Home & Garden - 16 June 2007

My home is a small 2 bedroom house (a little over 1000 sq. ft). The fireplace comes out soooo far from the living room wall it takes up a lot of space and causes an awkward flow. I want to remove it to add more square foot but im not sure if it will decrease the value losing the fireplace? thanks for your advice!

I live in Pensacola, Fl. and this time of year it's hot and dry. I have very little shade where I want to plant them, I need something that can take the heat and sun.

I went to Walmart today and bought this tiny plant and on the label it was called "Cactus-succulent"...I'm not quite sure what it is. It kind of looks like a Jade plant, but it is only 1.5" tall and a lot smaller than the Jade plant. Does anyone know what it could be and more importantly the care for it ie: how much should it be watered - daily - weekly?

I went to this housing seminar today and this speaker talked about Habitat for humanity in Atlanta, how you can easily qualify if you volunteer 250 hours to other building projects, you rent your house for one year, you make payments on time and if you assist to 12 housing classes for first time buyers...other benefits also include no Interest on your mortage, low monthly payments, etc...is this all real? Also how good are these houses? In terms of construction, you have some people with some or no knowledge building it, how certain are you that you are getting a good secure and long lasting house ? Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated....if you currently live in a Habitat for Humanity house please tell me your experience...thanks !

I have a large garden and its divided into 2. 1 half is for the family and the other is for my black lab and terrier. They are shitting machines, and no matter how well i clean their side by picking up the dirt, hosing it down and using dissinfectant , IT STINKS TERRIBLE. I would like to buy a few strong smelling trees or plants to drown out the smell. I heard "lavender" is good, Whats the best smelling outdoor tree or plant, maybe something i can plant or pot, doesnt matter.

Here is a basic diagram-
4 wires w/ white, black, and ground
(Light 1 WI IB) (Light 2 WI IB) (Load WI IB) (Line WI IB)



(BI IB Switch 1) ( BI IB Switch 2) ( WI IB GFCI-Line) (WI IB GFCI-Load)

The trick is to balence the W to B after the GFCI so it doesn't trip and wire so that the each switch is independent. Everything I have tired either trips the GFCI or one switch turns on both lights. .

We might be moving into a new house but we've heard the landlady is really horrible and may try and rip us off by stealing our deposit etc. What questions could we ask or subjects could we bring up to possibly make her show her true colours?

Ok I used to have a Bulliten Board in my room (corkboard), but the tape on the back ruined my paint. I want a bulliten board to just put pictures of my friends on that doesnt cost a hundred dollars. I saw one at pbteen but each piece cost like 25.00 each. That was crazy. My room is light purple. I just want a bulliten board that would go into a room that a teenager lives in. So if you could just give me a few links that come up with some Bulliten boards that would be great. Thanks
