We've always had a slight problem with light bulbs in the livingroom, but recently the problem seems to be getting worse.
We were rewired last year so ther are no problems with the wiring and the light fixture is fairly new . Please help I am sick of changing light bulbs.

I just planted one the other day and it consists of tomatoes, squash, green pepper, and cucumbers. Okra will be added soon too. Any tips on how to keep it growing well? I'm kinda new to this and want it to work out. Any help is very much appreciated.

I have a serious black fly situation on my nastursiums, and since I want to eat them I dont really want to use pesticide however 'safe' the label says it is. Does anyone have any tips on how to get rid of them without using it please? I guess organic gardeners would know?
many thanks

Hi everyone, would anyone in the London area happen to know where I can find a decently inexpensive round glass tray for a microwave oven Daewoo?
On the eBay I can find some but they are way too pricey...I wouldn't spend more than £5 for it
Can't believe they ask for over £17 plus 6 quid postage...ridiculous!!!

I have only been living in my house for less than a year, but I really want to make sure I get my security deposit back. This is my first time renting. I am moving out in two weeks and I've already scheduled someone to clean everything after I move out. My big concern is the walls. I think the house is a little bit old because when I tried to nail some pictures on the wall, it started to crumble and fall apart leaving me with 3 or 4 1/4"-1/2" holes in the wall! Is it better to try to fix it myself, hire someone or risk losing my deposit? I was planning on filling the holes with wall putty and painting over them, but I'm afraid I won't be able to match the paint.

We are soon moving into a home we bought and the neighbors said the house has been vacant for almost a year but the owner has been coming by to do work on it occasionally.

I don't know how often the owner was there or if they used the toilet, but the electricity and water are still turned on, so maybe he used the septic system a little while he was there.

Anyways assuming it hasn't been used in almost a year:

What do I need to do to start it?

What sort of problems should I look out for if it hasn't been used?

Are there any shut off valves or anything I should know about?

Anything I need to do if it starts to back up? The house is near a river.

I've never had a septic tank before and this will be our first home.

I've heard of using yeast to keep it working properly:

How much yeast do I use to start it?

And how much yeast and how often do I use to maintain it?

Thanks for any help you can give me!

I put my foot through my four year olds's pine table which he eats at and is very precious to us both. Had it a long time! It is a clean break, and yes, I know i should have used the ladder but there was someone else on that! I will learn from this one tho! Never stand on a kids table when you have a roller full of yellow gloss in your hand! Thank you...xxx

We have guests coming tomorrow and I am taking it upon myself to do the tasks my father left out. The fridge is full of spoiled food (milk, veggies, OLD leftovers etc) and it smells rank. Where do I start? How do I clean the fridge so it smells good and keeps the fresh new food from getting infected with germs/bacteria? I've never had to do this, I've always kept my fridge fresh and clean. Please help I must do this before bed tonight. Thanks so much!

the craft is a toadstool built from the large saucer that usually goes with a terra cotta flower pot. You paint it, decorate it. I have that done.
you need to get a wine bottle and a hollow pipe that is able to fit into the wine bottle for support when you put it in the ground. My problem--I can't find metal pipe 1/4 inch to fit into the opening in the bottle. maybe copper, but that is too soft and too quick to rust or rot. (the pipe and top f the bottle will be in the ground.
can anyone tell me where i can find that size of some kind of hollow pipe? pvc is not hard enough.
Or if anyone can think of anything else i can use as a pedestal for my toadstool in the yard??
thanks to anyone reading all this and trying to help.
