I've seen it. He is small, about a six inch wing span. He dosn't live on the porch. He just eats bugs there and makes a big mess. I don't particulary want to harm it but I would like it to leave.

We planted Lettuce in our garden this year, not head, but leaf lettuce. Does anyone know how to tell when it is ready to be cut? Do I cut it at the stalk or just cut the leaves off? Also, after I let it rinse, should I refridgerate wet or let it dry? Serious answers only please, I need help!

I have shelves which roll in and out of the cabinets. They are supported by runners, which in turn are attached to the particle board with screws. The weight of the shelves and stuff on them, forced the shelves to collapse, bringing down the runners too, and in turn the screws. I want to re-attach the runners, but want a solution which will leave the screws tight inside, to support the shelves. i need help!

MY boyfriend is installing a sink, and he says that the exisiting drain that comes from the wall is a metal drain and he needs to attach a PVC drain to the sink itself, How can he do it?
Also, he says that the two parts are offset about an inch horizontally.
Any ideas how to make my sink work? It's been 3 weeks without a bathroom sink!

I need help in my vegetable garden. My dad swears by miracle grow sprayed on plants (using their sprayer) every two weeks. I am hesitant to spray that on my plants due to the chemicals. Anyone know anything about this?

I did use a fertilizer that gets worked into the soil but, it doesn't get down as regularly as it should. MG may be easier...

The water pressure in my bathtub faucet has been declining slowly for months, maybe even years. Now, it is at the point where it is only a trickle, for BOTH cold and hot water. I can hardly take a shower, and it takes about an hour to fill the tub at this rate. What can I do before calling a plumber and paying big bucks? The bathroom sink in the same room has excellent pressure, as does the rest of the house. I have the two-handle Hot and Cold faucet (not the single handle). Please help! I am a novice at plumbing. I've never even touched it since this is the first house I have owned. I have copper plumbing in the entire house.

How far down did you go ( I read to "prune" no further than the width of the thumb) and did you harm the tree? How long did the cutting last? It seems to me the flowers would be fragile since I have them all over my yard!

Serious answers only please. I am wanting to do my living room in green, black, and white. Maybe not so much white, but I have off-white leather furniture. My favorite color is green and I thought it would look good. PLease give me suggestions, and also maybe what color I could paint the walls to make everything tie in together. Thanks.

Pigeons had built a nest before, and I allowed them to lay eggs, hatch, and fly the coup as it was very interesting to watch. I've cleaned up the balcony (droppings and branches), but two other pigeons want to build a nest there now. How do I stop them?

Contractor simply said it won't match. Checked with Lowe's and Home Depot, they said you have to redo the entire ceiling. It seems there should be some way to make the repaired part match the rest...Any ideas?

I don't get it... everytime I turn it on, frost will form all over it within an hour... It looks like a huge ice cube then! What's actually happened with my AC? Can I still fix it?

If not, I want to buy a new Air Conditioner (AC)... how do I pick the good one according to its PK or BTU or whatever? What is the specification for Hi-Quality Air Conditioner? Since I totally don't understand about this Air Conditioner stuffs at all... help me, please?!
