I want to pot some flowers for my front porch. Unfortunatly I did not inharite the green thumb from my father. My first attempt at this failed myserioubly. So, I need some help and advice. Something simple, yet pretty and colorful. Step by step instructions would be great but please don't feel obligated. I talked to the garden people at Lowe's when I made my first attempt and obviously what they told me didn't work out. So please, HELP!!!!!!!!

I have atleast 20 polo shirts thats the same brand. But some seems to shrink more than others and I just dont understand why? I wash them in cold water & tumble dry in medium heat.
Some polo shirts dont shrink as much as others no matter how I wash or dry them. WHY??????????

My husband had a bucket of tools that sat outside through this past winter. I had forgotten about them until the snow melted, and now we have a bucket full of tools that are rusted over. Any suggestions on how to get them clean? They range from screwdrivers, wrenches, nuts and bolts, and some socket wrenches. Thanks.

I can't figure out what kind of tree this is in my yard.. I live in the southeast US and my tree blooms beautifully in the spring with hundreds of beautiful pink flowers, about palm-size... the tree is about medium size.

I am in the process of having a new kitchen - my fitter has been here for 3 hours and I've made him 2 cups of tea. Shall I just keep out of his way? Will he just ask if he wants more?

there are 3 dials, the left is the temperature dial, the middle looks like a timer and the right one has MAX written at the top. If anyone could let me know what numbers etc should be there either with a description or a photo I'd be very grateful.

We just moved into a new home but we need to make an additional bedroom for my son. There is an oversized 2 car garage attached to the house and thats where we decided to put my sons new room. It is freezing in there, it is unfinished (studs) with no insulation. We already put in a sub-floor with a vapor barrier and sheet insulation. Our problem is with the walls, they are 2x4.
My question:
Is there any type of insulation we can use that will give us a higher R value than 15 or will we have to add 2x2's to the exsisting studs so we can put at least R19 (we live in NE PA).
Thanks for your help!

My husband and I have a townhouse that we rented. It has sliding doors in the living room to get to the back 'yard', and they put vertical blinds in front of the sliding doors. We do not have a place to store them (our bed is a platform style, so there is no under the bed, and none of our closets are big enough to fit the blinds in there), so we want to leave them up, but cover it with curtains.

I'd like to put the curtains in front of the blinds, but the rod would have to extend a good 5 or so inches from the wall. Is there any hardware I can use that would extend the rod connection pieces so I can hang the curtains in front? I'm going to hang the curtains above the blinds and in front, to completely hide them (we don't use that door much, so the curtains won't be fully opened, and I have a design in mind that will let light in, but hide the top of the vertical blinds).

But I need to get the curtains in front. Any suggestions?
