I'm in a newly built home and tried wiring a chandalier last night. The box had two white wires that were tied together at the end, a wire in white casing painted yellow and another wire in white casing painted purple. I used the two white wires as ground, connected the yellow to the hot wire on the chandalier and the purple wire to the other. It didn't work (no light), but I got shocked when I stuck my finger where the light bulb goes (dumb, I know)...so I know it's getting power. The bulbs are correct. What am I doing wrong? I've never heard of 2 ground wires, purple or yellow colors for wiring. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

I accidently dried a load of clothes and there was a black permanent magic marker in my son's jeans pocket. My dryer has black streaks all over it on the inside! Although dry now, I don't want to dry more clothes where the residue will heat up and transfer to other clothing. Does anyone know what can take this off?

My spare bedroom needs to be painted. Im not sure what colour to go with. It is a very bright room and very warm as it gets the sun all day. The furniture is pine and wooden floors so its a blank canvas at the moment. I was thinking of maybe a pale purple or lilac as a feature wall. Because its such a warm and bright room I don't mind choosing a cool colour scheme. Don't want to do red, green or neutral colours such as browns and creams. Have these colours already around the house.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks.

Are they any good? Have you had one? Do you have one? Any brands to go for or others to particularly avoid? Are they suitable for family use?
Any experiences on washer/dryers greatly appreciated.

My mother used to turn on our oven on cold mornings to heat the kitchen a little bit. We were arguing about it this weekend, because she said that she did it because it was less expensive than turning on the electric baseboard heater in the kitchen.. I said it wouldn't use any less electricity.. and wouldn't be cheaper. Who is right?
