    Is it possible to merge stones?

    Hi there, I have a slightly odd request. Could I hire a stoneworker to have two stones melted and merged into one? One is owned by myself and the other by my husband and we would like to merge them ahead of our wedding and then keep it on the mantelpiece. Thank you very much.

    Hob tripping circuit breaker

    My circuit breaker has tripped a couple of times when I've used my electric hob. Does this mean my hob is faulty or could there be another problem? The hob is newly fitted, so it shouldn't be broken.

    UPVC stiff/sticking key

    Recently the lock on my UPVC front door has started playing up. Turning the key on the outside is hard as it is very stiff, but inside it is normally easy. However a couple of times the door has been impossible to unlock from the inside. Rather than being stiff, they key just won't turn at all, like you would get if it was the wrong one. However I was able to unlock it from outside, albeit still very stiff, and it then works fine from the inside. The handle seems to work OK. Is this just a lock barrel or could it be something else?
