It was said that we used 316 Ccf this past month (in our new home we are renting) and we have never had a gas bill over 150.00 in any previous homes we lived in. Could this possibly be right?

I had 10 seeds for a Solanum Muricatsum or also called Kachuma.Well from the 10 seeds I got one growing.Since I had to use some sand at the beginning I am wondering now should I repot it,(it has leaves and is about 2 inch in height it also starts curling a bit at the stem,do I have to use sand again? And should I support the stem so tha it grows straight?

All I have in now is the subfloor. I want to tile the floor, so I know I need cement board on the floor, but should I put any of the fixtures in first? I'm putting in a shower, whirlpool bath, vanity, and toilet, but don't know if any of them set on top of the cement board, or if i should put them all in first and then cut the backer board to fit around them?

I remember reading about a product you would put in the dryer with your aprons to alleviate this. We do not have the luxury of tying the strings prior to drying

Thanks for all your answers, our soil as i said is very hard clay and the grass nr the edges of the borders is always wet so its like walking on soggy grass even in the height of summer. The house is around 50yrs old and is sort of established with lots of trees and loads of connifers however hardly any other plants will grow, I'm not sure if its down to the clay or to the roots of the connifers. We have been here 5yrs and have been trying for the past 3yrs to get something decent to grow, certain plants that don't have deep roots do ok but not brilliant

I have a 2-story house that is 70+ years old and brick. It is a city semi-detached row home, meaning one wall is open to the elements. But the real problem is at the firewall where it is attached to an empty building. I've had problems with moisture (water) on the side where the two structures are attached. I know there is space (about 6 inches or so) between my brick firewall and that of the building. Can some type of insulation be put into that space to cut down on: a) the moisture traveling between the two and b) to keep my heat from escaping through that wall. I notice that the wall is always cool to the touch so I imagine because there is no balance of heat from the other side since the building is empty and abandoned.

HELP!

The fruit trees in my yard really out of hand, there're too tall now , and I would like to replace them with ones that don't grow tall. I have some young saplings that I could maybe use. I heard some where that if you cut the tap root while it is young, you could stunt it's growth. true or false?

Is there a safe way to clean what I think is a latchhook rug, it has little threads of yarn sticking out of the border and flatter design in the middle. The middle part is very dirty it's like an off-white or tan coloring with palm trees on it...I want to wash it but I don't want to wreck it. Any suggestions?
