Home & Garden - 20 June 2006

I have just one HUGE annoying fly in my PC room. I have tried to get it with a swatter but for some reason the little bugger is to darn fast. It's about to drive me crazy. Any ideas on how to get rid of it? Besides a shotgun LOL.

My hubby likes it to be cold in the house at night so he can sleep better. I like to have the windows open all the time but offered to shut them at night and turn the air conditioning on.

He says it takes more energy to shut the A/C off during the day and turn it on at night because the A/C has to work harder to catch up.

I say it would be better to open the windows during the day (like I like) and turn the A/C on at night only on nights that are really hot.

Not only do I want to get fresh air during the day but I think my way saves money on cooling costs.

Which way is better, energy-wise?

I want to dig a hole to put up umbrella clothesline pole and was wondering if I should use cement around the pole in the ground itself.

The plants themselves are big, green and healthy looking, but the zuccini is turning yellow, and NO they are NOT the yellow variety. They are supposed to be dark green.

Is it too much water? Not enough water? Soil deficiency?

Same question, different category thingy:

My room is freaking tiny and I'm trying to re-do it. I just want more space in my room and so I was looking at futons/ sofa beds first, but then I thought, hey why not a hammock!? People are saying it will hurt my back--but they've been as comfortable as ever since I can remember... Does anyone have any solid information on this?

Thanks for your responses, I appreciate it.

My air conditioner is off all day while I'm at work, and only on 78 degrees when I'm home. We do not have natural gas, just electricity. We only wash/dry a couple loads of clothes and do one load of dishes each week. Our nieghbors, in the same building, pay no more than $90 per month (we average $140-$150), and run thier air conditioning all day. WHAT IS CAUSING THIS?

My apartment complex sent a matianace person who said nothing was wrong and that we were just complaining. We had the air conditioning checked out, it was fine. Someone told us that it could be a leak in the hot water heater under the foundation. I'm in North Florida and live in the first florr of a 3 story, shaded unit, if it helps.
