My plant is huge, about 6 feet high and as wide. I have to split him (his name is Lenny, at that size he deserves a name) or add on to my house.

I have a black leather sectional and a coffee table with tiles that are a sort of rust color with some blues and reds in it. What color should I paint an accent wall?

I am wanting to grow this vine perhaps up the side of my two story brick house. There is not any windows on the side and it has a huge brick wall to cover. I heard that this vine is really easy to grow and can grow 10-15 ft in one season!
I also like the way it looks in this picture covering a brick mansion. It is soo beautiful). It blooms like that for how long? can you tell me about it?
What does it look like in winter?

doesnt this vine have a cousin in the Fallopia family that is like a shrub?

ok, so we just moved our horses to a new pasture, it's wonderful except right infront of where the barn and stall entrance is is about a 20 by 10 muddy area (it's sorta downhill ) and it's pretty much soggy (were talking 2 feet deep) year round cause it's shaded.
any idea of how to rid the muck?

I want to increase the energy efficiency of my single story home which has a brick exterior and utilizes plaster wall construction (i.e. walls have no insulation)

I want to hire someone to come in and clean every couple of weeks. Problem is I don't know anyone in my area that can recommend someone. There are ads in my local newspapers but how to choose one?

I have a problem with roaches and a friend suggested roach bombs and the internet mentioned niban bait. Are they safe, inexpensive, and can I use them myself, without calling in a pest control expert?

I know you can use vinegar to clean the bath tub. Does anyone have any other good natural products that can be used, eg. to clean the bathroom, to mop hard floors etc. I am keen to avoid chemicals such as bleach. thanks :)

I'm trying to germinate an avacodo fro seed and some websites recommend that I use charcoal in the water at the early stages to "keep the water sweet". Is there a special type of gardening charcoal and where can I purchase it?

I have a Pottery Barn Charleston sofa in an 83 inch size that has been discontinued by Pottery Barn. I have searched eBay, but there are only slipcovers for the 96 inch sofa. I am looking for new slipcovers that will fit the 83 inch one. Is it possible to take the old slipcovers and mail them in to an online place and have them copy the pattern? I live in San Diego. Any other suggestions? I have called Pottery Barn and they are looking into whether it is possible to get this size, but they are really expensive from them. Thanks for your help.

My house has a circulated range hood and I would like to get a new one with exhaust pipe. Should I consider add the duck work thru the roof or along the ceiling out to the wall? I have a one story wood shingle roof. thanks

and the walls were very dingy and stained can you use regular flat paint over it. I talked with someone and they told me yes but I want to make sure because we are doing this project for our daughter who will turn 13 soon and she is really excited about it and I do not want to do all this work and have the paint peal off
