Non-standard switchplate configuration

Perhaps someone markets a modular switchplate solution for non-standard configurations such as this? I suppose I could replace the toggle with another rocker, but that's like buying new tires because your old hubcaps don't fit.

AAA non-rechargeable batteries?

Right we seem to have had plenty of useful sources posted for AA batteries but I'm after a box of AAs to put away for emergencies. I want alkaline as a backup to the Nimhs I usually use - like for if the power goes off for a week or more. Suggestions? Sam

The house had a non vented hot water system so lots of water. The shower was an above the bath job it worked from a diverter valve on the bath taps and there was no thermostatic control. You just had to adjust the bath taps re water temperature.

Shower non-return valves

The next idea was the non-return valves on the inlet. He used something like a big Dremel to cut away the tiles a little, leaving a hole just big enough for access, but small enough so the decor plate covers it. He told me it doesn't need the valves, and broke them out.

Non-round flower pots???

We have MANY plants in our home. The biggest issue that we have is finding pots that will fit on a windowsill. Round pots really limit the size that you can put up.

non-fertilizing pre-emergent

I've got a growing infestation of annual bluegrass and bermuda grass. I believe the time to apply a pre-emergent is soon here in SE PA. Or am I wrong? Is there a pre-emergent available without the fertilizer? I don't want to put fert on the lawn at this time of the year. TIA Chas Hurst
