I have a Hotpoint Electronic 1000 Plus washing machine. Just recently, when I (well, ok the girlfriend...) use it, the clothes come out very hot and smell like they haven't been washed properly.

Any ideas please. My girlfriend is going crazy about it!
Thanks.

There are 2 adults and 3 children in our house (13yrs, 21months and 5 months).

I want to build a drinks bar for my small roof garden - the bar can be about four feet long, and two feet deep, and three feet high. Any ideas where to buy one, or where to find out how to build one? As it's outside, it has to be weatherproof.

I have received a planning application off a developer to builder 94 new one and two bedroom flats over the road from me in four blocks, four storeys high - my flat is a ground floor - large two bedroom with garden and garage in a small block of four.
From what I can tell on the planning application the new flats will be very small and come with no garden - will this increase or decrease the value of my property when I go to sell it?

Any advise when writing to the local planning office with issues of concern? There are no properties in the area more than two storeys high, these new flats will be towering over us, a school and some grade 2 listed houses - blocking the view and light.

They are also buying up a large chunk of school playing fields to build these flats - is there a way to fight against a school doing this. They have been tempted by a large amount of money but once their playing fields are gone they can’t get them back!

Can you help me?

I can see light all the way around the door crack and winter is coming. I would like to have a carpenter put a door in, but wonder if the floor is so unlevel in this old 1904 house he could not get it in properly. I noticed a door with a huge window in the Menards flyer, and would like to have it put in the front of my house. Would it be hard to do? What do you know about this? I think maybe they would have to re frame the whole doorway. Should I buy the door 1st then hire it put in or wait until I see a carpenter? I know doors come pre framed, but what about that bottom part which looks metal, does that come with the door or is that something a carpenter adds?

When I cover up the light sensor there is power to the socket, but the bulb does not work (I even tried a new bulb. So what is going on, if their is some power, does is need more power, is their another componet like a ballast or transformer that may have failed. Would I be better off to just replace the whole fixture, and if so, with what would you recommend.
