Home & Garden - 7 June 2007

We generally keep our air condidtioning at home around 73 degrees. During the day we sometimes raise it to 75 and shut the blinds to keep it cool. Is this costing us more than just leaving it at 73 all the time?

I keep trying to buy sheets and they say "Full" sized but they are always huge on my mattress. I just bought the mattress so I'm sure that it is a full size... and it's not because the sheets are too deep because the sheets actually don't fit from corner to corner, they're always about a foot too big and loose sheets are so uncomfortable!!! Help! Are there different sizes in full sized sheets??

Moth balls do not work … someone mentioned creating a border with crushed lime rock as it will burn their skin; is this true? Can anyone help?

Hia guys, I'm moving in to a new house soon, and would like to create a household tool kit full of the essentials, so thought I'll ask what you guys think it should contain?

Cheers

I am installing a ceiling fan for my master bedroom. Problem is: I have one light switch and the fan is a fan/light combo. Hence the electrical problem.

There is no Red wire in the ceiling coming out of the box. Only black, white and ground.

As of today, I have installed the ceiling fan because an employee of Lowes said it was fine to attach the black and blue on one line. Unfortunately, this turns the fan and lights on at comparable levels. (i.e. fan on low, lights dim. Fan on high, lights bright.) I was wondering how to install a wire/switch that would contain a 3-wire combo instead of my existing 2-wire?
