My dryer recently broke and I was left with handing clothes on the line. Although my mother did this frequently when I was small, I never paid attention to how she hung different pieces of clothing. I would appreciate any tips.

I have a lucky bamboo at work (three stems, two twisted one straight) in a vase. I change the water every week using bottled water. They have very good roots but all the leaves are very pale almost white. I have moved it around in an attempt to try different light conditions but with no luck. All advise welcome!!!

I have a 3/4 shallow well pump supplying water from a cistern.
I'd like to have a method of shutting off the pump when the water gets down to about 8" to avoid burning the pump up (it's a cheap pump - I don't think it has thermal protectiion).

The pump is sitting on top of the 1500 gallon cistern. The cistern is about 7 foot deep and about 3.5' wide and 7' long. The only access it through a 100 pound concrete lid which I need to keep on to keep the critters out, or a 4" hole which currently has two 1" PVC pipes coming up through it.

The pump is inside an insulated and heated box. It uses a standard 115 volt cord. There are extra outlets in the box.

The closest thing I can think of would be a regular sump pump float switch that switches off instead of on when the water is low.

It almost has to be water proof, the cistern can be filled to overflowing and initially I thought it would have to be near the bottom.

The tag says it will get 3 feet mounds. WOW. I have no experience with this one either. I bought a 6" pot, with few to no blooms, but the stalk on this thing was fat (1/4 inch thick)!

I threw some pea gravel and lime at the bottom of the hole and backfilled with orginal gritty soil. Full sun front corner border situation.

Is there any thing I need to be watchful for here (other than two dogs with venomous p*ss)?
