I love these plants. Can people who have them tell me about the advantages and disadvantages of having these plants. Also are they expensive?

I have one story house where the facia board was removed and distroyed. According to City Code it has to be replaced. I want to know of easy way if possible to measure around house from the ground. Is there a way to measure walls from the ground and then add on to get number of feet of Facia Board needed and should I add length to allow for loss due to cutting? I want to be able to price various widths and doing measuring by myself. Minus someone to hold other end of tape on top of a ladder at the roof line in winter weather.

Wonder if there is some neat calculation that can be used. Then I can do a measure of walls and do some arm chair shopping during bad weather for estimates. Ideally, I will then be able to order and have wood delivered and get it painted and then only have to hire someone to cut and nail it up.

I want to grow some ferns this year but they all say ferns generally prefer "loamy, friable soil" and "moderately moist" or "slightly moist". I will have to purchase soil for them to grow in and find a way to keep them moist. Any ideas?

Ok this is what I know.. My "cherry" round oil tank holds 1000 gals of oil. After my last fill up (768.8 gals)I measures 75 inches of oil. The night before I measured 27 inches of oil. Is this enough info for someone to figure out gals per inch?

After a friend in Iowa told me that they heat their house to 80 degrees for only $1 per day, I had to figure out a better way to do what I am doing. They use a shelled-corn-fueled-furnace. After doing some research I have found that many recommend wood pellet furnaces. So, which is most efficient and which has a stronger future (ie. fuel supply, less volatile price for the commodity, etc.)? Thanks

I stupidly washed my place mats that I spilled hamburger grease on. I had pre-soaked them in laundry detergent and hot water and then thought I could wash them better in the washing maching. Stupid. Now my washer is totally grease. Is there anything that I can put in the washer and run in an empty load to get the grease out? We do not have hot water running to our washer, only cold so bear that in mind. Thanks very much!
