It has to be hand watered, do I water it everyday, in the morning or evening? It doesn't get constant full sun, but is in the sun until late afternoon. What can I do to perk it back up?

I need more electrical plugs. I can't tear up the walls because I rent. I've always rented and I'm not particularly handy.

There is an overhead light but no plug in my "closet room" (a small room with a built-in dresser and two closets), where I would like to iron and/or vacuum, and I only have one plug in the bathroom next to the closet, and it is part of the light fixture over the mirror. That is only one plug between two rooms! Very inconvenient.

Can I convert the light switches to a combination of switch and outlet, somehow? BTW, the fuse box is in the closet room, in the back of a closet.

I would love to have some good quality seeds, but it just sounds like a really bad idea to order something like that over the internet.

Street's aren't poured concrete or anything, but why are they so much nicer and more solid than asphalt driveways?

I have an inground pool. I turned my pump off, and now when I turn it back on it just hums, it does not pump. Is it froze up? Do I need to replace it? I have a 1.5 hp pump.

We just removed some overgrown bushes from the front of our house. We now have this 18'x7' area that is between our front walk and our house. What can we do there, in terms of landscaping? We have mulch in many areas around the house so I was hoping for something different...I suggested a small pond, but my husband would rather put one in the back yard. Suggestions???

I have to paint a room in a hurry and was wondering if it matters if I wash the walls before I paint or not.

There is a leak under the bathroom sink, but I can't find where the water is coming from. It has soaked the carpet in front of the sink, and when I open the cabinet under the sink, I can see water dripping from floor of cabinet. I placed a small plastic trashcan under the pipe to catch drips, but the trashcan stayed dry after several hours. I can't figure out where the water is coming from. I plan to call a plumber tomorrow, but I'd welcome any help this evening, since the towels are still soaking up water. I just don't know what to do to stop the flow of water.

I have a lot and am going to have a house built on it. Before it built I would like to draw the lot, and draw the house on the lot to figure out the best place to put it.

my dad was trying to paint our ceiling and it had not been painting since 89-90 and it peels off a little bit and sometimes takes the paint in and you have to repaint it a lot.

thanks.

Regular lightbulbs don't work well during the daytime as there's a little bit of natural light coming in, so the effectiveness of a lightbulb is diluted in the daytime. Is there any kind of special light you can get so even when it's daytime the bulb/lighting is still bright enough to make an impact even with the natural light (currently the apt is very dark and even with the lightbulb on its not bright, only at night when theres no natural light is the lightbulb effective)

These black little bugs look like small finely ground pepper. We have sprayed, but they still come back. What are they and where do they come from and how do we get rid of them. they seem to be all over the bath rooms sills and in the sinks & tubs. Only in both bath rooms and in the master bedroom. They are also on the master bedroom window sill. They aren't in any other part of the house.
