Home & Garden - 8 October 2006

I recently had a rock waterfall made in my back yard during the summer, its not to very large. but i stuggled with it all summer from keeping the water from turning green, i dont have any fish in it so i tried to put pool shock in it, it seem to try to work then a few days later would be even darker green. I drained it one weekend and cleaned it. that seem to work the best but took several hours to do. several hours that i dont usually have. i just wondered if their may be so sort of better chemical other than pool chemicals to work with on the market

Ok. My neighbor has a black walnut tree in her yard and she said I am free to take and use however much I want. I dont know the first thing about harvesting walnuts. All she told me was that I need to put them on a large screen and let them sit for a while. Do I pick them off the tree or off the ground? How long do I have to let them sit? After I take off the outer peel do I need to let them sit again? And lastly, do I do anything extra after I open them from their shell or can I use them right out of the shell? I love to bake with walnuts and if this is going to save me money then I am all up for harvesting them.

Oddly enough, some of my T-shirts came out of the wash still smelling like I had yet to throw them into the machine. What must I do to remove the smell? Soak them? If so, in what?

How can a person make a hole in a glass bottle. Like if you wanted to use the bottle for a lamp base, you would have to run an electric cord through it. How can that hole be made in glass?

My parents were given a beautiful orchid plant this summer. The blooms lasted until a couple of weeks ago, then fell in pieces on the table. There is green near the base of the stem. What should they do to make sure the plant is healthy?

How do I get the mold off the rubber gaskets around refridgerator doors. I rent so I can't afford to damage the rubber with bleach. Any other ideas?

I got this cup and tea sieve/sifter set, and the sieve is badly stained as I drink a lot of tea.
I tried soaking it on soap water, but doesn't work. I do not want to use bleach, as I use this cup ever day. Any advice?

If you lived next door to people who were very nice people, the kind of neighbours anyone would want, but who were extremely noisy how would you go about telling them? It's a daft thing really, but when they close cupboards and drawers in their kitchen it sounds like they're hitting the wall with a large hammer. Sometimes it's such a thump it opens cupboard doors in our kitchen and knocks the tea caddy over. That can't be acceptable can it? Nine years they've lived there and I'm at the end of my tether but really don't know what to say. In particular, the noise ruins every Christmas and New Year, it's just horrific sometimes. It's dreadful when they have family get-togethers. It's only ever really quiet when the husband and wife go away on holiday, which is fantastic for us! They'll be mortified to know how loud they are but I don't know how to start the conversation.
