The problem is my window is longer than an average rod size. I want to be able to use only one not two seperate rods. My other question would be what hardware to use if I didn't buy anything conventional that would include the hardware needed.

I have a 25lb bag of grout, but I don't need to use the whole bag for my project. (2 quarts of water to the whole bag).
What grout/water ratio should I use for a smaller amount?

Is there an alternative to cutting the root (which would almost certainly kill the tree)? Can I cover up the root with gravel and/or blacktop or will that also kill the tree? Also, what are my legal rights and liabilities? (The tree is on my neighbor's property.)

My black hollyhocks (3 year old) were over 7 feet tall and beautiful. They are kinda spent right now, had to stake them up and it's time to just cut them. I noticed a dozen new, small leaves at the base of the plant, just like this spring.
I live in NH and it should be warm here until sept. Does anyone know if they will give me a second bloom?

I have 9 stalks of lucky bamboo potted in its original ceramic container about the size of a large coffee cup. On the picture it came with it shows bamboo that is curled. I was wondering if mine would curl and if it does is there anything I need to do to help it along?

We have a pool and the concrete near the sliding glass door has become very slick, probably from wear. Is there anything I can use short of replacing that GIANT slab to roughen it up?

My husband and I plan on refinishing the hardwood floors in our living and diningrooms and entrance hallway this weekend. We are renting a sander and already own a hand sander. We don't plan on staining the wood because we want the natural color of the wood. How long do you think it will take to do? Th efloors don't need to be sanded that much. maybe two passes. One with 60 the other with 120 grit sandpaper. We also plan on using a water based polyurethane. It dries faster and has less fumes.

This sounded strange to me but my dad argued with me about how pineapples are grown

He says that a pineapple plant doesn't grow pineapples until someone cuts an already grown pineapple in half and places it around the pineapple plant.. then it will start growing pineapples
I thought maybe that could be possible for reproducing methods of pineapples? Like.. the cut pineapple placed around the plant will release pollen or something and make the pineapple plant fertile?

But then you have to ask the question.. which came first the pineapple or the pineapple plant?

I argued with my father for an hour about this and tried to look it up but couldnt find anything about it.
It still seems absurd to me

Everytime the repair man comes to my house to fix my a/c he tells me that if I turn it below 72 Degrees that it will freeze over. Is this true? I have always had it set at 69 to 70. And it always is fine tell something goes wrong then he gives me a lecture. Is there a certain temp that I have to have it set at? I love to be cold and I cant stand to be hot. so Please help me. Thanks! Michael in Utah.
