I live in a townhouse where we have alot of rooms and are decent sizes but our living room is a bit small. We have a huge finished basement that we turned into a family room. So the living room is more of just a sitting room. In it we have A nice cozy chair, a bookcase, desk, a nice entertainment center that has 2 doors that close it all up. We have ficus tree and some plants in there as well. The carpets look awful. We want to replace them with hardwood floors but worry it will effect the resell value (its a family home and we fear parents won't want hardwood floors in their living room). We also worry what hardwood floors would look like in a small room. Would it make it look smaller, bigger or make no difference?

Yeah, I'm being serious here, I was walking home last night and one of those little b@stard$ jumped out and beat the crap out of me, leaving me with a black eye and cuts and bruses all over my face. Then to top it off he stole my purse and took all my stuff in it! What should I do?

I am getting a lot of mail for several previous tenants. I don't have any forwarding addresses and some of the mail looks pretty important.

How much sense does it make to wear white when you get paint on your clothes all day?

Does anyone know of any legislation, if any, that regulates overhanging branches from trees and shrubs in residents gardens. Walking the dog at night, we are constantly bombarded with overhanging trees and thick stray shrubbery that invade the pedestrian path. This has caused cuts to the face, eye damage and all in all a nuisance that houseowners simply don't seem to care about. Are local authorities the ones to complain to and take action as this seems an ever increasing problem?

I just moved into a new house and we have a walking mail person. I put some things in my mail box, but she never takes it. I have no experience with this whatsoever, I have always had a mailbox with a flag. Is there something specific I have to do? I put my mail in there for 3 days straight and she never took it.

This morning, I opened my shower curtain to find a nasty visitor... a cockroach! Yuk. It was right near the drain.

I suspect it was in the process of dying, because I was able to scoop it right up with toilet paper and dispose of it. It really made little/no effort to get away like roaches usually do.

When I moved in about 6 weeks ago, I found a few dead roaches under my kitchen sink, so I put down some roach bait, and haven't seen any sign or evidence of roaches since... until today.

I suspect the one today came in through the bathtub drain, because I don't see how else it would have been able to climb up the porcelain tub, and I've seen no evidence of them elsewhere.

Advice please! I am kind of torn between laying out bait traps in the bathroom vs simply plugging up the drain when the shower is not in use.

Limescale remover for the toilet has instructions which tell you not to use on stainless steel, but I did. Unfortunately, the sink is not mine! Please help if you can. Thanks.

My kitchen counter-top canisters are empty. What is good idea for things to store in them. I use plastic, tight fitting containers for the typical flour, sugar, etc. (Years ago I cashed my payroll check and put the money in a counter top canister, until I could get to the bank to deposit it. I started getting over-draft notices from the bank and couldn't figure out why. Well, I had totally forgotten to take the cash out and deposit it in bank.)

The patio door led out to dirt so I bought some concrete pavers and laid them down in a boxed frame at the foot of the patio. What is that called? Doorstep didnt really describe what I made.

I just want to know why sliding doors were used and what was the material that they used on it? Was it tissue paper or thin fabric? What was the significance?

Been having a slight mouse problem and am getting a bit fed up removing tiny little carcasses from the traps.

Keep seeing these electronic things that you plug in (they supposedly disourage the little blighters from coming into your house.

But do they actually work? And are they worth the 30-odd quid?

Our neighbour has attacked a hedge which we believe is in our land.Her nephew states that the boundary is hers - our land registry docs clearly show that the disputed area is in our boundary, and I am being asked to fork out up to £1k to have a surveyor draw up a survey plan. Land registry boundaries have a tolerance of +/- 1m apparently, and her plot is not registered. What do I need to do to convince him that what is mine, IS MINE? (Apart from shaking him gently by the throat!)
Any advice is welcome please.
