I have a lighted nativity scene just a couple seasons old with a small section that no longer lights. It is the very last of the rope which is soldered into the power cord.

My kitchen cabinets are starting to pull away from the wall slightly and I'm wondering how I should fix it. Now, the cabinets are fastened to the wall in the back and it's my far left corner cabinet that is pulling away from the side wall that's the issue. There is a 1.5" gap between the side wall and my cabinet, but the front face of the cabinet extends to the wall and it's 3/4" thick. It's this front portion that has a slight gap between itself and the wall. It used to be flat against the wall and in fact the top still is, it's the bottom portion that has a gap. How can I fix this?

It is a ceiling light that is part of a fan. My husband and I have both seen it happen. The lightswitch is off but it makes a "pop" sound and flashes deep blue for a split second.

Any ideas?

The wires providing electric to the house are showing. they run underground to the house and then through a conduit to the meter. I think there is too much wire showing to just throw dirt on it and have it look right so it appears a new, longer conduit is needed. The guy from the electric company said it was my responsibilty since it was connected to the house. Was he just saying that since it was friday night or is that the case? Isn't everything up to the meter their responsiblity since they'd have to shut off the electric to remove the wires and put a new conduit on?

i have a bunch of very dirty and very expensive stuffed animals... a sing adn snore ernie, one of those teddy bears with the fiber optic lights, another bear that makes twilight noises... i was thinking about putting them in my dryer on the lowest setting with a couple wet towels to see if they come out any cleaner... do you think this would work or just do more harm?

I am switching out a light switch and I found that it has three wires and a fourth if you count the ground wire. The really odd thing is, I replaced a switch and instead of turning the closet light on and off it is turning the room light on and off. Do you have any suggestions.

i recently removed faux brick which had been cemented to an indoor wall by prying the brick off with a chisel. this left much of the sheet rock damaged including some holes (although not completely through the sheet rock). rather than replace the sheet rock i am looking for some ideas of creative wall treatments to cover the space with.
