But he says he grouts first to fill in some of the holes and dips in the tumbled marble and then seals it. Which is correct or is it a matter of personal preference?

I have a cabin that must have the water lines drained in winter, to avoid lots of plumbing problems in spring. This is a well with a partially underground pump, so the pump is fine, but the lines beyond the cutoff at the pump must be drained. The cold water is no problem, but getting the maximum amount of water out of the hot water lines without draining the water heater is my challenge.When I turn off the faucet at the tank, it causes some water to remain in the pipes. It is not possible to disconnect the pipe at the heater, and after leaving the heater, the pipes are inside the concrete floor and do not emerge until they reach the bathrooms, Next to the heater is a sink, but I don't believe disconnecting that line will cause the others to drain either.
I will worry about the logistics if someone can explain the principle of why the one end being disconnected and the other being connected seems to form a partial siphon or vacuum or whatever it does.

We recently bought an Aurora "Micro-Marble" fireplace from a DIY store. We bought it on impulse and thought it was a good idea at the time.

It comes in 6 pieces including the hearth and the back panel.
The instructions are very minimal with basic diagrams which only tell us what goes where.

There were no fixings, no advice on how to assemble it or anything.

It looks to us like we need to use some sort of resin to bond the mantle and legs together, but what do we use? Whats going to be strong enough to hold it? Its so heavy!

Its only to house an electric fire, theres no chimney or flue to worry about so it's purely decorative, but it needs to be fixed together, and also anchored to the wall.

To be honest, we're regretting buying it, as we really have no idea what we're supposed to do but can't take it back now so we'd best get on with it.

Please if you know what we should be using and how to fix it I would very much appreciate your advice!
Many thanks & kind regards

my neighbor won't cut his weeds!!!?
My next door neighbor has not cut his weeds and grass for the longest time. We live in California and so their is no reason for him not to cut it. He does work a lot and so I rarely see him and when I do see him he does seem like a decent man but I'm a little disappointed in the way he doesn't maintain his yard. We live in a safe neighborhood and all the neighbors maintain it but what should I do??
