There are lots of these trees all over the LA area right now. They tend to be tall, the blossums are over the entire tree, and are a mustard yellow, the leaves are a pale minty color, and the bark is rough with vertical ridges.

Oh, and don't you love the Jacarandas right now? So beautiful!

I just bought a new moen kitchen faucet, no kinks in the lines, and i checked the aerator. I disconnected the lines to check the pressure from the lines, it is strong at that point which leads me to think it is the faucet or something getting caught in the faucet and restricting flow, but what, and what can i do. The previous faucet had low flow as well. All of the other faucets in the house have good pressure. I found a few specks of rust in the aerator of both new and old faucets. Is there an internal screen in the faucet itself that i can clean? It is a real pain to wash dishes. Need help ASAP.

I found one yesterday and was going to keep it to find what it was and if it's a good or bad little bug. It escaped. I found it in bark mulsh that's been in the flower garden two years. The little bug looked like a drop of gold.

I'm looking for a bed frame and mattress. Anybody have some suggestions that they love? I'm a 20 year old college student, but I'm looking for something nice that will last me the next several years. Simmons? Sealey? Select Comfort? How about frame? I'm liking the contemporary designs.

Price-wise I'm looking to keep it under $1200 for both.


I don't know if it matters, but I sleep on my stomach a lot. Side sometimes too. 6 foot, 170 lbs.

I ordered coarse mulch for $18/yard. I asked the yard material supplier if they carried wood chips and they didn't. Would it be cheaper to buy wood chips? Who sells and deliver wood chips? This is for 1/2 acre back yard that is not landscaped. (I just want cheap material)

We had a person offer ivy on the freecycle list for Seatlle. Ivy is a very big invasive weed problem here and should not be distrubuted. Shouldn't this type of giveaway be deemed inappropriate for freecycle?

I am moving into a new house next week and I want to paint my livingroom/dining room. Right now it is a very boring tan color. The carpet is a off white color. I really like vibrant/bold colors but what is throwing me off is my furniture. I have an oversized red couch and L shaped chair.
What color would look good with the bright red furniture?

The trim in my Cape Cod house's living room is three different stain shades, one for bay window, another for fireplace and another for door, and ceiling/floor trim. The windows are stained wooden frame. Can I paint the trim without painting the window casings? Do I have to paint the trim on the rest of the first floor (bedrooms)? Bathroom trim is already painted. Upstairs MBR trim is painted (but not window casings). I want to sell the house. Should I just leave the stain shades alone? The fireplace was just paint-stripped and refinished and is beautiful--it just doesn't match the other trim. Can I paint other trim and leave fireplace?

Any advice?
Thanks!

I want to re-do our kitchen countertops.
Granite is out - too costly
Corian looks great , but is only a bit cheaper.

I'm not looking for a "first class" effect, just something that looks better than laminate.

Any suggestions?
