If i had 5 different kinds of bushes i was using, would you recommend using a pattern or groups of bushes? Just to clarify this is going around the permiter of a picnic area. Also, would you plant each bush the same length apart, or measure so that when they're fully grown there will be equal space between them? (they grow to various sizes)

I recently had a bat fly into my dryer vent, get stuck, and die. Removing the bat carcass largely eliminated the odor from my apartment, but the inside of my dryer still smells faintly of dead animal. I've tried running the dryer for several cycles with lots of dryer sheets, but the smell still lingers. Any suggestions for getting rid of the smell?

(A question my dad wants answered)

When I first got the lawn mower, it did great. Then I had to pull on the "cable" and then pull the coil string to get it to start. That worked for a while; then one day the mower shut off on me. I could not get it to start. My neighor put a new coil on it. It still wouldn't start. He brought the mower back while it was running but it wouldn't shut off when you let go of the kill-switch handle.

My question is: What's wrong and how do I fix it?

I have a 22" Toro Self-propelled Lawn mower and whenever I just normally push the lawnmower before I start it, the front wheels are locking up and I have to pull the drive cable back toward me to dis-engage the clutch it seems. It's really wierd. The self-propelled works perfect when I'm running the mower and all. I just can't determine why it's trying to engage when I'm just pushing it.

I lost a speciality drill bit that I used for drilling holes in plastic. It's old and I forgot where I bought it. It is approx. 5-6" long, has 2-3 spiral flutes which are sharp at one end and taper up to approx. 1/2 inch. I can't find one and I don't even know what it is called.

My Mother usually used Cheer, HOWEVER, we were very poor, so sometimes she bought Duz, because they gave you premiums in the box. If we needed a dish cloth or dish towel, she'd buy the small box. For a face towel she'd buy the medium. For a bathtowel, she'd buy the large. They were nice towels, too, although kinda thin. So what did YOUR Mommy use to get your clothes smelling clean and fresh?

In this case, it would be one stove/oven unit (I'm looking at Viking or Thermador). The alternative would be to have the oven mounted higher, and separate. Many thanks.

I am forced to pay $300 per year to trim it back to the property line (she won't allow any more than that), and within a few weeks, it hangs over again, dropping berries all over my backyard.

These spots appear to be similar to those you see on white clothing that have not been worn for some time. They were not caused by anything being splashed on the doors, etc. Simple wiping does not remove them. Any ideas?

My parents are in their late 80's they just had a new unit put in their mobile home. They were told NOT to use the unit when it rains. It is very technical and they don't understand why. But it is 90 degrees in Sebring FL and it is raining and they said they can't take the heat. I don't know the company that put it in or the name of their unit. I just know my father told me the men told him NEVER to use his central air conditioning when it rains. I really need your help on this.
