Our halogen ceiling lights, 50w, provide brilliant light, but they are continually blowing and cost £3.40 each (and we have a lot of them). Is there some alternative bulb which provides equally strong, clear light, but which is more durable?

There is a total of 37 indoor outlets and switches. The job is only to take off the old ones and rewire the new ones. I purchased the parts, and will put on the face plates myself. Just need the labor cost.

The light shaded sanded grout I installed have on my kitchen and bathroom is a bear to keep clean. I sealed it when I installed it. The only thing that cleans it is a " grout eraser", which does an excellent job, but is very time consuming. I've sealed it again after this type of cleaning and it still gets dirty. What else can I do?

Has anyone else noticed that all of their leaves are brown and shrivelled? (And yes...I do realise that it is autumn, and trees do that at this time of year, but they've been like that all summer through!)

Conkers seem fine though, so that's all right!

I have used the traditional method of the cleaner that comes with the range and also tried scrapping with a single edge razorblade. I was bringing a water and sugar and vinegar solution to a boil for a salad dressing when it boiled over. This isa new appliance so am hoping there is a remedy!!

I recently purchased a new dryer. The electrical plug on the new dryer is a three prong dryer. The problem is that I have a four prong dryer electrical hook up. I currently have a old dryer that has the four prong electrical cord. Do you think it would be ok to replace the three prong electrical cord with the old four prong electrical cord? Thanks for your time.

i had my home inspected before i moved in and was given the all clear and was told there were no problems. soon after i moved in the a/c broke, entire bottom of the water heater was entirely corroded, behind the oven there was a huge hole in the wall. the electrical work was not even up to code. is this legal? how can the home pass inpection if there are so many problems? i would have never bought it if i'd known all this. do i have any recourse? help please!!!

I use regular - snicker shoe for work, instead of buying a new anti-slip shoe everytime, I prefer to use this but wondering if I can add cheap anti slip material.

Options I know are:
Anti-slip shoe spray Phython & Court brand (are these good?)
Anti slip soles for snow/ice

Can anyone suggest any other materials/cheap stuff that worth to try? thanks
