I have two , one is doing fabulous, growing blooming etc. The other one some leaves are turning yellow and getting black spots, and the tips of the vines are shrivelling, and the blooms are not developing just dropping off.
They are both in the same area and are treated equally .
What should I do.?

Some reports say duct cleaning doesn't provide cleaner air. Is it a waste of money?

I moved into a brand new single story ranch w/ basement last November, and in one bedroom the floor makes this annoying popping noise when you step in certain spots, and you can feel something as it pops. The floor is fully supported (I know this b/c I built it) with "Silent Floor" I-beam joists, but the sound seems to come from the subfloor itself and from where the floor meets two of the interior walls. There is a supporing wall almost directly underneath the wall where the noise is the greatest, so I can't understand what could be moving to make this noise. Any comments from experience would be great!

Sorry, not very technical - the "thingy" is located next to the faucet and has a white flexible pipe that runs from the dishwasher to this.

We are in the process of buying a forclosure ( as is, no sellers disclosure and no repairs) Its an affordable newer home (5 yrs old) and it looked to only have cosmetic problems.But this is what the inpection tunred up...
1. We thought it was hardie board but it turned ut to be a composite wood siding which is a big minus! There is HUGE ant infestation problem up and down the whole house inside the siding so who knows what they have done to the siding.
2. The foundation has many cracks and appears to have been filled in some spots with apoxy in some spots. There are big spaces from the ground to the foundation where the dirt is totally gone. There is a small slope that maybe due to foundation in the kitchen but its so slight theres no way fo knowing.
3. There is a crack along a outside joint from ground up to the roof where the siding is pulling away from the house.
4. Many other issues like no drainage for the hot water heater and ac, garbage disposal is not working...etc.

Thanks for the 1rst answer regarding central air. We have approximately 630 square feet of living space on each of 3 floors. the central unit is a Heil, 2.5 ton. there are 5 vents on 2nd floor (2 bedrooms and bath), as well as a return and thermstat (next to return). There are 4 vents in 2 large rooms on 1rst floor. Also 2 vents in basement. I was was told by another that we shouldnt try to cool basement so I just closed them.

After tracking the temp. 4 past 3 days we found that , if the thermstat. is set for 67, the 1rst floor temp goes up to 75-76. If thermstat. set for 70, 1rst floor goes 76-78 degrees. On the heatwave days the 1rst floor temp. reached 85 degrees.

The contractor said he will replace 2.5.unit with a 3 ton, but I'm worried that we will have same problem, and there is no room for more vents. Would putting in a Mitsubishi unit for the 1rst floor be better? Some one mentioned a damper; what is that exactly? Any recomendations? Thanks much.

The only silverware I have is silver. It is a really nice set, but I use it for everything. It is a set from the 1920's/30's. Should I be using something else for everyday, or is pretty durable and ok to use?

We're trying to build a cedar closet and we need to cut the cedar. Unfortunately, we don't have a circular saw. We do have a jigsaw. Will the jigsaw be too rough for the cedar (and thus break the wood) or will it work to make our dimensional cuts?

Thanks!

What are some ways to help prevent my clothes from shrinking when I wash them at home? I have trouble getting pants to not shrink, even when I buy the no-shrink pants. Does cold water help to prevent shrinkage of any clothes item? Hot water? Is there a certain length of time that I should leave things in the dryer? Should I hang things outside to dry? Should I wash everything by hand? Tell me everything you know.
