I dug about a 2 foot hole close to my foundation for a fence post. As a dug deeper I started to notice clear water trinkling out from the exterior wall of my foundation underneath my basement. I tought I hit a water line but there is no water line in that area and it's not sewage or a drain pipe. Is this water gathered underneath my foundation.

When the well was drilled in Aug.06 I was told that the only I could run it dry would be to fill up a swimming pool.

We can't even do laundry with out running out of water, and our showers have to be super fast!

After spending $3,000.00 to get the well drilled is there anyway we can make the guy who drilled it come back and drill us another one at little or no cost.

He lied and took us for almost all we had. with the lack of rain we've been out of water for 3 weeks. I just want to take a shower in my own home again.

My rental has 60 amp service. When I turn on the microwave when anything else is running (dishwasher or microwave), I blow a fuse. If I turn on the a/c, lights dim. I haven't even tried to iron because I don't know where I can plug in the iron without a meltdown. I had telephone jacks installed at my expense since the landlord had only one working one in the home.

My little girl is 8 and is allergic to mosquitoes. She wants to know why they were ever put here on earth. Also, if anyone has any ideas on how to get rid of mosquitoes outside, that would be GREAT!! It has rained here all summer and the water is standing everywhere. Hard to get rid of the little boogers when they have the perfect breeding grounds!

Can an ordinary rose bush (shrub) be tied loosely to the fan and have it grow upwards? Or does it have to be climbing roses only? I'm not looking for anything hugely tall; just a little growth upwards would be nice.

I recently put down landscaping pebbles/stone around my house and i like the look of them wet and glossy when i first put them down. Now that they are dried out the color kind of clashes with my brick home. Can i spray a wet glossy sealer on them and mix them around for that look? Will that hurt my plants? PLease help or offer suggestions.

Is it me, or are Home Depot employees getting younger and younger? I honestly think that it's not the greatest of ideas. Here's why. My father and I headed over there to find parts and such to fix the plumbing among other things. We went to specific sections and couldn't find certain parts. We asked one employee who I think was around 19. That employee had a huge question mark on his head and referred us to another employee who was, guess what, just as young. Neither of them knew of what my dad was talking about. I think if you are going to get a job at hardware stores like Home Depot or Lowe's, you should have experience. The service was horrible. We eventually found what we were looking for, after talking to a much older employee who knew his stuff.

These branches are obviously different and grow very fast. Everything I found on the web says suckers grow from the root below any graph. Some of the suckers have sprouted down there but I just removed 5 of them that sprouted near the top of the bush?
