I have two lilac bushes that I just planted this last spring. They are on different sides of my yard but are both having the same problem. The leaves have brown spots on them and the edges are all dry and dead looking. They also have lots of torn looking spots like something has been eating them. I looked for bugs under the leaves and didn't really see anything. I'm not sure why this is happening so I'd appreciate any ideas anyone might have on what this could be and how to stop it. I live in WI.

Fungus is like a sandy colored cauliflower consistency and it stretches about 2 feet. In the spring it drops off and comes back in the fall. Lanscaper said it means the tree is dying.

I've collected a lot of oak tree acorns and planted them expecting to have seedlings. So far, I've not had any of them sprout. (various times during the year). I've used both garden potting soils and yard dirt as the planting mediums. I've planted them deep and shallow, tops and bottoms down, and sideways but nothing sprouts. Should I freeze the acorns first to simulate winter? Thanks for any suggestions.

I need to know how to repair a leaky shower. I have a single handle shower and have recently had it replaced and now the shower leaks worse than ever. My plumber said he needed to tear out the wall and replace something behind the wall. Of course, big bucks. I fear that he looked at me and thought- stupid woman, nice house- big bucks.... help!

These are old aluminum windows with single pane glass held in and "caulked" using a gray colored vinyl/rubber type strip of material which is triangular shaped but has indented crevices so that the material snaps into place sealing the window pane. It is used instead of caulking. I don't know if it is a glazing strips. It is 5/16" by 3/8" by 1/2" and apparently could be cut into any length strips that you need. I have been unable to find it anywhere.

Tried putting amonia in balloons. inflating them and coating them with sardines. It gives them a start but does not discourage them from coming back, to continue breaking branches and making a mess. Not to mention eating the nuts that I so carefully nurtured over the years for myself friends and family.
Hope someone out there has a solution
Thanks

We are trying to remodel our guest bathroom and took out the tile from our shower. Now we were told it needs to be hot mopped. Is this something we can do ourselves? If not, what should I expect to pay to have this done?

I was out in the yard weeding and noticed that this large, purplish shrub next to the house was looking a little overgrown. I'll try to describe it so hopefully somebody can identify it:

It's about 7-8 feet tall, with branches containing clusters of dark, small oval leaves which are about half an inch to an inch long. Much of the bush is just a dark, greenish color, but toward the top and outside branches it's a sort of pretty muted wine-purple. I thought it was a pretty shrub, but when I went to trim it, OUCH! It has pricklies all up and down the branches. I live in Michigan, so it's something that would grow there, if that helps.

Anybody know what this is? And should I consider getting rid of it; is this an undesirable-type plant? It seems a ***** to deal with and after trying to trim it I'm not sure I like it that much...
