I live in the UK and I need some shrubs or bushes that grow fast to give my garden some impact, it is a new house with just a garden of grass, I have planted some shrubs but obviously they will take time to grow, I would really like some instant impact any ideas?

Sorry if this has been asked before-I tried to find an answer to my problem..........The outside unit is running. The inside unit is running. There is no or very, very little air coming out of any of the vents in the house. Does anyone know what might be the problem? I don't know if this matters but we change the filters once a month or every other month at the most. Thanks in advance for your answers.

Is it cheaper to have electricity throughout an ENTIRE APARTMENT, where at any given time, the only things running are a lamp, the TV, the DVD player, a fan, and a laptop (a total of 5 things, give or take.) or is it cheaper to run it all off of one surge protector?

I'm attempting to prove a point to my mother that it would benefit her more to turn the electricity on in the upstairs apartment where I'm living for the summer as opposed to running everything on ONE surge protector for the entire apartment.

So which is cheaper, electricity completely, or a surge protector that, according to my mother, is "drawing on the power from downstairs and dimming the lights"?

What does BTU stand for? I just bought an air conditioner that is 10,000 BTU. Is it better if the number is lower like 92000 BTU?

Yesterday I tried to plug in my pool filter into the electrical outlet that is linked to the house on a stand next to the pool. For some reason, the outlet isn't working any longer. I tried the test and reset buttons, and nothing. I bought a medium grade 100 foot extension cord to use temporarily, so I can just run it into another outlet in the garage. I am wondering if I should call an electrician and what kind of job this would become... cost? Do you think they would have to redo all of the wiring? That seems like a big job to me. I plan to sell my house in about 8 months. Do you think that people would be not inclined to buy the house because the outlet next to the pool does not work? The outlet has underground wiring that runs about 75 feet.

i was a bit drunk one night when i misplaced my roomkey. the landlady didn't have a spare key. i was thinking a door knob should have two keys, shouldn't it? there's no other way but to ask a housemate for a help. He went upstairs through a ladder from outside. he went inside my room through the window and opened my door..after a few minutes, i decided to lock my door so i could sleep but the door knob wasn't working at all...it was broken...i had no idea why...perhaps if the landlady had her spare key, it wouldn't be like that...she wanted me to buy a new one...it's okay with me to buy a new one but do i have the right to ask a share from her? i want to transfer to another boarding house soon...

It's time to replace my washer and dryer, and since we have such a tiny laundry room, I was thinking of getting the newer front loading machines, and building a (self supporting) counter top over them. The units would be enclosed on 5 sides, with only a few inches of clearance in the rear. Does anyone know if this would cause a problem with over heating ? Of course, the dryer would have it's exhast ventalation, but do the units themselves generate substantial enough heat as to require ventalation space around them? I can't seem to find this information from the pre-sale info I've found so far.

Thanks in advance.

What kind of flower/plant is this:
Go here for a picture:

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/Vilandra485/PinkFlowers.jpg

It seems to have 5 petals, but they aren't separated petals. The inside has those things that sprout out - I don't know what those are called, sorry! - it has 10 of those, white in color. Then also on the inside the center is rimmed with a ring of dark pink. The flowers came off a big bush/plant and the were in clusters. Each little stem has about a 1/2 dozen little stems coming off it, each with 2 little flower buds coming off that. (Seen in the pic.) The inside center is white for the light pink ones, and light pink centers for the dark pink flowers - and all have that ring around their centers tho. Thanks so much.
