Home & Garden - 25 September 2006

I have 2 'Minuet' weigelas, I put them in this spring and a few shoots have taken off and appear to be out growing the rest of the plant. Should I prune these or let them go. And if I do prune, when? What other care is needed? I live in MN (zone 4a)

and it is just so overwhelming that i can't clean it. like i try, but i just get so discouraged, and stressed that i just quit. and it gets messier.

help?
problem is, it is sorta small, and i have 3 huge pet cages in there. they have to stay in my room (they can't go in any other rooms) and so there is all this STUFF in a small space. everytime i go to get in my bed it's like i have to take a deep breath, dive in, and swim through crap to get there. it's horrible lol. things are piled up like 1-2 feet off the floor. my poor dog, lol. he's a chihuahua and whenever he wants to climb into bed with me, i see him very cautiously walking on things, testing the stability with his paw first, and one second i see him, and then the next, he is getting swallowed and i have to go rescue him lol.
it's funny, but sad lol
so please help
:-)

We went from using 8000 gallons for 2 months to using 18,000. Could a running toilet cause that?

I feed my pets in a certain room, and the ants always get to the food. I have too many pets to buy all individual ant dishes, so I was wondering how could I stop them coming in at all? Can I put something across the places they enter? Thank you

I have plenty of fleece sweaters that have been washed too many times, and they are no longer soft. I was wondering if this was a result of pilling, and therefore could be reversed with one of those fabric shavers I read about in another question, or if the softness of my fleece is forever lost?

Any special mirror stickies I have to buy...? I dont think I can use nails to pound on the colleges' walls. The tall mirror doesnt have anything in the back of it such as a hook to hang, it's just bare.

I recently moved to a new home. The post in front states
original Plat from the 1816s. How do I go about finding
info on my new home. The neighbors don't have a clue,
just a house to them. What they call my crawl space,
is made with river stone, mud. You can stand up in it.
and it is very cold. Even when it was 95 out side.

it is stranded copperwire. the insulation jacket says that it can take 600v so I would assume that is a high quality wire. it is currently suppling power directly from my car battery to an ac-to-dc inverter. it spans about 10 feet, and it is a 350 watt inverter so it will be drawing about 30 amps at 12vdc. I currently have a 35 amp fuse built in with the wiring as well as a switch, the inverter has two 20 amp fuses built in. so I am wondering if I can simply add another fuse harness parralell to the current harness to meet the wires amperage limit. I am currious as to weather I can connect a bigger inverter such as 700 watts (about 60 amps) I imagine that that may be a bit much but it would be nice if you could tell me what AWG I would need

I bought an older home and beside the tub it is molding up through the carpet. It is usually kept dry and the flooring from the tub forward has all been replaced. So I am assuming it is coming from underneath the tub. What can I do of tearing up the tub is not a good option?

This is an old house and both wires in the ceiling box were black with some white paint added to them and the same colored wire nuts. So there was no telling which one was the neutral and which was the live wire.

After I installed it, it worked at first, but the next day it no longer works. My electric tester shows that electricity is still flowing to the lights. Other items on that circuit are fine. The lightbulbs are fine. But it doesn't light up.

Did I probably just connect the wrong wires, or could there be some other cause? Could I have harmed the light fixture by connecting the wires incorrectly?

Any good tips on ways to get rid of a lot of chipmunks so they go away and stay gone? Ours have already dug holes all over our yard and now under our garage.
