Our Edwardian house has wooden sash and casement windows which are in reasonable shape but let in a lot of cold air. Is there a good draft excluder system I can buy or a specialist company that will put one in?

Without even thinking of how much it might cost, just let your wishes control your dreams

What things make it especially Indian .... not just the building itself, but the interiors also ...

Is there a front lawn?

What does the entrance door look like and the entrance hall itself? Any pictures of God? Others?

And the living room? a dining room, too?

Do you want one, two, or three bedrooms ... and one on the ground floor? Where are the bathrooms (and how many?)

And the kitchen: what should that be like ...

Puja?
Store room?

Is there a back court with a garden? A little pool with water .... and beautiful plants around it? A mango tree or two? Play yard? Flowers?

A veranda?

Do you have any extra buildings on the property? Maybe a guest house?

What sort of colors, designs, furniture, light come into your house? Comfortable for guests?

Do you like any Vaastu Shastra plans: having a back door opposite the front door? Anything else?

and every Spring, I see a lot of these bees around. They make holes and mounds in the ground. They are not very brightly colored, but look alot like bees or yellow jackets. I would like to know if anyone knows what they are called and what can I do to get rid of them. The neighbors have them in their yard as well. Thanks for reading!

The driveway is about 15 feet by 30 feet. Any estimate of what it will cost? (I know that this will vary company to company. Just a rough estimate would be nice)

I just moved into a new home, and I am unfamiliar with the plants and shrubs that are here. I live in Central Texas, and am looking for a site or forum that you can post pictures of a plant and someone can help identify what they are. Thanks!

It isn't on the "asseenontv.com" website, but a few years ago I saw a manual tiller that you stick into the ground, twist it, and it brings up the dirt. It isn't motorized, it just looks like a pogo stick with a claw at the end of it. Can anyone help me find it?

My freezer is 32 years old, my washing machine 10, TV 15, car 8. I bought all of them new, none have had repairs apart from exhaust and tyres on the car.

Have I just been lucky or do people throw stuff away long before it is wore out?

I see all kinds of different prices, but I don't know how to distinguish them other then assuming because one is more expensive then the other it is better. What should I be looking for and what is a reasonable price for a king size bed. I would like a pillow top. I've seen prices all the way from $1500 to $400.

We have a sump pump pipe that leads out to the backyard. Needless to say, it creates a little pond at times. What's the best way to handle this situation?

I just discovered a colony of lady bug larvae inside one of my tulip blooms... I'm thrilled... but heavy thunderstorms are on the way. Will the rain wash them away or drown them? Is there something I can do? will the sprinkler drown them?

I have had one plumber tell me to regularly fill my sink/tub with COLD water and then pull the plug to let the rush of water keep the pipes from clogging. However, a different plumber told me to do the same, but with HOT water. HELP!!!! I don't know what to do.

I have a problem with my sprinkler system. When I turn on the water sprinkler it does not have enough pressure and it would only come out of the sprinklers like a boiling pot of water on the stove.....If the problem is something deep, then do I need to dig the pipes and find out, or is there some kind of way I can check without digging up the pipes. We just had a one week of snow in february or late january so I don't know if that could have caused a problem???? The water is coming out really slow and it is not squirting out like it should.....Also I did by new valves for them and it still did not solve the problem.

It's a Brother machine that's only a couple years old. It suddenly stopped working- you can hear the motor running, but the machine pulley won't budge and it won't sew. I keep pushing down on the presser foot but nothing happens. I don't know if it's because something went slack or loose in the machine itself. Please help me!
