Home & Garden - 16 November 2006

I have a very tall conifer ( iI believe it to be a chamaecyparis/cypress), quite attractive, lovely green colur and nice conical shape.
It is taking lots of space and light and water in the garden/it has long roots and only ivy can grow near it.
Still its probably good for birds, I don't know if it's OK to cut it down

Why is my shower not hot suddenly?

I have a combination boiler (I think) and our shower doesn't go hot - the other hot taps in our flat turn the hot water on (you can hear the boiler fire up), but the shower doesn't. It used to! And the pressure is lower than it was too. Any simple answers for a non-plumber?

How can I put darker stain on hickory wood cabinets?

I have very light brown stained (with polyurethane coating) hickory kitchen cabinets. I wanted to darken the stain a bit and was wondering if it is possible and how do I accomplish this?
