Home & Garden - 10 November 2006

Hi,
I have a 60 year old house. While doing an addition, I discovered that the outlets were running from the panel, through the kitchen, to the living room, and then the garage. Was this the normal way to wire back then?? Every time I have the TV( living room), washer (garage), Frig and microwave (kitchen) on, the circuit breaker trips. I am doing the wiring for my new addition, and can put the living room and garage on a seperate circuit. Is this wise?? It sounds like a good idea, but I want to make sure.
Thanks for your time

Things around the house other that the obvious bugsprays. They keep coming back and I would like to know if there are things around the house that can repel them.

You know the toys were you can squeeze the water out of? Almost every toy we have spews black bacteria type stuff out among the water. It's gross. After the kids' bath I always try to empty the toys water out so it doesn't fester there but still, everytime there is the same junk. Any simple cleaning tips on that?

Can anyone tell me how much damage can a mole do or several at that. I hate to kill them if there isn't any harm done. Do they damage trees, fruit trees, plants, what?

I'm hitting it with a metal hammer as hard as I can in the same spot, over and over but it won't break or even crack! It's like super glass!

When the cable company hooked up my internet they left the cable sitting in the middle of the floor between my dining room and my living room, not only does it not look good, it's a tripping hazard. Any suggestions on how I should go about covering it up?

I have a pocket knife (swiss), and I can't open up most of the tools anymore, they are really hard to open/shut with my thumb. What can I do to fix this?

If I am painting my walls a light green color, would it look funny if I painted the trim/doors a cholcolate brown? Are you supposed to paint trim or doors any other colors than white?

I know that the best option is to hang them up to dry but I just found towels & swimsuits from my kids' last trip to the YMCA in a bag. I've tried washing with laundry soap and fabric softener as usual but there is still a slight smell.
