I have a plastic line now and want to know if it's worth the trouble and expense of swapping it for a copper line.

Mountain Home 7,000 ft elevation. High sun exposure. Hugh temperature extremes, -20F to 100F. Currently Cedar Siding. Height of home varies from 20 ft to 30 ft.

Question # 1. Is Vinyl Siding susceptable to underlying problems like mold, wood rot ...etc?

Question # 2. Does the new vinyl siding that has a wood shake look (approximately 3 fot wide sheets) really do away with the seam/overlap look?

Please state the basis of your answer: i.e. trade person, homeowner with Vinyl Siding, etc.

Thank You

We have had mice in the past, usually during the winter months. We are always able to get them with bait or traps, but in 8 years I still have not been able to figure out how or where they are getting in. The worst was a few years ago, they were somehow getting into the oven. Yes it was gross, and No, I didn't use the oven for a long time. I have heard that they can't chew through steel wool, but when I have tried that, it doesn't stay in place very well. I would really appreciate any tips, but please keep in mind that I have small children so it can't be anything they can easily get into. I have used an exterminator service before, and all they did was hide packets of bait behind things, and charge me a huge fee for what I can do myself. Last night I saw one scurry across the kitchen , then into the study/office where there is a bunch of stuff around so I don't know where he went. He is probably still in here with me, peeing all over the carpet. Please send any ideas that you have

I'd like to make a pot hanger out of strings and hang it in my window with some plants in it next winter. Any idea where I can get instructions how to create one? It has to be a hanging one because I haven't got enough room on the window sill. I think there are sites with pictures and instruction. Any suggestion?

It is about 4 or 5 cms long and was found on a weed among the foxgloves. It is black and about 1cm in diameter. On it's "head" it has two markings which look like big eyes and under that it has a marking that looks like a big smily mouth! It looks kind of like a cartoon!! It has no horns or stripes.
Can anyone identify it for me please? I have checked in my nature books but it doesn't seem to be there.
I found it in my garden in the south of England.

Seriously thinking of replacing asphalt shingle roof with a new metal residential roof. I live in a northern climate zone would like some advice from metal roof owners especially ones who replaced an asphalt roof. Looking at advanages, disadvantages and cost difference - Is it Worth It?
