This blade will be for research. Any, all or part from mounting to include blade assembly, hydrolic rams not needed. Ditch witch preferably, Vermeer will suffice. 4 way,6 way either one. Relatvely cheap, almost any condition. Please contact me even if you think you may know where I can find one. Thank you, Shawn

Hi All,

I ask a similar question before, but now I need more detail.

I need to send out some small souvenir in a small container (40mm diameter) with seed inside. The idea is to send this out so the seed will actually grow eventually.

Here the tricky part, what kinda of seeds grow well in such condition?

Environment:
- 40mm diameter test tube
- Limited or no sunlight
- Indoor aircon environment


I was told Marigold. Will do the job, what u guys think? Any specific soil to recommand also?

I live in NE.PA. When is the best time to put down winterizer fertilizer with weed control? I used Scotts plus 2 during the summer and had poor results as far as weed control is concerned. Thanks

I am replacing my central heating radiator valves. The valves are completely broken and have a pin fitting to turn them on and off so I cannot just turn them off but will actually need to cut them off and start again. I need to know what I will need to do and what materials I'll need to complete the job.

My daughter has managed to get hold of a permanent marker, in black. She has done me a lovely picture on my cream kitchen unit.
I have tried a few things, but it's not worked.

Tonight I ripped up all the stinky tile, or at least all that came up easily, but under it was VERY rotten wood. Is there a way to save this floor?

The plug had three prongs, the "protecting" prong unatached itself somehow and is now living in the electric outlet which I accidently touched in the dark and shocked myself with. Currently, I do not know how to shut off the flow of electricity to this outlet, but I would like to remove this open prong of doom if possible without another shock.

I recently tried to install new silent light switches and an GFCI outlet in my bathroom. The switches are in one box and the outlet in another box next to that one. I turned off the power and installed everything. The light switches work but the outlet doesn't. I tried switching the wires and even re-installing the old one but it didn't work either.

Any ideas on what I did wrong? A friend mentioned that the two boxes might share a common wire that could be causing the outlet to not work. Any help would be great!
