Home & Garden - 5 October 2007

My existing oven is fitted with a cable and plug, new one needs to be hardwired. It says in the instructions for the new oven not to use cable and plug.

The socket is a dedicated one for the cooker and has it's own breaker on the distribution unit.

Can I simply remove the socket behind the oven and use a length of the correct cable to connect the oven to it? (using the correct connectors obviously).....Or do I need some kind of device with a fuse in it?

one 'column' off the bulb was flickering slightly when the switch was off.
i thought this might be a faulty bulb so changed it but the new one also does the same thing.
is this dangerous?
any ideas?

thanks in advance

I am replacing the tile in my kitchen and having trouble getting the old tile up. The tiles are 12 inch squres, I'm not sure what they are made of, something like linoleum I think. When it was installed it had pre-glued backing and I would like to know the easiest way to remove it. THANKS

I have venetian blinds in every room. Anyone got a good idea on how to clean them. I have bought various "tools" from houseware shops but they are all quite useless. I suppose the secret is not to allow them to get too dirty i.e. dust them every other day, or once a week ......anyway just thought I would ask

I have heard of it being done before, and I read the bucket and it says let it cure for 90 days. What happens if you don't wait 90 days? Does it peel off? Crack off? Polar bears die?

I can't find a hive, I don't know what kind of honeybee they are, I live in So. Calif in a beach community, pest control hasn't helped, kits at the hardware stores only catch other types of bees like wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets.
