First i would ask a electicain to do it, however i was just wondering if it was possible i.e. to walk into my preposed new build living room and switch on the sockets from a switch beside the light switch, then switch on the phone sockets from another switch, again beside light switch. to clarify to turn everything on when i go in to a room with ease, and turn everything off when i leave the room with ease. Also i thought the formate of light switch would be good because it would blend in with the other switches, ps. thanks for all the replys so quick .

I read a "do-it-yourself" on how to fix a leaky faucet. However, I can't find any knobs behind, under or around anywhere to shut the water off! I have a wall mounted sink with no cabinet underneath. Any idea where I could look ? Do I have to try and find the main water valve and shut the water off to the entire house??

I decided against binding so I went ahead and sewed the edges of the quilt together and turned it right side out. I was then going to machine quilt it but it keeps puckering, won't lay flat, etc. Does anyone have any solutions? Help!!
