My lounge is 6 metres wide by 27 ft long. the replacement carpet only comes in 5 metre widths which means that replacement carpet would have to be ordered measuring 54 ft long to add the piece down the side. This will obvioulsy leave a very big remnant piece. Surely that is mine and cannot be taken away by the carpet supplier?

My new kitchen is very long and very narrow...about 5 foot 17. I would like to put a new white or black gloss kitchen in that runs against one side of the wall. I want it to look quite minimalist and modern. I can afford to pay £4000-£5000 and this needs to include fitting and appliances....help! I need tips!

My father gave me a plant before he moved and I don't remember the name of it to find out how to take care of it. It almost looks like a cactus but he said it wasn't. It blooms out like a rose but the leaves are green and stiff like a cactus and they have a little barb at the end of each leaf. If you don't know what kind it is can you please direct me to a site that can help?

I have a costume. Its snug fitting. But the fabric is so flimsy, its wanting to split on stress points. How can I reinforce the seams without heat and resewing the seam itself.
Im afraid that the stiching would cause more holes.

I would think it is... but my brother says that the "loop" part will lose it's "loopiness" and it could develop mildew.

I just moved to a new house and I was trying to change a ceiling light in the master bedroom but I can't find the breaker box. Of course I need to hire an electrician to do the job if I can't find the box so he/she can do it for me but I was wondering if there is a way for me to change the light without having access to the breaker box to kill the power to that section of the house.

I must note that I have a braker box but it only turns the power off a different section of the house. I have followed the cables but still I can't find the braker box.

So just to summarize, --I do not need to get guidance on how to find the breaker box--. I need to know how to change the light without having access to the braker box to switch the power off.

I know it is not recommended and I know it is risky that is why I am not doing it (yet :) )

Thank you for your assistance.
