We just finished our snow flurry here near Toronto, Ontario Canada and now the days seem consistently warm (yesterday was between 15-20C / 59-68F). My grass height is long since i didnt cut it before the Winter season. I would like to cut it now but i am afraid it might be too early for the grass to handle such a thing. Can someone tell me if it is ok?

An installer cut a 28" by 28" whole in new drywall for a recessed medicine cabinet in my remodeled bathroom. I was unable to get the medicine cabinet and instead am getting a smaller one. If the whole that was cut out is replaced with drywall and recut for the smaller cabinet will it be noticible where the first cut was repaired?

We were planning to put a wood floor in our new extension sun-room - birch or something similar fairly light coloured. An interior designer thinks we should go for shiny cream porcelain tiles and now we don't know what to think. Any thoughts please?

I just inheritied 12 acres of land. I have never seen the land. I'm trying to picture in my mind just how big my new inheritance is!!Can you help me? If so, please provide a point of reference for me. For example, is it as big as a football field?; or will I be able to build a 3 bedroom home on it? I don't know much about land so I really need a point of reference.

Thanks.

I am moving into a new place. The bathroom has a regular light and a heating light. The light switch for the heating light was stuck, so I asked to have that fixed. Then I replaced the light bulb but it still did not work. The manager tried to make it work but each time both light switches were turned on they tripped the circuit breaker. Tonight I was there and by mistake switched on both light switches - it made a BZZZZ sound and all electricity was off for the entire apartment. None of the circuit breakers were tripped. I reset all of them, but the electricity didn't come on again. And the next question - how do you fix a circuit breaker (replace a fuse?).

Two weeks ago woman called the store wanting to return a fridge. She was upset since the sales person did not tell her the ice maker required a water connection. Is this a common occurence? I thought people who have used a fridge in the last 10 years knew that you need a water connection to make continous ice.

Woolworths have one reduced to £25 but I don't know if it would be any good. I mainly want to clean floors and carpets.

I tried watering more, watering less, more sun less sun, fertilizer... nothing seems to work. It seems pretty much toast at this point, but not being a green thumb I am not really sure!

I have bef but took some of the paint off. I used bleach/water. Also, it gave me an awful sore throat, even with good ventilation. There is no electric vent/fan in our bathroom, only a window. Anything else work better than bleach??

I think the idea is a french drain, and how would it work if i dug it out at a decent slope, and after filling it in with rocks i put soil and sod back on top to cover it up. this is on the lawn and i dont want to see the rocks. Its not gonna be a huge drain, probably only 10-15 feet, just sloping down away from the house. I live in maine, and was wondering it the rocks would make their way up to the lawn eventually, if so how could i prevent that, and if it would drain at all or just fill in. I dont want to pay for pipes and stuff, and dont want to make too huge a project out of it.
