I'd like to have a new detached 2/3 car garage constructed in the same area as the water line running from our well to our house. I might be wrong, but it makes sense that this won't be a problem if the water line is buried deep enough. Is this correct? If so, how deep is deep enough?

My garden is very small and a huge fox hole has been dug out - using a concrete patio floor as the roof. I have tried using an ultrasonic movement detector to drive it/them away + some animal repellents like pepper spray on soil - but to no avail. I would be grateful for any advice.

I have recently installed a small 3 man hot tub. The pump works great until I turn the heater on. Once the heaer is on it runs for only 10 to 15 mins and trips the reset button on the control box. Any suggestions? FYI. This is an older Leisure Bay brand hot tub.

One of my children left crayons in their pockets and they made their way to the dryer. The inside of my new dryer now has blue crayon marks all over it! They don't wipe out and they so far haven't come off on any other clothing, but I'm worried they might so I'd like to remove them. Any ideas?

Througout the day, the white flower will turn a fuschia color. By the end of the day, it's all fuschia colored. Flower seems to last only for that day then eventually falls off the tree. Does anyone know the name of the tree? Of the flower?

I am a hardcore improve actor and am playing the role of a ghost of a high society woman who was murdered. I've taken an old polyester black dress of mine and am thinking on bleaching it to get a turn-out of decay or even make the dress different shades of white and gray. The bleach has chlorine in it and I was wondering if anyone would know what kind of result I might get.

Since we are building a house soon in Wales, UK, we are planning on being a little more "green" by installing a Rain Water Harvest system to capture rainwater.

Does anyone have any experience of using one of these systems (their efficiency, benefits overall in the house, problems) and does anyone have any recommendations for a company (wherever they are from) that would supply in Wales.
