Can a raised entry foyer be lowered? Just purchased a home, the front door entrance foyer is raised approx between 2"-3" and is about 9 1/2' in length, it is a tile covered concrete slab. The 2"-3" is a step down into the living room, the den and the hallway to the bedrooms. We are sure to fall or break a toe on the darn thing...missing the step up. Any suggestions?

What are the best energy efficient blinds or window treatments for very large windows? I have a very large window and need a large blind or some type of window treatment. I'd like some privacy, but would like the option of being able to change it (i.e. I don't want to just cover it up). I've attached a photo of the window.

Standard electrical work or sub standard? I had a contractor update about 85 to 90 percent of the electrical in my house. Since, I found out that there are 20 fixtures on one breaker. Included on this one breaker is the gas tankless water heater and the inside unit for central air. I understand it's about amps, but this doesn't sound right at all. These fixtures are spread out randomly between 8 areas. It seems like it was done out of convenience. I first started noticing this problem when my wife started tripping the breaker any time she used her hair dryer. All this seems wrong in so many ways but I'm not the expert. Does anyone have comments suggestions? I should also let you know I have let them know. The electrician came out and seemed more bothered with my complaint then anything. He said the arc breakers I have are very sensitive and that's probably why. He said he could come back later and wire the intake for ac to another breaker if that's what I wanted. He hasn't been back or contacted me. Now that breaker won't even stay on. I need to know if I should be getting someone more competent to deal with this as well.
