Home & Garden - 10 December 2007

My shower faucet (tub/showerhead one lever combo) broke today, so I'm now turning on the water with a pair of pliers. I'd like to just replace the broken faucet (about 25 years old) with a new one from Delta. I don't know what brand the old one is. How easy is this task? Are the directions clear? Any problems or pearls of wisdom from experience?

Or do I just find a handyman to do it? (And if so, approximate cost.)

There's so much to to today. The straightening up and cleaning I need to do is making my head spin. I need a plan. Any suggestions?

I KNOW I need to get off the computer- so leave that part out, okay? Thanks. :)

The heat has been working fine until we woke up this morning and the house was frigid. There is no heat coming from the baseboard heaters. What can I do? I have a two year old at home. :(

I have a very high vaulted ceiling. The ceiling is like that in the living room and kitchen...which is basically one big room. In the kitchen there is a ceiling fan. With it being winter in here Nebraska I want to keep as much heat in the house as possible! I know heat rises, so should I have my ceiling fan going clockwise or counter clock wise? Or should I leave it off?? Please help!
