vertical cracks in walls above doorways and windows/doors do not work properly at certain times of the year/brick home with quarter to half inch diagonal cracks outside/slab foundation-this is a foundation problem right? or just "normal settling" or just shoddy drywalling?

Research in the USA says that over 60% of men would like to recieve flowers and with the rise in the new man/ metrosexual, current interest in interior design, not to mention gay weddings this makes sense.... I was wondering, if a man was to want flowers, what he would like in terms of colours, style, arrangement etc.

i am going to be tilling an area in my garden that will cover a fairly good side of my back yard and am wanting to pick out a good perennial to grow there. It gets partial sun (6 hours) and it is in a temperate climate . I have a leaning towards a Salvia called "Ostfriesland" (East Friesland) and it looks so beautiful. But I think it only blooms for the months of June and July, so would like to know from any garden experts, if it would be a good idea to plant something in with it to give that area of my yard extra bloom time. I was think of possibly just throwing some zinnia seeds among it or planting another perennial in with the salvia. Is this advisable? what other suggestions you might have?
I also like the way Alysum or Artemisia look.
Basically I want something that blooms good and for longtime which is elegant. And does not look just awful in winter time.

Help. The exterior roof line over my garage is sagging from old age. Just had a new roof put on and it did not improve the sag as the roofer said it would. Can I have something done about this without disturbing the new shingles? Any one know? Or have a referral?

I have a large storage area, approx. 500 square feet. My wife wants it all cedar. How much cedar do I need to make it a actual cedar closet/storage that works? Do I need to do all the walls and ceiling or just a sheet here and there?

I have many questions about watering my lawn.

1. How often should I water my lawn? (eg. every day, every other day)

2. How much water should I use?

3. What is the best time to water my lawn? (eg. morning, noon, evening)

4. Should I change how often I water depending on the season?

Please be very specific. Any information is appreciated.

When I flush the toilet, the water rises but doesn't drain. I don't have a plunger or a snake and am in the process of acquiring one but there are air bubbles rise every once in a while. My in-sink-errator (sp?) is also making gurgling noises. A. What does that mean? B. How could they be related? C. I dumped some of the toilet water into the tub and it drained there. If the toilet plunging/snaking works then it was obviously clogged. If not and the sink continues, should I call maintenance? and/or tell them of both? (I don't want to get charged for a complicated service request) D. Is showering OK? I've tried googling and whatnot but I'm a novice when it coming to nonfunctional plumbing =(

How long to they run? Do the landlords just turn them on when winter starts then turn them off in summer?

Are they on a thermostat?

My new apartment has one right under my room and it sounds like a train running through the building. It comes on every 20 mins!!!!!

How long will this go on?

Help me!!!

my landlord is trying to hold us responsible for a plumbing bill, and replacement of carpet padding in the bathroom and kitchen, becaue we had a back up in the shower drain, he is trying to telll us that HIS plumber buddy found baby wipes when snakeing out the drain, therefore we are responsible for the damages and the bill. (they are FLUshable wipes made by kleenex) we called a plumber out of the phone book and he came over and looked at our plumbing and told us that the plumbing is outdated, and the tub is missing a p-trap. He said that it was very unlikely that those wipes would have caused aa problem that big.
the landlord is threatening to evict us if we dont pay the bill, what shoud i do?

I have a rheem air conditioning unit. Tonight I noticed that it was not warming the house. I turned it off for about an hour and then turned it back on. After I turned it on it did start warming the house, but I heard running water. When I looked I found that the handler was pouring out water from the bottom of the unit. I could not locate from exactly where because of the screen (not the filter). I turned it back off and the water subsided. I checked the drain but it was not clogged.
Any suggestions why this would happen?

Thanks

Trees, Shrubs, "perennials", groundcovers, vines, grasses????
and if anybody can help me understand what a "perennial" is i would really appreciate it. It seems to be a very vague term, since many flowering shrubs could also be called "perennials" and shrubs could also be considered "groundcovers" as well, making "groundcover" a confusing term as well.

But I think when you are classifying plants you should divide them into their uses in a garden , right?
