Obviously, I don't powerwash very often, and my wrists and hands were not accustomed to the vibration. Are there special gloves that I should wear, or some type of wrist protectors. I was not using an industrial powerwasher, but the pressure could be sufficient to seriously "cut into" the wood if I was not careful. I need to powerwash again, so any help would be appreciated!

I want to plant a bunch of trees in my back yard (I have a big back yard). And the shape of the tree is important. I'm going for a Bonsai tree look, but obviously want something larger. Preferably, I want an evergreen tree that will get no larger than about 8 feet tall, with an 8 feet spread, and that has a "flattened" horizontal shape. Any ideas?

Thanks.

We want to put parking under the quad-plex and have the area filled with walking paths and flower gardens. We also plan to have Olympic size pool, restaurant/meeting center that will hold 150 guests and have an electronic gate with brick walls all the way around. The community is for persons over 55 and will be centered between 2 communities with 20,000 populations.

Anyone interested? Anyone have any ideas regarding size plans etc?

I used a Flood Semi-Transparent 3 years ago and now it is pealing off. Should have been done last year.

And I say that as someone who works from home and rarely visits the 100 degree outside my house. Why shouldn't I use smell and appearances to judge whether my shorts are clean or not? I should mention that I bathe daily and wear underwear and undershirts that I change daily. I just don't see why I need to change my overclothes too, if they smell and look clean.

I'm not a slob, so why do I need to change my clothes like one? I'd much rather save money on clothes and laundry. Is that so wrong?

We're about to put a red metal roof on our house. The red is nearer to a rust color than a true red. The house is a cottage style, half grey stone and half white siding. The door is a medium pink right now, so I'm not afraid of color.

I don't know if they're just annoying the plants or what because I haven't seen any damage as of yet. They are shaped like a housefly, but about a half to a third the size and they are a beautiful green color. How do I get rid of them? *Should* I get rid of them? And they only seem to hang certain plants. They *love* my new little Catalpa tree - it's about a foot high. And they're hanging around the Clethra (Summersweet).

There are 231 cubic inches in a gallon and there are 1,728 cubic inches in a cubic foot of water.
Gallons, Deep End:
(2,218.666 x 1,728) / 231 = 16,597 gallons
Gallons, Shallow End:
(597.333 x 1,728) / 231 = 4,468 gallons
Total Gallons of Pool:
16,597 + 4,468 = 21,065 gallons

I seem to remember there was a solution to this but can no longer remember what it is. Perhaps fabric softener sheets?
