How do you hang a poster on the wall? I don't want to frame it and I'm not worried about damage to the poster itself (more worried about damage to the wall). I'm mostly interested in glue/tack solutions but every time I've used sticky tack / blue tack it's ended up not sticking terribly well and when it does work ends up looking a bit lumpy. So, is there some kind of glue solution that will put the poster flush with the wall, and still be safe/easy to remove?

Is it safe to turn off the gas to a wall heater? Hi, I have one of those ubiquitous southern California tall gas heaters built into the wall of the living room, and I will never use it. So I figure it's just wasting gas, and besides that it generates a small amount of heat, and I sure don't need anything making this place hotter when summer rolls around. So just to make absolutely sure, there's nothing unsafe about turning off the pilot and the gas inside the heater and just leaving it that way indefinitely, is there? Thanks!

Is there a safe way to run an electrical cord from a wall socket to a lamp in the middle of the room? We are having new carpet installed in our family room next week. Is it possible to somehow run an electrical cord under the carpet to a reading lamp that is near the center of the room (about 5' from the nearest wall socket)? Presently, the lamp cord is partially tucked under an area rug that sits on top of the carpet. But we plan to get rid of this area rug once the new carpet is laid. We don't want someone to accidentally trip over the cord. I won't give any "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" since I appreciate all answers--usually. :)

Is it safe to run too many electrical appliances from one wall socket? At the moment I have about four appliances (some high drain) running from each of the four wall sockets in my rented flat. I'm worried that it may start a fire, damage my equipment, cause an electric shock or something else similarly undesirable. Or perhaps less seriously it may mean that the appliances are not getting enough power and are therefore running at a lower capacity? What can I do/buy?
