Home & Garden - 3 April 2007

I'm fairly certain I want Laminate (wood) flooring for my high traffic area i.e. Living room, kitchen, dinning room. I'm remodeling and have taken up the old carpet and lenoleum (sp?) I've been into all the home improvement stores and have looked at a lot of them. Which is the best? Which brand has the best wear and warranty. Which one seems to be the best value for the buck? I've found a brand and style that I like at Lowes but it seems expensive at $4.37 a square foot and I have to special order it. I don't care for the stock laminate that costs less. Anyone know where the best place (maybe on-line) to look for reliable laminate flooring and good service. I need to cover about 575 square feet. Thanks everyone!

This is probably a really stupid question, but im wondering if anyone else has had the same problem. I shouldnt be so naive as im easily fooled on shopping channels!! I've connected it all properly & read the instructions, waiting for the lights to come on to say its reached the right temp. But its taking ages to steam, i've left it max 30 mins. I know nothing looks like it when its on the telly. Help!!!

I am a US military member stationed in the UK and I brought my US 220v hot tub with me and now I cannot find an electrician who will hook it up for me. I'm not an electrician, so I've no clue what I'm doing. Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I just bought a house and would love to plant some vegetables in my back yard. I don't know a lot about gardening so I would like to know of some easy vegetables to start with.

Saw a tool like a paint roller frame, without the normal handle, just a straight shaft. Slip roller over frame, put shaft in power drill, then in dustbin, start drill...spin dry roller. Any ideas where I can get one in uk? links are great.
The object of this tool is to spin dry/ clean the paint roller

Hi,
I've got an algae problem in my pond, and this year i'm going to try the barley straw approach, I have a large pond so i got a whole bale of straw.
My question is, is it ok to submerse the straw in a hessian bag/sack as opposed to a mesh veg bag/sack. Would the hessian rot when underwater, also is there any reason not to submerse those veg sacks with it being plastic or coloured?
Thanks for reading and also for any help you can give me.
Jamie.
