I know to unplug everything first. But when the bulb is broken off, it is hard to grab ahold of anything to unscrew the bulb. Is there any other way?

My church is revamping our SS classrooms. One room is to be a theatre like room for the kids to act. In the room, we have a stage already built up against one wall. I would like it to look like the inside of a theatre maybe with christian based movie posters on the walls. All painting will be from floor to ceiling which includes all doors. Any ideas?

I work in a kitchen and, in an attempt to clean the floor underneath the dish machine, one of my co-workers poured delimer. It is a dark brown tile floor, and, when the delimer dried/soaked in, it left a dry, white, powdery residue embedded in the floor. It also gave off a horrible stench. Now, we cannot figure out how to make this problem disappear. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what type of cleaning product to use on this??? Thank you!

I bought a wooden toilet seat approximately 8 weeks ago from a well known DIY store (UK). The toilet seat is used in the main family bathroom, which tends not to get used very often as we use the en-suite more. Last night I noticed that the seat, which cost about £25, had a huge split in the wood that had literally appeared from nowhere. The seat had not been dropped, banged or anything like that. I phoned the store up this morning and explained the situation. Obviously, after we knew that the seat fitted, we threw the packaging and receipt away. The assistant told me that it was up to the duty manager to decide whether he would replace it. She very quickly asked him as she said he was right next to her (coincidentally I thought) and came back and said that unless I had proof of purchase, they would do nothing. The seat was their own make and I explained this but she repeated herself. I think that they have a duty to exchange it as it is obviously not fit for use but what are my rights

I have bleed the radiator and every other one in the house (there was no air in any of them). I have checked both valves (the thermostatic valve is not sticking). There is another radiator on the other side of the wall that works perfectly. I have a combi boiler and the pressure is about 1.5 bar when cold and 1.8 bar when hot. It stopped heating up about 2 weeks ago and as I said was gradually getting cooler over about a 2 week period. I could feel the intal pipe was hot but the is now not hot any more. I was wondering whether there is pressure from the outlet pipe stopping the water from flowing through...

You know, those tops (blouses) that have a crumpled fabric that does not need ironing. Our not-so-informed iron-lady ironed it! It does not look so good anymore :( Help!

I would like to extend my current small kitchen by utilizing the existing concrete patio that is directly conected to the kitchen area. A sliding glass door separates the two. I reside in Los Angeles county. A friend of mine stated that the patio may not be deep enough to meet code and be used as a foundation.
Also, would this be something I should try myself?

Thanks!

I have five, 4' single bulb flourescent fixtures that I want to replace all on one circuit. They are old and have trouble keeping bulbs in place and I constantly replace bulbs. I have a drop ceiling and would like to replace with recessed lights, but I am worried the wattage would be too much for the circuit to handle. Has anyone experienced this repair before? Would I be better off just replacing the old flourescent fixtures with new ones?

I went to San Jose, CA yesterday and looked at 10-12 shops and no one had a black table. They had dark cappiccino or dark brown. We actually bought a dark cappiccino .. only to find that in yellow light (inside the house) it glows red :(. Purchasing online would make it had to return. It's hard to find contemorary (straight lines) black table.

The jersey is rather expensive and has a number on it. Material it is made of is 100% polyester. We tried putting a little bleach on a q-tip and putting it just on the crayon and tried Zout(otc stain remover which is very good) and you can still see it, though it has lightened it considerably. I told her it will get lighter each time, but he's spazzing out about it. (It is barely noticeable) Any suggestions how to remove it even more?

We just bought a house and this morning I was washing clothes and water came from under the washer. Doesn't make any weird noises, runs just fine. I have never dealt with this before.

This is a follow up question to one asked earlier:

Many people said that there are satefy concerns, even life threatening, but didn't elaborate. Others, on the other hand, said that there is no point in switching to breaker panels.

Besides the convenience of breaker panels, can you elaborate what are the safety concerns to upgrade from fuses to circuit breaker? ... or is this a myth?

Thanks
