I need to find 50 inch or 4 ft 1.5 inch bed base to fit in my bedroom. It has to be as near this dimension as possible. I live in Luton in UK and would have to get it delivered. It should not be outrageously expensive as well.

Please forgive me as I hardly have any home electrical experience. My sister plugged in a fan heater in her room and it blew a fuse, I went down and reset them by switching all of them off and on and still nothing. I turned off power to the house and turned it back on and still nothing. Any thing I can try that might help? Only certian appliances and lights work in the house, I am guessing that they are on different circuits. Thanks

I just bought a new tabletop water cooler from Wal Mart, and a 5 gallon bottle of Hinckley water from the Home Depot to install on it. I followed the manufactures cleaning instructions before use, and before installing the water bottle. The water tasted great for the first couple of days, but now has a bad aftertaste. Should i flush the cooler out again, and install a new bottle of water? Does this water have a shelf life? Could i have gotton some bad water?

The ants have taken over to such an extent that the grass is dying and the ground is becoming sandy. Is there an inexpensive treatment or maybe any home remedies you know of?

And how do you do it? Is there a nut beneath the mower you need to remove or do you turn the whole thing over? Thanks.

I live in SW Minnesota, and am planning to finish my basement. I have been researching this subject online, and have come across floating walls. The sites say that because of the large temperature changes, floating walls are necessary to prevent damage to walls or foundations when the concrete moves (due to the temp changes). I have asked numerous people in the area about floating walls, including someone who used to do carpentry. I included a link to one of the wesites I read below. Does anyone know if this is necessary, or common in SW Minnesota? Any experience with floating walls?
