Home & Garden - 8 May 2007

Does anyone know which cornus variety this type of dogwood belongs to? The flowers are not huge, but there are four white leaves which form into a tip and the tip is coloured pink. I would love to find this plant for my 82 year old mother for whom it has great sentimental value and I'm not having much luck

I'm used to get very "Crisp" shirts back from the dry cleaners which seems to keep the shirt from wrinkling up for a good part of the day. Recently, I went out and bought some No-Iron shirts from Lands End and Brooks Brothers. When they come out the laundry they are indeed without wrinkles, but through-out the course of the day they seem to wrinkle pretty easy. Any suggestions?

The size I want is about 6'x10'. Is that too big of a slab to do without a mixer? And how thick should I go with the slab, and do i need to lay anything on the ground before putting the cement down? I am sort of new at cement but dont want to hire anyone to do it. And if anyone can, please give me step by step instructions on how to do this project... PLEASE!!!!

I need more privacy in my back yard and on one side, I have a 5 ft fence. Can I buy 6 ft. panels, planks, and just nail them to the 2x4 cross boards or will this make it too heavy for the posts etc. It is my fence, I paid for it.

The bannister on the staircase near same wall also vibrates, but I cannot hear any type of similar noise when I go outside. Could other traffic noises be masking the source? It goes on all night long and cannot be heard in other parts of the house. I do not have on any electronics near that wall and cannot figure out why it is doing it.

Do you know of a chat room to find other people who have been impacted by the same tradesperson? This is a flooring tradesman in Melbourne?

We have been left high and dry but the guy is a ghost ie false address, I believe company is unregistered, no ACN etc

I want to prosecute him and stop him from doing the same to others but I cannot find him. He has basically stolen money from us.

Thanks

I have paid a lot of money to get my house built. I have recently moved in and have a list of fairly minor faults that need to be recitified. My problem is that the building supervisor tends to brush off my concerns. He does not reply to phone messages or letters until I have pursued him repeatedly. I finally got him to my house today to fix a leak in the pipes. He insisted the leak was fixed, but as he left I noticed the leak was still going and had to stop him as he backed down my drive (with the radio on, eating a sandwich, and talking on his phone). I only got him to come back in after he had done a lot of swearing. When he got back he discovered the pipe had a crack he had missed before (this was his third attempt)!! Every minor issue with the house takes this sort of trouble to get him to fix it? I am becoming a nervous wreck because of this. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can better deal with these issues in future?
