I don't want white walls because I already have white walls. Just looking for interesting options. My floor is mostly white with really small blue flowers. I really am not leaning towards blue but haven't ruled it out. Thanks, Julie

A new maple tree has sprouted right next to my weeping cherry tree and I would like to transplant it soon, as it's trunk is about a 1 1/2" radius. It is so close though, that in order to get the appropriate sized root ball for the transplant, I am worried I may disrupt the root system on the cherry tree. Any suggestions?

My parents just moved into a condo and it doesn't allow their brand-new Weber gas grill - only electric grills. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

If so, what strength is needed? There was a contributor in another post who said vinegar can be used to remove algae streaks from roof shingles. They claimed it was more environment-freindly. Sounds right but is it effective? Anybody had any experience with that? Thanks.

We are renting a house and the gas range is in the middle of the house & has no vent hood. Will there be a carbon monoxide problem? Is it expensive to have one installed?

I have three grapevines growing in my backyard. However, a colony of ants and a horde of aphids have decided to make their homes all over my poor plants! Does anyone have any suggestions on how to naturally get rid of these pests? Thank you!

I have an edgy style so I don't want something boring but I don't want bright neon colors either. I tend to change my moods so what's a color combination I won't get tired of? Any ideas? :[

Can I use simple green on a patio and not ruin it? We had some fireworks and the next day I washed off most of it, but did not get all of it.

It isn't wood, its either cement or concrete. I forget which.

Cuban mahogany is not commercially available today, but it was used extensively in the 1800's. It is a different kind of wood from the type of mahogany which is sold today.
A new home built using such materials would be unique.

I HATE it when meter readers have to come n my property to read meters. So i was wondering is there a way to have them read it without them waltzing on my property? Here is why : I have two dogs. They are sweethearts but A. They would run out if a door/gate was open. B. They arent friendly to intruders or new guests. Every time the meter reader comes her opens my gate, walks in, reads it, walks out. He has to go through the whole yard (it is at the oppisite end) and he lets my dogs out and/or sprays them. I am sick of it! Help! ps I live in CA

I just put a lot of whites into the washer to soak. Then, my husband put it on spin. When we went to check on it, everything was still soaked and the spin cycle was not working. My husband is monkeying around with it but can't figure out why the machine is not spinning. Does anyone know why this would be and how we can fix it? Thanks!!

I plan to take away the carpet in my basement, and install some other type of flooring. A friend recommended the engineering hardwood flooring. Yet I heard that a little moisture would be disastrous for this type of flooring. Is there a better option out there?
