I discovered what I thought were mouse droppings lying directly below a shuttered window on my house. After I poked and prodded the "mouse" behind the shutter, using a coat hanger, out flew a bat. Is it normal for a bat to be solitary? And were those bat droppings? Or do I have a mouse problem, too?

When I turned on the light, it made a big pop sound and the light bulbs did not light up. After a few choice words, I kept loading the washing machine. The washer would not start, and the circuit braker was blown. I reset the breaker and tried to start the washer. The light fixture again made a loud pop. I checked that the breaker was fully off, and opened the fixture, and took out the two bulbs. There was some soot on one bulb fixture and the warning label looked well browned.

I dont want to get taken by an electrician, so any clue as to what is wrong, and how to fix it is really appreciated. If it is something I can fix myself, that would be good too.

THANKS!!!!

I have a contemporary decorating style throughout my home. My livingroom colors are browns, reds, and oranges. I am having a hard time finding pictures I like to hang on the wall in the bathroom. Any decorating ideas you have will be great. Thank you!

Did you find it lonely? If so is it OK when you are settled in and do you feel content after a while? Is it OK as long as you keep yourself really busy during the day?

do you know the best way for me to do this? I don't have much knowledge or experience in terms of building... I am used to being in the office more than construction...

I would appreciate any non-judgemental input!

I usually only use cold water to wash clothes. Suddenly, it's barely a trickle, yet the warm and hot settings operate like usual. All other cold faucets in the house are working normally. The hot and cold water valves to the washer are wide open...what gives? Thanks!

Moved into my new home a year ago. The livingroom/diningroom/kitchen have an open floor plan and all share the same floral wallpaper. It has a warm or peachy light beige background and medium-sized flowers. Flowers are delicate, colored slate blue, warm medium tan/brown, and light tan/brown. None of my stuff from my old home seems to go very well with the wallpaper and I'm having a heck of a time figuring out what will go well with it. I lean toward a warm modern style and lively colors. All I can think is to try to match the medium-sized floral theme.......???? Need help with colors as well as pattern! Thanks.
