I think there is some kind of "coaster" type I can put on the bottom of the legs of the chairs. Does anyone know what they are and where I can buy this? Thank you.

It seems like all you ever get here (Zone 6) is some scrawny stuff the next year. We have 18 of them from this year's plant sale at school.

All of a sudden the dryer made a loud sound and shut off. Well, I have a shelf above the dryer with chemicals, apparently the toilet bowl cleaner leaked down the back wall and a little got into the socket where the dryer pugs in. I unplugged it and wiped it off, even put a hairdryer by socket to dry it out, still feels a bit greasy. Plugged back in and flipped breaker in basement. Made the noise again, dryer does not work. Anything else to try? Two kids, need to do laundry.

My girlfriend says the lighting in our bathroom sucks, and I tend to agree. We are in a rental, so doing any kind of electrical work is out of the question. Is there some type of good bathroom lighting that comes with a cord to just plug it in? Perhaps a 3 bulb track lighting type thing? I'm electrically challenged, so any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Do all Kwickset house key blanks have the same groove pattern? Or does Kwickset and Schlage make a variety of house keys with different groove patterns?
Thanks.

They are in a enclosed plastic circular holder with a small plastic crank on the side to wind up the tape. Theres a small metal "U" at the end to attach it to protruding objects. They are great as a tool for camera assistants to take measurements with. The 99 Cents Store used to carry two of them in a package for 0.99, but they don't carry them anymore. Thanks for any help, much appreciated.

Im in the process of adding a new electrical outlet and was wondering is there any nice and easy tricks to run the wire behind the wall through the studs. From past experience I would use a long flex drill bit and drill through the middle of the stud and fish the wire through. Another way I did it was cut out the drywall and notch the stud, place wire then use a nail plate then repatch and paint. Is there any other options or are these two my best bet.

I'm moving to a very small apartment so I'm looking for some simple, cheap space savings ideas you might have. I can't do anything like painting or knocking down walls.
