I have a living room lamp that I got from IKEA. It had very bright white light for first 3 weeks but eventually the light turned gloomy and yellow. I tried changing a light bulb (150 W) but it was no use.
Does this ever happen to your lamp?
If you know any good lamp with super bright white light, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

I am wondering what would be the best brand to buy? I want to know the size, like 3.2 or 2.7! We have a small laundry room and I want to stay under $700. Durrability is a must. Any advice will help! Stores to get them too. Thanks.

i need to remodel my bathroom so im doing some research about what to use.

I need a new wall for the shower.
Today i was in Home Depot and saw this 4'x8' Tile board panels. They have a nice pattern like big tails with a line of decorated ones.
They seem to be some kind of wood or fiber with the patern coated in something harder. Kind of fiberglas but im not sure.

So i dont know if these are fine for a shower.
Can i use these panels safely or are they going to absorb water and moisture after some time?
How should i cut and join 2 parts so they look like one piece? This looks like a hard material and i don't want to have a line between the 2 parts. And how do i seal the joints so no water goes in between?. I would use silicone for the corners but i dont know what to do if i join 2 pieces in one wall.

Do you have any experience with this?.

How about cleaning them?

they are 23 bucks each panel vs a lot of work and more money if i would install regular tiles.

Thanks a lot!

I have a large garden for a city lot (880 sq. ft.) and love tomatos. I want to experiment with 5 different cultivars this year -Romas, Early Girl, Better Boy, Red Currant, and Jellybean. Can I plant them near each other without having to worry about cross-pollination and strange results? All the varities are indeterminate except the Romas. Also, can I plan tomatillos in the same area as the tomatos?

At least last May there were ton of worm in the dirt that we put in the cement hole. Do you think that the worms survived? I'm putting dog poop in the hole and I want it to decompose. How do I do that anyways?

It is a 3/8 socket that fits on a ratchet to fit over taps (to make threads) instead of a tap handle.
I saw it on the back of another tool packet I got from Canadian tire...

Does moving a hot tub/spa 10 miles across town hurt it in any way? Does it really compromise anything about the unit itself???

My neighbor has an unusual orchard. He has five apple trees, five peach trees, five pear trees, five apricot trees, and five plum trees. The trees are planted in five rows of five trees each. Each row and each column has exactly one of each variety and so do both center diagonals.
How are the trees planted?
