Is this the kind of plant that need to be Placed far away from the foundation of the house, to keep the roots from cracking the foundation? Or is it ok to plant it close to the house, since its roots aren't thick and go down instead of out? If I do need to plant it away from the house, how close is the closest i can get and still be safe? Please help if you can.

I was given a violet cutting--a leaf and stem. It has been potted for several months. The leaf looks vibrant but I am not getting any new growth. How long does it take before new growth occurs?

i have a closet that i'd like to turn into a 1/2 bath. the closet is directly upstairs from my basement washer hook up. nothing too fancy, just looking for a very small sink, compact toilet, and mirror.

also (for resale), do you all think it's a bad idea to take away my entry closet to turn it into a half bath? i only have one bathroom, and though its renovated, it's upstairs. we have a back entry where we have coat hooks and things. from what i know i think the 1/2 bath will add value, but wanted other opinions.

thanks!

I am going to shingle the front half of my house. To cap the top of the roof, I am going to use 1/3 shingles. The problem is that the shingles do not flex if it is not warm outside. I live in South Dakota, and it's still chilly. How do I bend the shingles without them cracking? Also, do I use a lot of roofing cement at the roof cap?

I have a 4 ft by 6 ft Mirror on the wall facing my front doors with a clear stained glass design in them, to reflect and add light.

Is this reflecting the good luck or chi (I am not sure if that is what you call it) back out instead of allowing it into the house?

Any simple pointers to get me started would be greatly appeciated.

Do we have to lay the plastic or foam under snap together laminate? This is going to be throughout the entire house, except in bathrooms and kitchens.

My youngest son wants his room done in skateboarding. He wants a skateboard without the wheels as a wall hanging. Is this possible? Will it look odd? Any suggestions for curtains or valances for his room?

I have one of those self-lighting furnaces. Would it save me money to turn it off or should I just turn the thermostat to its lowest?

My kitchen has white walls, white cabinets with frosted glass in the front of half, black appliances. The counter tops are light grey. Floor is granite light grey color. Not repainting. Need to know what color of curtains you would use. Theme? At the moment there isn't one. No cherries, strawberries, roosters, or chickens. This kitchen has just been re-modeled. I was thinking of doing red and white gingham curtains. I have some vintage campbells items and a few kelloggs. Have a lot of those little funny signs (examples, No man was ever shot while doing dishes or Why can't I get further ahead rather than a bigger behind.) Not sure if I want to use these now. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I use the recommended dishwash detergent for my Bosch dishwasher - Electro Sol with Jet dry. Even so, I get white water spots all over my dishware, including my silver ware. What could be causing the problem? I have used all the electrol sol products - 2-1 ball, the 2-1 gel without the jet dry rinse, with the jet dry rinse, the 2-1 power ball with jet dry rinse etc... nothing helps. My dishwasher is only 3 years old. Help!

I have an old home. Visible crack in the basement foundation and a pencil sized stream of water when the ground is soaked and a heavy rain.
I have been told that there is a fix where they inject the crack with a sealer. Is that a decent option?
I know the best fix is to dig up the outside and seal it well. But i have a concrete sidewalk on that side of my house and hate having to replace the sidewalk.

What is the cost of these proceedures?

Thanks
