I've seen a bunch of houses where they put a fake candle in every window of their house. What is the purpose/origin of this?

I'm planning on relocating my bathroom upstairs. Now I won't be doing the work, but I'm curious as I'm told that the new toilet will (obviously) need to be linked into my drainage/soil pipe and I don't seem to have a manhole inspection cover. Both neighbours either side of me do have manholes but where I believe mine should be is the concrete floor of my conservatory (build ~15 years ago by the previous owners).

I'm pretty worried/concerned by this - should I be or is it normal for manhole inspection covers to be present at every other house on a terrace?

Thanks.

I have a woodstove in my living room that we use to keep the house warm and even though we do add water to the tree almost daily, it still dries up pretty fast. Anyone has any ideas ?
Thanks ;-)

I just watched a Flip this House episode and I saw the CEO hire a stager to stage the home. According to the show, this helps the home sell a lot faster and stay on the market by 40% less than average. When they staged the house, they basically put in furniture and different candles to make the home show better. Has anyone tried this before? I live in California, in the high desert and I am thinking of selling my home. I currently own a 2 bed 2 bath 1099 sqaure feet and I am interested in more info on this subject.

Seeking professional advice from fellow D.I.Y. folks. I am starting a complete bathroom remodel, What should I start ripping out first? We will still be using this bathroom off an on if needed, as a guest bathroom. Everything is coming out at one point.But I am not sure where to start. I am replacing or getting rid of the half paneling, the lighting, sink and huge avocado green vanity & cabinet, toilet, floor, wall paper under the 3 or 4 layers of paint, ceramic tile in the shower, and finally the bath tub. What would you start with??

My mom has this heavy king sized bed stand that she wants to get rid of. It was over $3,000 and still very brand new looking. Is there a place I can call that will come and pick it up for free?

When I moved into the house the living room smelt like something dead! I had the carpet cleaned and after a couple of days the smell went but if the kids spill any drinks etc (they're not allowed drinks in there anyway but sneak them in when I'm upstairs or the kitchen) the awful smell comes back. What can the smell be and what can I do about it - I can't afford a new carpet.

Every neighbourhood has one. The house that is covered in Christmas bling and lights on the roof, models in the garden, flashing strings of lights in the trees - stuff that you can see for miles (and need sunglasses when you get too close). Now some of these raise money for charity (but surely they're out of pocket by the time they've paid the electricity bill?). So are they a good idea. Or are they just a case of 'too much money, too many lights, too little taste' and a wish to upset their neighbours and lower the tone of the neighbourhood and make it look really chavvy?
