I can't figure out if the C for cold is on the right or left side. If right side, does this mean I have to turn the handle to the right to get cold water?

Also my handle is not a knob it is more of a lever. If cold is on the right I would actualy have to move the lever to the left to get the pointer to move to the right.

Help what is the standard here? Is it the same for sink faucets?

The first word in my question should have 'which'.

It's a smoke/CO alarm, so they both have separate lights for each. So it's not the CO alarm that's going off, it's the smoke alarm. But i smell nothing and it's been doing this for months, i had to take the battery out of it. I know it's not safe but it hurts my ears everytime it goes off. And i tried putting a new battery in it, so that's not it. We even tried blowing in there to see if something somehow had gotten in there to set it off, but that didn't work. So, please give me REAL responses, i don't know if i should just get a new one or not. We have no other ones in the house either.

I am replacing a ceiling rose with a pendent light and on removing the cover of the ceiling rose, I can see three red wires going into three blocks termed loop. Now when I wire the new light up I know from previous little jobs that the black/blue neutel wire wire up together as do the red/brown live, but I am looking at three red wires connected to the "loop" section of the ceiling rose. Do I put these into seperate compartments in the block or put them together.
Thanks in advance

I have seen so many conflicting opinions on the internet about putting a laminate floor down in the kitchen. Our tile in the kitchen has broken in many places, so I'm not sure I want to go with tile again. I'm interested to know what others' opinions are about the best type of flooring for a kitchen. I'd appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks.

...I can hardly see out the windows!

If I cut them back to where I want them, there will be little or no green left on them.

I don't know what kind of shrubs they are.

If I can hack 'em back, when's the best time to do that?
Can I do it now? I live in the northeast, if that matters.

Thanks!

In my area, many dogs regularly *** and ***** (i'm a witness) and lick my neighbors' windows. Of course, that kind of behavior makes me furious, but mysteriously, clovers grow on the ground exposed to dog secretions. So my question is, precisely, what kind of relationship stands between the chemical components in a dog's organism and the prerequisites for a clover to grow?

My lawn is covered by crab grass and I try pulling it out but it leaves more bare spots on my lawn then more of the crab grass and weeds seem to come and grow. I have a cat that goes outside, therefore, I don't want anything toxic on my lawn.

Interested in homes built in late 1990s to present. I have always noticed how the upstairs in a two story home is always significantly warmer that the downstairs. This does not appear to be efficient.

My central heat & air unit is a little too small for my house (my landlord finally admitted it, but doesn't feel that its enough of a difference to have it changed it). This causes it to never get to the exact temperature needed & stay long enough for the unit to cut off. I'm concerned that my electric bill is going to be sky high. My landlord assures me that because it's a smaller unit, it is actually going to use much less power. That even though it never shuts off, that doesn't mean it will run my power bill up. Is he right or is he just saying that to get me to shut up (for now)?

"I have hand-me-down furnishings in my apartment. The sofa and loveseat are in a wedgewood blue shade. The floors and tables range from medium light brown to medium dark brown. How can I do a nautical theme using these furnishings?"
