I have a lighted waterfall picture with sound that only worked for about 2-3 months. I have sound but no light leading me to believe the bulb is burnt. The only markings on the bulb is 32RR and 6400K and then some chinese writing. It has a 4-pin configuration. How do I measure the diameter ( inside, outside...)? Where do I find a replacement bulb? I have searched the net, called electrical stores in this area, tried about every novelty store in town... Do I measure in centimeters or inches? Dang bulb is driving me nuts! It was a christmas present for my daughter from a relative.

My family and I live in a manufactured home which is really nice and larger that the last stick built house we had. We were able to get more value for our dollars.
Our last stick built house was a 3 bedroom 2 bath 1400 sq foot home.
Our manufactured home is a 4 bedroom 3 bath 2200 sq foot home. We live in a nice gated community that has several amenities which we use.
So why is that when we tell people that we live in a manufactured home they assume it is a mobile home and that we live in a trashy trail park?
I do understand were the idea of white trash and trailer parks comes from. I have seen some and I know they exist.
But come on we have a beautiful home with many amenities we could not have been able to afford in a stick built home.
And before you start calling me and my family white trash have you looked at a manufactured home lately? They are beautiful and have many options.
So why do people look down at us? At least until they see our home.
Thanks

I have several holes on my property. The are all exactly alike: 2-l/2 ft. deep, 1 foot in circumference. They just appeared this year, and I can't get anyone out to tell me what it is. It's not an animal because there is no dirt or grass scattered around.

A countertop dishwasher uses I think some 5 gal of water but only does 4 place settings.. I'm wondering if it would be worth the expense.. We live in a small 12x60 mobile home and a full size one will not fit in here.

what are some better brands or are they all the same?

Im currently burning off all the old paint in my hallway, and the telephone cable runs up the side of one door. I've managed to unfasten it from the door frame but it has about 10 layers of paint on it and Im unsure of how to get it all off.
Will chemical paint remover be safe to use or will it burn through the plastic cable?

My mother has a special little tub that she puts the leftover bits of soap into. When it's full, she then shuts the lid and leaves it for a few days - hey presto! She has another bar of soap.

Only problem is, she bought it in the 1970s so even if she could remember where she got it, it's unlikely to still be on sale there.

My Auntie also has one that turns the little soap pieces into liquid soap, but she can't remember where she got hers either.

Meanwhile, I am left with lots of little bits of soap that are too small to use.

Can anyone help me to find a soap-saver? (if it's any use, I'm in Coventry, UK)
