I asked this question a couple of days ago, but I am not 100% satisfied with the answers I received. I'm not sure if everyone understood the question. So here it goes again. Thanks in advance for answering.

What is the BEST method for saving gas on your utility bill...a) setting the thermostat at a CONSTANT temperature (doesn't matter the degrees) ALL DAY...or...b) using the SETBACK method and have the thermostat AUTOMATICALLY drop the temperature 6-8 degrees when I'm at work/sleeping/etc and then RAISE it back when I am awake or come home?

The setback method happens automatically, everyday. I don't touch the thermostat. It's programmed and left alone.

In the SUMMER, experts and research says it's cheaper to set the temperature at ONE SETTING and LEAVE IT ALONE, no matter if you're at work or sleeping. So why is it different for the winter, with the invention of the newer, programmable thermostats?

I hope to get some real good answers, and maybe some proof. Thanks.

We like to spend time in the front garden but nothing seems to do well apart from a shade loving rockery plant that while nice to look at for a month or so is not what you would chose to have all over your garden. Does anyone have any suggestions for shade loving plants that are easy to maintain and will provide a bit of colour over the summer months through autumn.

Thanks for looking

I have a nagging cockroach problem in my house. The guys are everywhere, and I'm trying to get rid of them. Roach sprays don't really help much, plus they have this nauseating, toxic smell. Do you know of any home remedies (non-toxic) that can control or eliminate cockroach infestation?

It is a bush and was seen in flower in a Devon (UK) garden in August. I believe that it may be one of the pea family but its unusual upturned brush of stamens is striking.

My sister and I live in my grandparents house. It's getting cold outside so we thought we'd check to see if the furnace would work. I switched it over to heat nothing happened. I checked the breaker box and everything is fine. Then we realized that the pilot had been turned off. We need help with lighting it. We don't know how to go about it b/c it's 25 years old and I have no idea if there's an igniter button or we have to actually light it with a match. If we do where do where do we light it at, what does the pilot light look like? There is a silver Honeywell box and it says "push man and pull auto". Does that have anything to do with it? The heater is a Rheem model # RGAA - 150C.

I am ready to branch out offering decorating and shopping advice to clients from wanting one day makeovers to just someone to accompany them on shopping trips to redecorate their homes or offices to those clients who want nothing to do with the decor so they leave and come home to a whole new look. Thanks for your ideas !
