Home & Garden - 27 March 2007

I have a closet in a small apartment building which is next to my bathroom. I'm thinking about turning it into a laundry closet where I would put a washer/dryer stackable unit in. Can I connect the washer's supply and drain to that of my bathroom sink and more importantly, can I use the vent for the toilet or sink as my vent for the dryer? Will this cause any backups in my unit (the bottom floor) or in any of the other two units directly above me? We all share a common vent.

Thanks in advance!

Specifically, what is the best printable fabric/ink solution. Is there somewhere I can send/email the photos and get them printed on fabric? I'd like to use the quilt everyday. Thank you!

Lately I've been seeing these really big red ants with huge butts... Not a very professional description, I know. But I've never seen them before, and I hate ants over all the other insects. They don't look like fire ants, and they're creeping me out! Does anyone one know what kind they are?

I am keen to do my bit for climate change and have installed a solar panel. As i live in a very rough neibourhood i have found it too risky to put it outdoors so have put it in the loft where there are lots of windows but it never gets any sun. However it only produces power when i turn the light in the loft on??? Why??

Out tulips started blooming but the same day they open they fall apart. The petals fall completely open and begin to fall off. Some of the blooms have started to crumble before they even open all of the way. All of the other tulips in the neighborhood last a few if not several days. What is wrong with ours?

Wanting to produce some renewable energy I have tried to construct a small hydroelectric power plant in my back garden. This involves pumping water up to a sufficient height to fall at the required speed to power the dynamo. In order to be sufficient I am powering the pump from the dynamo but its not working! what shall I do - i can't use electricity to pump it - not renewable!! HA

Im looking to plant a garden this coming spring and need some pointers from experienced gardners. Im thinking about planting a small plot behind my shed [against the back wall] (northern side). I figured it should get enough sun this way instead of being on the east or west side of the shed. I want to plant tomatoes, peppers, herbs, cucumbers, and maybe some peas. Since i figure that the plants that are closer to the shed will get more shade, any advice for what order to plant them? Or should I just consider moving the plot away from it and keeping it out in the open?

I have had dishwashers on both sides, and I really don't see that much difference. I am right handed. It doesn't matter what side we install the dishwasher; I am curious as to why a right handed person would want something to the left??

I have a sectional sofa that is a very light cream color. It is made from that suede like, micro fiber (that is supposedly easy to clean). Well, our newest dog was having a little trouble with accidents on the couch, and I am having trouble cleaning them. The initial stain and odor was easy to get out using sofa or upholstry cleaners. However, our sofa is now covered in small rings. It has left a ring around each stain I have cleaned, like a watermark. I have tried to clean those, but just get newer, bigger watermarks. How can I stop this cycle? What is the best way to clean a sofa like ours? Its only a year old, but I'm so frustrated, I'm about to buy a new sofa. Help me please!
