don't know if the builder will allow me to do that.
