Home & Garden - 30 May 2007

I need to move this month and I found out short notice so I need to find a really cheap sofa, I'm not picky, since all my funds are going toward my apartment. Any ideas for some place in Oklahoma City?

I just bought a toilet and had a handyman install.
It wobbles.
He said it is because the tile floor below is not level. Our old toilet, however- did not wobble.
He said give it a week to see if it sets in.
What's really going on? Did I get a crappy installation?
How do I fix this?

Hello,
I have a gravity fed (both cold and hot) thermostatic shower which is very slow. I do not want to install a pump. If I change the shower with manual shower (i.e. both hot and cold water depends on manual tap adjustments), Do I get a better flow?

Thanks.

I live in So Or in zone 7 where it gets 2 105 in the summer's hottest &10 degrees-20 as average lowest. I am retired &have decided 2 make my flower beds into bark & shrubs. I am not an artist, have no idea 4 color& detail. I am the farmer part of the flowers. I have it ready 2 get bushes & shrubs, I am on a very tight, fixed budget, & I would like to get Evergreen, non-deciduous for shrubs & plants. I guess I want it all, cheap, pretty, all year,& I can do lots with seeds, but shrubs& bushes cost so much. I do need to at least get started with a plan that includes heighth, color etc. I live in the city on a city lot where my flower beds which are on average about 4 ft. wide, great soil, and across the front by sidewalk and in front of house. By sidewalk they get hot full sun in summer and in front of house, hard spot, they get hot full AFTERNOON SUN (west facing). I also realized today I want something that grows fast Anything average is fine, I dont like them but easier

Bought a new Kenmore dishwasher. Is it normal for the first time using it, that the wash cycle goes so long? I do not quite understand what the delay button is supposed to be for? Anyone know of this model? Thanks.

The tail is furry, looks round, but not longer than the body. It's brown. We live in CT, and have a waterway beside our house. I've seen it swim. It does not seem to be a muskrat because the tail is not scaly.

I have a space problem in a rental home. The kitchen is also the laundry. Short of building a wall, what other ideas could be used to divide the space?

PLEASE READ ALL THIS INFO BEFORE ANSWERING THE QUESTION!!!

I'm designing the wiring for my new house and with all the electrical appliances in the office (computer etc) is there not a 4 gang plug socket on the market instead of having to install two 2 gang sockets next to eachother?!? If not why not!

Or am i just not looking hard enough?!?

For the record - I have searched for various 4 gang sockets and have found a thing called a 1 or 2 gang converter to a 4 gang socket but this is useless... a) It sticks out of the wall by 25mm!! b) That means it'll look stupid! and c) It's not the correct solution to my problem!

Someone mentioned to me a system using smaller slimline plugs... has anyone seen or heard of this?
