Our window cleaner is supposed to be painting our house. I paid him £100 up front for the materials and he hasn't turned up yet (it's 12.45pm and the sun is shining).
On a scale of 1 to 10, how stupid am I?

while it is dry I have gotten 3 estimates to get rid of the problem, 2 of them are very expensive, but guarantee no water infiltration. the other that is affordable guarantees no water infiltration through my front basement wall which is the one that is completely underground. I need a way to find out if water is coming through the other 3 walls. I live on a hill and the front wall is the highest point, the rear wall is almost a walk out, with less than 1 foot of wall below grade, the 2 side walls slope in grade between the front and rear. is there something I can spray on the wall that will show me if water is flowing through there?

I live in a student house in Canterbury, Kent, England, where I believe the water is not hard. My housemates and I do not have a tumble dryer and our washing machine is a Candy Aquaviva 1000. We normally dry clothes using an indoor airer. When they dry the clothes are hard, crispy and very stiff.

This is the case for all my housemates despite the fact that we all use different brand detergents. When I wash the same clothes in my parents' house in the Midlands the clothes come out of the wash lovely and soft. I also use 'easy-iron' clothes softener but this does not help.

Could anyone give me advice as to why the clothes come out stiff and crispy and what we can do about it?

Many thanks in advance.

We've open the machine, cannot find where the filter is. It appears to go through the cycle.

Usually around 00:30 a really strong stink of fish enters our house.
but it's mainly just in one area of the house.
it's been downstairs in our living room, our dining room, a bedroom and the halls.
it drives my mum CRAZY.

we not long had our whole house decorated, re-done the electric, new kitchen all because our hall smelt a bit old and damp.
so you can imagin what she's like now only just spending thousands of pounds on getting rid of a smell.

(could it be the fact that one of the builders messed something up?)

please help us. we want to know what it is and why it comes.
thanks.

Turn on the shower, and the shower curtain moves inside the shower stall towards the water spray. The faster or more volume of water sprayed means the curtain moves toward the spray faster and closer to the spray. Why?
