Home & Garden - 1 July 2007

I know that it depends on the job. But I have absolutely no clue how much jobs like this cost.

In one of the shower/tubs in the house, there is a problem. When it runs for a while, it floods the house. I'm guessing a burst pipe. I don't have much money, but I now have to sleep in a room, where there is mold in the furniture, and possibly in the carpet/walls.

I just would like to know an approximate estimate, so that maybe I could save up, or just forget the whole thing.

Okay so just wondering, does anyone work at a dollar tree store around you? If so, are they good staff? And do you enjoy working there? I'm a teenager, and I think it would be an OK job to work there. The one that lives by me is really organized and clean. What do you think?

A bird planted an acorn tree in our front yard. And after so long its now just getting acorn's on the tree. Its planted next to another huge tree that we planted and so I was just curious how big it will get, and if it should be replanted to another area so their won't be such over crowding?

The cabinets and appliances are now white as well as the floor that is white with small greish/black squares in the center of the tiles. The wall was painted in a beige color.

Trying to decide the color of hardwood to use for our new home. We are putting hardwood throughout from Kitchen (light cream cabinets with chocolate glaze) dining, and greatroom through the bedrooms. The only exception being the two baths and utility, where we will use tile. I like the hand sculpted dark hardwood, but some have suggested the new "tiger eye" wood flooring. Any other suggestions?

They are coached, I guess to say lots on each property to keep the show interesting but it is really a bore.Plus the bad and nervous acting, as though they are walking in house for first time, dont see a camera crew, and start to "peruse" each detail..Watch closely it is a scream! And dont get me started on that song...

There is this aggressive parasitic vine I am trying to identify. I knew what it was once but didn't write it down. It is a woody vine with spade-shaped green leaves (sometimes fatter spades, almost circular; sometimes thinner) that alternate, and bright orange roots. Leave edges are very slightly scalloped. It spreads by root very pervasively. A photo is available at http://picasaweb.google.com/eewanco/ParasiticVine/photo#5082414225280580306 .

I have an older kitchen that we do plan on doing a major remodel in about 5 years or so. But we want to install a disposal now. We currently have a dishwasher installed and no room to install an air gap that heard about from the retailer I will purchase the disposal from. I have PVC and no available holes in my current cast iron sink to install an air gap.

Is this something I have to install or is there a way around it that my plumber would be okay installing?

The acorns are packed all the way to the top of the pipe. The pipe is to small for a vacuum cleaner and the overall length is about 15'. How can I get them out?

I'm trying to make a curve in my flexable copper line to my house but it would be to great and it would kink my line. Some one told me I could use fittings to go around corners but I wonder if I could get the fittings that go to copper water line. It would be faster and cheaper if I could. If not where would I get some?
thanks
