We planted canna's last summer and before the freeze this winter, we wrapped the base of them with burlap and covered them with plastic. They appear to be dead but wonder if they will come back. If they will come back, do I cut off the dead stalks and new ones will grow?

For my eagle project i'm am building a sitting area at the local senoir housing. Since they are old i would like a bench plan that is confertable to sit in (with a slope), a back to rest against, as well as farely high so it's easy to get up from. I would need a site that gives all dementions keeping in mind that it's relitively easy to build and not complicated.

My husband and I live next some folks with about 30 rabbits. We have a large and growing compost pile of rabbit poo for our garden. How do I start using it? Other neighbors have given us 8 bales of somewhat waterlogged straw. If I mix the two, hoping in the future that it will break down into good organic soil, at what ratio should I mix them? Also - Thinking of maybe making a square box using the straw and putting the poo inside it hoping it will break down faster since it will help retain the heat as it composts. What do you think is the best way to do this? Thirdly and lastly - I have built 3 raised beds using pannels I made out of scrap lumber that are 6 ft. long and wide, and 19 inches tall. Since they are so tall I'm wondering if I can use some of the poo as fill - I know it would be bad if it was REAL close to where the veggi seeds get planted - but also we don't know where else to get fill and we will need several yards of soil/top soil to fill them up.

I have a washing machine that works off a 4-wire 3 phase 220V circuit. I bought a new dryer that requires single phase 220V and I was wondering if I could tap into the junction box for the washing machine and get single phase 220V power for the dryer.

I would like to hang a moose head that I have in the living room. The question I have is on the location where the wall meets the cieling. How thick is the wood in this spot. Is it strong enough to place two ancors in this location and hang the moose from it with chains.

Hi am just moving my washer in the utility room and wondered is it ok to have the water connections close to the electric socket. The washer is going in a standard 600mm wide space where there is an existing socket on the back wall towards the right hand side of the opening. To the left is going to be a new sink base unit. I plan to bring the cold and hot feed into the opening about the same height as the socket and the water connections will be about 12" away from the socket/plug. Is this going to be ok or should I put the connections inside the sink unit. Thanks

I have a table that I want to stain to be darker, but the top is laminate. I know a liquid stain won't penetrate the laminate, but will a gel stain work since it's non-penetrating?
