In your experience, what has it cost you? Extra points if you live in the DFW area and can recommend someone! I knocked down the hive but they remain in a location that is hard to get to w/o getting stung, so please don't tell me to do it myself by knocking them down- Thanks.

My decking has been down for two years now but looking sad with the ravages of the weather. I am going to treat it before the bad weather sets in but can anyone tell me the best, and cheapest, way to clean off the slippery green mould/algae that seems to have taken hold. I do have a pressure washer to use but people tell me that rasies the grain on the wood and anyway we're on a hosepipe ban!

It also worsens the ongoing termite problem. We have plenty of ventilation but when it rains it pools there and we have mold on the windows and nothing seems to dry.

I'm renting an apartment that has low quality white flooring in the kitchen. It very easily gets dirty and shows every speck. Regular floor cleaners don't make much impact, but comet works well. However if I used comet, no matter how many times I rinse it afterwards the floor still feels gritty. Any suggestions?

I have an older grill that has been wonderful and now needs a new burner to keep me happy. While looking at all of the options that are priced around $25, I noticed that there is a cast iron burner that is $55 that fits my grill. Has anyone ever bought one and is it worth the extra expense? What is the difference? What advantages or disadvantages are there?

I really need to get our carpets cleaned and have found a lot of coupons for different companies. The prices look like they vary a lot for the same services. Is there any difference or does everyone have the same tools and will do the same job? Anybody have experience or advice to share on this? Any good companies in Austin, TX?

If a qualified electrician came to your home to do a general check and testing of your electrical circuits in your fuse box what tests would be done and what would he/she look for?

How would the tests be done and what type of results would be gained to say the ciruits were ok?

If a ciruit was found to be faulty what action would be taken?

If I understand correctly, they are not perennial. I used to work at a restaurant, and the boss (owner) had an herb garden at home from which she brought fresh herbs for soups and casseroles and such. Sometime in the fall, she would bring the entire basil plants to the restaurant and we (the underling cooks) would strip the leaves off the plants for making large quantities of pesto.
So, I've been prunig it periodically, all summer long. I enjoy the fragrance of the plant and feed the prunings to the rabbit (who LOVES it). But, I'd like to make pesto with the leaves as a grand finale...
I live in south Texas (San Antonio). And it's still pretty warm outside.
So, anybody know when (if) I should pull up my sweet basil to chop up the leaves for pesto?
