I am about to embark on an extension. At the end of this project I will have (downstairs) sitting room, large living / dining room, kitchen, utility room and cloakroom toilet. (upstairs) I will have 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with bath and showers fitted.

Looking for the best system for this house. Obviously, require instant hot water but realise that combi boiler (condensing obviously) will be enough to supply hot water to taps downstairs etc, so any solutions out there I am willing to listen. Sensible answers only please (for once)

Just moved into a new rental. The toilet flushes completely (i.e. makes the nice gargling sound at the end of the flush, with almost all of the water out of it) only once every few flushes. The rest of the time it will only partially flush and leave tp and extra water in the bowl. If I then try to use a plunger only some of the time does it seem like I am able to dislodge it. The rest of the time plunging it decreases the water level, and then after the resevoir fills it then will completely flush the next time I depress the lever. Holding the lever down until the water line has completely dropped does not seem to massively help. Any advise other than replacing the toilet?

It's just one single door on a small bar fridge. There's a left and right hand door grip so it can be changed. I just have no idea how to get to the hinge and change it.

I just moved into my place & haven't quite picked out the "feel" of how I want the space to look. I have our (mine & husbands) bed & the kids beds, a kitchen table & nothing else. We moved over 600 miles & sold or gave away all of our funiture (very old). Anyway, with the holidays coming & friends & family guaranteed to stop by I need furniture quick! I don't have alot to drop on a complete makeover & I refuse to use the plastic so close to Christmas. How about those rental furniture places? They seem like such traps. You end up paying double the price of the furniture. Should I just get a livingroom set for the holidays & send it back?

have any suggestions of what I should do in the meantime? I don't think I'll be able to sleep. I'm going to thoroughly vacuum my mattress (I don't have a boxspring) and floor, and my bed frame. My landlady says it'll take up to 4 fumigations, once a week, to get rid of them. Also, she says to wash all my bedding in hot water and store any clothing that will be on/near the floor, like stuff in my laundry basket, in plastic garbage bags so they can't get in. Are the clothes hanging in my closet safe? My shoes? Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated.

The thing is I had never had this particular problem in my home. I do keep an immaculate house, because me and my child suffer allerigic reactions to varios stuff ( including dust ). We were blessed with house guests last week, and after they left I detected some moth in a closet. I do know about moth balls and am terribly allergic to the smell. I also went out and bought out the entire store of seadar bars. However, I am still seeing moth. So, if you can share any advice which might help me to deal with this problem once and for all, I would truly appreciate it. Thank you.
