Should I do one certain job a day instead of ??compieling?? them into one day?

like
run the vaccumm on monday
clean bathrooms on tuesday

-or-
do them all in the morning on one day?
and the laundry with it

because I would have to do the laundry all in one day at the cleaners

so should I clean all the apartment one morning and then go to laundry or would it work better if I did one each day?

compost and some gritty topsoil. Where do I get "poor soil" to pot them on into, would a mix of sand and potting compost be well drained and poor enough for them ? The soil in my garden is heavy clay ,so I can't use that.

So we are finally getting around to remodeling out tiny kitchen. We are going to re-paint the walls a very pale shade of green, re-paint the cabinets white and all of the trim will get a new coat of white paint too. We are looking to lighten up the space and make it look bigger. We have been told that the lighter colors help to do that. We are also wanting to put in Laminate Hardwood floors. We are looking at a pale blonde color. Will this color be okay with all of the other lightness in the room? or should we go with a medium brown floor?

I've had pretty bad refrigerator odors. I've tried bleach, baking soda and some other things. Found a carbon product called Fridge It which works really well. Just curious if anyone else know this product and where else to find it.

We had a powersurge at my house a few day's ago, stormy day. When I got home, my brother had removed the light switch in this room, claiming it was 'broken. I checked it, it's not even burned! Could it be damaged, or is just likely that he's a bit retarded?

Also, the little green nubbs behind the flowers, are those seeds? Are they to be cut also? I got a grea buy on them. So I bought a bunch.

I've received several twinsets of "excellent" towels recently as gifts. Each of the sets 1) sheds like mad, even after washing twice, and 2) just doesn't absorb water!

I'm no plumbing expert by any stretch of the imagination but have a simple (i think?!) question about rad valves for any plumbers or heating experts out there. I am trying to replace my rad valves on some fairly large rads in a house I just bought. The valves themselves are quite old.

The feed pipes going into the valve are 15mm copper pipes but at the thread of the valve where it screws onto the rad, the size seems to be about 22mm or so. All the DIY shops I go to only seem to sell the rad valves at 15mm connections to the rad. I've been told this is the new British standard. Is it no longer possible to pick up valves with a 22mm (or thereabouts) thread to screw onto the rad?

What color will look good on my walls to match my new walnut panel flooring without making the apartment looking dark? I should of painted first before installing the panels but my baby suffers from chronic asthma and I had rugs so I had to remove them before a nurse comes to the apart to check triggers of asthma.
