This is for personel use and not as a business. I love the look of cotton plants and would like to utlize them. I have learned to make dish clothes from cotton thread, so therefore would like to spin cotton.

I'm drilling a hole in my bathroom wall, but I hit masonry/brick after drilling through the plasterboard. I need to drill an extra say 5mm before the screw will fit. What should I do, continue to drill a bit more into the masonry with a stronger drill bit?

The color is a very light creamy yellow with tall slender trees, flowers, and a cottage. My mother is 85 and would like to complete her dish pattern that she loves so much. I would be interested in all pieces. I have already checked several auction sights for over a year.

I've been living in a standalone house/terrace house most of my life apart from a couple of years when I lived with someone else in an apartment. From my experience, living in a standalone residence has a lot of disadvantages, especially mine being a terrace (me and my next-door neighbors sharing the same walls). In addition, neighbors know when you leave the house, come home, water the plants, clean the car, have your bath etc. cos there's hardly any privacy (unless one lives in a rich residential area, but most of us aren't that fortunate).

One of the disadvantages of living in an apartment-like home are that your neighbors are above and below you unless you're living on the very top floor. What are the other disadvantages of living in apartment buildings?

I'm asking because I really, really hate where I'm living now because there isn't any privacy whatsoever and the neighbors are from hell. Thanks in advance.

The cushions themselves are covered in a net-type-thing. They were horribly hard to remove and I'm dreading trying to stuff them back in.

The place I'm moving to is an old house w/out the hookups. I'll be putting it in the kitchen next to the sink and refrigerator (if that matters).

I had someone change out a ceiling light fixture. A couple of hours afterward, the lights in this room, as well as the room next to it went out; in fact, all the outlets quit too. I now have no power or lights in two rooms in my house. I've checked the circuit breakers twice. There doesn't seem to be a GIM switch to check. If I start over and unattach the ceiling light fixture and then reattach the ceiling light fixture, will that fix everything if the problem was with the installation of the light fixture? Or, was something fried? What shall I do?
Thank you for your help.

She is a middle aged smokin hag who never cleans. She has one window open and I can smell ODORS from her house all day. We are seperated by a 6ft wood fence but the odors seem to float my way. Should I leave a bucket of cleaning items on her doorstep!
