(I am guessing that B is a pump)

Also any opinion on how difficult it would be to replace this heater with a tankless model?

Thanks!

I am new to gardening but would like to grow stuff I see in my garden book like candy tuft or astilbe, or alyssum or foam flower, or shasta daisies, etc.

I am new to this. do you just buy seeds for these at Wal-Mart or something and just throw them out like Zinnia seeds or something??

The poor things need trimming regularly and can never reach their full potential. Surely there are naturally small trees that can be selected for power line areas?

We live in a climate that does get a bit chilly & snow (in Arizona - go figure), so I've heard that insulation is really important. The lady I talked to said that foam insulation was the best ... but what about other types? Is there a way to know everything works if we buy a used on that is empty? How are are they to fix if something is broken?

I went to another family's house and the crazy mother there is having an ant problem in her house. She blames the hot weather. There is usually a swarm of ants in the kitchen and whenever she sees this swarm of ants she sprays Mortein Odourless on them. I told her that she should be careful spraying this stuff in the kitchen otherwise it might get into kitchen utensils and this might get into the children's body, but she says that she aims it away from the kitchen utensils. The problem is that although she doesn't aim directly at the kitchen utensils (like knives, forks, spoons, etc) she aims it probably just 10 centimeters off. I think that getting rid of ants can be achieved simply by wiping with a damp cloth. Ants usually die when exposed to the hydrogen bonds in water, so I think using a fly spray on ants is overkill.

Is what this woman doing dangerous? Is there any evidence out there that I can show her to prove that household inseticides can be harmful for humans?

My god. I get shocked EVERY single day. I am so afraid to touch my light switches, my cat, my blankets, doorknobs. Nothing works. I've tried lotion & static spray. Just a second ago, I went to turn off my lamp, and the little thing that you pull produced such a strong shock that it moved pretty hard, and everytime I get shocked there is a lot of blue. How do I stop this!??!?!?

This chair is solid oak, 24 in. high to arms 30 to back, 24 in wide and 21 deep. I rescued it from a dumpster (had a cracked leg which I wood glued and has been fine). It's a really neat old thing and i was wondering if any creative creature out there had any spiffy ideas that someone with not too much artistic capacity could handle. Thanks

I just started today putting down sod in my backyard. The whole yard is hard dirt. Today it rain and loosend the ground a little so I went to Lowes and bought some sod. I broke up the dirt like I read online about 2 inches and layed the sod about 3 inches apart from each other. I just got done watering to get the roots to settle in the ground. I love in southern CA so it rained for an hour this morning and then the sun came out and warmed the day. I have seen many brand new homes with sod and it is always far apart from each other but I read online they need to be touching... which way is correct? Should there be a small space or close together? The other question is did I lay the sod right? Am I missing a step or do I need to add manure or anything? What is the best way to keep the sod healthy? Thanks for any help!

I think there are too many that look so similar.

why is this?

I mean it should not be too hard to choose, since they all look very similar.

So I'm taking Housing and Interiors this year as an elective. We have to design our own houses. Mine is more of a contemporary style and for my great room I chose blue-green walls with black furniture and want orange accents in it. But anything that I happen to find for an accent is always a diffrent shade of orange. I was thinking about breaking it up but throwing some white in there but I'm not sure what to do. Any ideas.
