We have to recarpet our living room. It's about 5x4 meters. I can't find a website that will give me a quote, so in your experience/opinion, how much should it cost (we're not talking Oriental carpets here by the way). We'd be fitting it ourselves also. Or do you have any links to a website that wil give a quote?

The neighbor in back of us notified us that our dog was getting into his yard. We blocked the hole, but the fence is in need of repairs and we are not sure that it is OUR responsiblity, since this side of the fence may be their responsiblity (according to some friends). Others tell us as "good neighbors" we should share the cost, but they have seemingly left it all on us. What are the legalities in this situation? The "nice side" of the fence faces our house.

I live in a cul-de sac which has two entrances to it, one by road and one where cars cannot get through.(it is alot quicker to use this route, if on foot).
All the rubbish bins are situated near the close off entrance, this is because it is a lot easier for the rubbish van to pick up from, as it doesn't have to menouver through a tight spots, also because I think that they are lazy and can't be bovvered to drop the bins off in the correct place.
Because of this, everybody just uses anybody's bin(which ever one is empty and nearest.
No one recycles because no-one has got any of them blue/black/green tubs.
plus they would never get picked up.
Most of the people I have spoken to said they would like to recycle more, but because of the situation can't.
Do you think the council should do something about this?
What will happen when we get charged for our own waste?

I have a shallow well (about 6 ft) with a jet pump. A couple weeks ago it started short cycling. I went to check the tank pressure and water came out, so I replaced the storage tank. Water no longer comes out and i know i have it at the right pressure (26psi), but that didn't take care of the cycling problem. It seems like the switch is kicking on and off at the right time, but once it kicks off I hear this loud "wooshing sound", and the pressure drops back down to 35psi or so immediately. then if water is still running it will quickly kick back on as it soon reaches 30psi again. it is almost acting like the storage tank isn't even filling up because the pump runs on for about 10 sec, then off for about 4 seconds or so as the "whooshing"sound happens, then it just keeps repeating until the water is turned off. any ideas? maybe a bad foot valve or check valve somewhere? this is my first house with a well system, so it is all new to me. Thanks a bunch!

Can I use the carpet cleaner solution for the big carpet cleaner in my compact? Will it hurt it? The only difference between the two solutions is that one bottle says it's for compacts and the other says it's for the large cleaners.
