Home & Garden - 3 December 2006

We cut the base of our tree once, put it in water. It drank for about two days and then wasn't drinking anything for about three days. So we cut the base again and immediately put it back in the water and it still is not drinking. What can we do so we don't have a dead tree before Christmas?

I've always liked the idea of having heaps of lights and other decorations on and around my house for christmas. Other people seem to be able to pull it off quite well so I was just wondering:

How much did you spend on decorations for your house.
How did you decide what theme to go with.
How do you set it up correctly so you don't blow up your house!
Which decorations are easiest to use, and which are best.

I've always wanted to have a really good looking house around christmas. Thanks for your help.

Or do charity shops etc also have too many they don't know what to do with them? Any suggestions or should I just throw them out? I'm presuming the council wont take them for recycling as most of them are a combination of metal/plastic.

I've removed all the old sealant. There is a gap in both corners. It's about 1/3 to 1/2 inch wide at the bottom between the top of the tub and the shower wall corner. I can stick my finger into it an inch or so - there is damaged wall-board back there. The gap is about 2 inches tall, but then narrows to nothing.

I know it sounds kind of bad - this whole bathroom needs to be re-done. But for time being - what is the best way to fill and seal this large gap. Just squirt tons of silicone into it? Or is there something else I could use?

It is for a Christmas contest, but I can decorate it any way I choose. How do you get glue to stick to glass?

I have been experimenting with growing seeds at home.
I have some in seed compost in a propogator and one seed I put inside a folded peice of kitchen roll within a glass.
I have kept both methods moist, yet the kitchen roll method seems to have worked more effectively.
Now I have a seed with a 10mm long shoot coming from it.
Can I just put this in soil now?
Or woudl a nutrient jelly work better?
Or do I leave it a bit longer?

i put 10 gal of fuel in today, my furnance started to run. it ran for about 30 min, i set the termastats to 80, just so it could run out and burn up the dust and stuff, then it shut off and won't come back on. the auto shut off is still in the on position, which means i don't have to bleed the line, but i re turned up the stats and still nothing, i checked the breaker and it's fine, i am at a loss on what to do next, can anyone help me?

I've lived here 5 years and the only improvement that has been made is an addition of min-blinds. The walls need painting badly. I'm just curious if it's worth mentioning and fighting for, as I've had to do with any issue regarding the property manager. Many thanks in advance if you can answer this or point me in the right direction.
