im about to move into a nw house and the bedroom has a bright orange carpet, orange curtains and orange walls. What colours would suit orange? Its very bright but kind of a burnt orange rather than a vibrant colour.
Any help greatly appreciated :-)

I am looking to build a home on some family farm property that I intend to stay on until retirement. I am not looking for an investment opportunity, where I will sell right away. I will plan on staying, not selling! The size I am looking at is not huge.
Our current options are 1.) A site built home with basement or 2.) A modular home with basement.
Obviously, the modular can be put together faster. Please, share your opinions/knowledge/experience on stick built homes v.s. modular homes with basements. Especially the cost differences.

First of all I have no gardening experience whatsoever, hence me growing my flowers in the back of the fridge!!!

I have pickwick, remembrance and jeanne d'arc bulbs which I put in the refrigerator in those tiny glass hyacinth vases. They've been in since around October and I have been filling the vases just to the brim with water with the bulbs on top turned on their sides, as directed by the packaging! Typically I lost the packaging :-D and am stuck as to what to do next! They have started to produce roots and shoots. Now for my barrage of questions:

1. When can I take them out of the fridge?
2. Now that they have started to produce roots and shoots, should I turn them to grow down into the vases?
3. When should they be placed in sunlight?
4. Should I plant them in soil?
5. If I should not plant them, and should keep them in their vases, should I keep topping them up with water?

Thanks and apologies again for my thoroughly embarrassing lack of gardening knowledge!!!:-D

Me and my girlfriend got into a little argument about whether gas water heaters use electricity. I think natural gas water heaters use a little electricity and my girlfriend thinks they don't. On our natural gas water heater there are little wires that lead to a turn-able nob that can turn the water heater on and off. I think this is where the electricity is used and she thinks gas runs through them.

hi! I need some help with decorating my bedroom. My comforter is a bright pink color, (the brand is seventeen) and my furniture is cherry wood, with a more "princess" kind of theme, since its a sleigh bed, with kind of fancy clear knobs. I just got the set not too long ago, when we moved into our new house. The walls are STILL white, and so boring. I feel as if my new room i was looking forward to, isnt anything special. I am a teenager, and i want a more teenage kind of room, rather than a little girls. How can i do this with the bed set i have? I really need some opinions on colors for my walls. I was thinking maybe light purple, even though its not in my comforter, and just adding purple throw pillows to accent the room. I was also thinking of getting a white duvet cover, and painting my walls a light blue color, but i cant seem to find any fair priced duvet covers. Any idea where to find these? What do you think of the purple idea?any other colors u think would go with my set?

I would like to trim these up with out damaging the plant. When I was a child they were nice and thick with many large blooms. I would like to have a nice cleaned up look to them. Any suggestions would be great, I really like the bush (more tree-like now) and would like to have it around for many more years.

thanks

I am wanting to grow some more unusual bulbs this spring in Houston. Any suggestions will be appreciated. I would like something that requires little of no fuss and will come back each year.

We're building a storage box in the garage using plywood. It doesn't need to be attractive, but because it's not inside we wanted to make sure we got the least likely to rot while not getting the most expensive type.

My iron must have had some residue from a previous iron-on transfer or something, and it left a black streak on my white dress-shirt, not cotton cause it's stretchy white, but a really nice tight weave. I've tried Woolite with a brush, and some new Clorox Special Care, even tried using the iron again with a white cloth. Please help, it's my favorite.

A friend said if I replace the washer, get he dryer also. The amount I could wash and the energy saved will be worth the cost. Has anyone has similar luck?

There's a spot in rural Ontario we drive by sometimes that has a decent-sized grouping of trailers. Not 'trailer park'-type trailers, but what're often referred to as Winnebagos. Some are rather wee.

Given that it's by the water, we figured it was a seasonal thing.

Nope. Still there in the snow, with signs of current occupation.

Is that even particularly economical? It seems to me there'd be a lot of unique costs to living like that. The need, for one, to shop frequently while living in the sticks. (Nearest grocery store is +/- 1/2hr away.)

I assume there're hook-ups for things there given the density in just the one area -- what sort of services would there be?

It doesn't have the expected "Such-n-Such RV Park" sign or any details out front.

Really odd to see a crammed-in mini-community like that. Given how easy it is to see from a not unused highway, I don't think they're there illegally.

Any insights on how living there works out?
