There are 3 pairs of red & black wires coming out of the wall where a previous light socket was. I have installed lights before, however in this case there are more wires than required. In the previous light fitting the red wires were all contacting each other in one socket, two black wires where in another socket and the third was in its own.

How should I spread the wires across the new fitting, in the crimp? I have three sockets available (one for earth). Should I group the three red wires in one socket and the three blacks in one socket? Or should I put one pair of wires in two sockets i.e one red wire in one socket and one black in the other socket (one earth) and then tape the other wires up, individually, and shove them back into the wall?

Thanks for any advice you may have.

I really hate it, as it dominates the whole room. If I knocked down the bit that is built on to hold the tv, is it likely to be solid with wires in it ,or just solid brick?

Every year I've put the same hummingbird feeder in the same spot with the same mixture of sugar and water, but this year we aren't getting any hummingbirds to stop at the feeder. We would usually have so many that you'd have to dodge them when walking out on to the deck. I have seen 2 or 3 hummbirds stop by the feeder this year, but none have stayed. The liquid in the feeder has only dropped about 2 inches since spring. Is there something I could do to attract more hummingbirds?

We're getting new cabinetry in a kitchen with Pergo floors (Brunswick Cherry color) and white appliances. Should we get off-white cabinetry (swiss coffee color) or wood grain? Which wood would be best? My brother (who is making the cabinets) suggested alder with a dark stain, but would that look funny with white appliances? Is a white kitchen not in style any more at all? Will wood grain get me more market value on the home over white? Thanks!
