i need to cover up a small muddy lawn. Do I cover it with paving slabs similar to those laid elsewhere in the garden, or decking? I only need to cover a 3m2 area. What do you think would look best?

I put water in the tub (it's a jet tub or whirlpool - I don't know the difference) and just to see what would happen I pushed the button to turn on the jets. Then I turned it off and everything was fine. Long after I finished my bath, while in the other room, I heard a loud sound, like a jet taking off, and ran into my bathroom where I found the jets had come back on. I hurriedly put water in the tub as I've been told it's bad to have the jets on without water being in the tub. I kept pushing the button but the jets wouldn't stop running. I looked under the tub for a shut off or on/off switch but couldn't find anything. Then all of the sudden, the jets went off again - again for no apparent reason. I had to leave for work but left the water in the tub, just in case the jets came on again. Has anyone had this happen to them? Any thoughts on what's going on and/or how to keep this from happening again? Should I call a plumber or electrician for repairs, if it keeps happening?

My glasses have scratches in them caused by the dishwasher. They don't come out, and look awful. Don't the big detergent companies know this happens? And is there any way to prevent it? I use a rinse agent but it doesn't help.

My room is the smallest in the house, and it gets hot in the winter because the heat is turned up to properly heat the bigger rooms in the house.

I tried opening the window, but it's still hot.

The heat comes from a pipe that sticking out of the floor.

Is there anything that I can cover the pipe with to keep the room cooler?

Okay, maybe I was a tad melodramatic, but only to relay how truly unpleasant a task this is for me. A real idiosyncracy. My commode is clogged. I have one of those plungers with the rim tucked up inside, to form an opening around the inside of the plunger where things can get stuck. Like a trap. I hate germs, don't want to plunge because I know that ick is going to get trapped inside the plunger, and I don't want to remove it from the commode for the dripping all over my bathroom. I might as well toss the plunger, but I can't keep replacing them. This may sound trite, but it's really a dilemma for me. Suggestions most welcome and appreciated!

I'm switching classes and I need help organizing my binders. How do I organize my binders? Do I need just one binder, or 5 for all my classes. If I have just one binder i'll need notes, tests, homework, handouts for each subject, it will be too heavy and too full, I won't be able to close it, what do I do? How do I decorate it so it says me but not too much, it's totally cool, but not LAME! How do I do it?

The bathroom lights flicker when I turn them on and also when I am using the hair dryer. There is also a significant decrease in wattage with my hair dryer when this is happening.
Today is the first day I've noticed that the electrical plug-in on the wall is warm to the touch and the wall plate itself is crooked!
I want to be better prepared when I pass the complaint onto my landlord as to what it could possibly be.
Any ideas???

Thanks in advance!
