Home & Garden - 6 September 2006

I have been to visit Bathstore and found the sales people really good. Just wondering, before I go ahead and order my new bathroom, if anyone has used them before for materials and installation (not just for buying the odd bathroom item). Are they reliable? Expensive or reasonably priced, fast etc - any nightmare stories?

I read loads of terrible reviews about Dolphin and as a result have crossed them off my list - can't find any user reviews for Bathstore, so would love some input.

Thank you!

We have all sorts of snakes on the property what with a woods behind us & lots of lakes nearby. I also invited all of the neighbors to bring their snakes to my fenceline a few years ago to discourage the rich neighborhood kids from hopping my fence to get to the local Wal-Mart's on foot. Now I have snake holes everywhere & there is a particularly scary little fellow by the A/C unit that we are wondering if he's poisonous. A coral snake has red, yellow, black & white striping in a certain order & the non poisonous one has the same but in a different color order & we're trying to figure out which one he is. Someone let their reticulated python go around here & we also have python babies trying to eat the squirvels, owls trying to eat the snakes, falcons trying to eat the small birds that we feed at the feeder & lots of things like different snakes trying to eat the rats from the woods that try to eat the bird food! We just want to know about the coral snakes now.

What promotes flowering? They're in a large pot, not in the ground. Can I bring them inside in winter --- will they continue to grow, or die back?

the property behind me is vacant, and i cannot get ahold of the real owners of the property, this tree is killing my grass and my wooden deck, I can't chop it down, so how do it kill it without chopping or girding it. Serious answers only, it not a crime to kill a messy non native to my area tree.

I bought a German dining set that looks just like a basic breakfast nook. It has an "L" shaped bench and three dining chairs. The pads on the bench and chairs is a grotesque tan/brown 1970's pattern, which wouldn't be so bad, but some of them are discolored. I would like to find replacement pads, but my internet searches have turned up nothing. I need pads for the seats (to fit the benches and chairs) and for the backs. I am planning to make my own but not until I get home where I have more of a fabric selection. Does anyone know of any stores that do indoor, dining set bench pads (not piano bench pads) or people who do custom sewing jobs? Thanks a lot!

My ground is fairly flat in this area so I would have to divert it 50 feet which means dealing with a garden hose every time I mow. I'm thinking maybe making a water garden or something. I planted a River Birch but it's not drinking up all the water.

Bought a 1 year old house and a within one week found our largest garage door is having trouble. We push the button and it won't go all the way up. Some times just up inches other times up 3 feet. It started occasionally now it won't finish opening up at all. We have checked the saftey beam, nothing in the way. We have tried to adjust the limit controls on the left side panels with out luck. It is a AccessMaster Security+ garage door opener. Web site not helpful. Owners manual not either for this problem.
