Home & Garden - 28 August 2007

I want to buy some of this floor LED lighting for my home theater but dont know what its called, I've tried googleing it but not come up with any solid suppliers. its used in the plane floor and cinema floors to direct people to an exit in case of a fire. I think it will look cool in my home cinema, just need to know the name and ideally a supplier. Thanks

Three weeks ago my lawn mower would not start so I decided to try changing the gas so I walked up to the gas station to get some gas (my first time doing this). I accidentally got premium gas and put it in my lawn mower. It started up fine and was running smooth untill it started to cut off every once and a while and i would have to let it sit for about 15 minutes before starting it again. Know three weeks later it wont start or it will start for a few minutes and then cut off with smoke coming out of it. Can some one tell me what is going on and how to fix it.

I live in Texas and these non-native non-endangered Mediterranean Geckos have made havoc for me and my friends. One of them got in the wiring of my house and started a small fire that almost burnt down my house. A friend of mines two year old daughter was playing with one (not a pet, a wild one) that was in her house and she put it in her mouth the parents after realizing what happened removed the gecko, afterwards she got salmonella and was hospitalized for over a week ... she nearly died.

I know people love these animals, but just like squirrels, rats, and snakes these animals are a pest for homeowners. On yahoo answers so far all I have heard is how beneficial these lizards are for eating bugs; however they are small and only eat a few bugs a day, and I can kill more bugs with pesticides. I am not going sit idly by while these pest destroying my house and endanger children. I need real help!

Thanks in advance

We are replacing our bathroom floors ... which were carpet (ugh) and aren't sure which is best for our new home. Previous homes have been linoleum. We have 3 kids and 2 dogs.

What do you think? Also, what about grouting stains/problems?

Thanks

So, I've been wanting to give my kitchen a face lift but I am afraid of picking the wrong colors. My kitchen cabinets have a dark brown color and I want to use apples as my kitchen theme. What color would look good? I was thinking of a light red and green door and door frame but I am not sure... What do you think?

The kitchen is gallery style and pretty small (8ft long by 7ft wide). The range is on the right side of the kitchen. I want to move to the left. The distance will be about 7 feet. Also I live in an apartment building. Is moving this range even possible?

I moved my washer/dryer out to my garage, and I have a problem now... of course. anyway the volume of water that my washing machine is pumping out is too much for the pipe (or the distance it has to go or something) anyway is there anyway to slow down the flow of water out of my washing machine? or am I screwed?
Thanks.
sincerely.

It has carpet, wallpaper, painted walls and wood floors. The wood floors appear stainless.

Is this a lost cause?

I re-piped my house myself. Everything with permits. Inspector checked it and he was happy (second time - not first time, but then I saved ton of money doing it myself).
Re-piping was part of another project - I am doing major remodel (new electrical, new low voltage, new piping, new kitchen, insulation, new bathroom, new drywall, new siding, new furnace / water heater etc).
Because repring is part of another project, I had walls open for some time. About a month after I run piping and passed inspection, I noticed that one of the t-shape connectors is dropping water - one drop every 30 sec or so.
I am going to fix it this weekend, but I have a more generic question:

What can I do to make sure all the connections are correct?
What can I do to alert myself if in future there is problem with one of the pipes? Is there some sort of hi-tech device that I can hide in the wall?
