Which is better?
Would an open window, or windows, and a fan be the same thing as using a window fan? or would it be better/worse?

I just bought a Majesty Palm about three weeks ago. I have replanted it into a large container with good soil in it and watered it and fertilized it as most "care" websites call for. The instructions all of the info websites call for are: bright light, water and fertilizer. I live in New Hampshire, and I intend on keeping the palm indoors during the winter (I have a big house)
but right now, the conditions in my yard are perfect for this palm (full sun, 80-90 degrees) and lots of water.


Yet, for some reason, the tips of the leaves are beginning to yellow and the leaves look like they are "tired" they are hanging down and aren't as "perky" as when I bought it.

I am not sure what's going on, it seems to be fine, but then it is not as "fresh" as it used to be.

I want to put hardwood laminate floors in my house but I have two dogs that occassionally may wet on the floor. One is old and the other is just scared of bad weather. I would like suggestions on a good brand to purchase and any experiences you may have had with the same type problem.

I just purchased a "Good Luck Plant" (the twisted bamboo look-alike plant) for my office and I don't know how to care for it.

I have read conflicting instructions online on whether I should transfer it into a pot with potting soil. And whether I should use fertilizer, or if I should only water it with filtered water, etc. Will I need to trim it as it grows? Will it grow? Do I need to leave the gold twistie tie on it? Can I replace the twistie tie with something more aesthetic? If I do put it into potting soil (currently it is in a small vase filled with rocks and standing water), how often should I water it? Does it need direct sunlight, or just indirect natural light?

I think it would be bad karma for a good luck plant to die on me. And I really like this one because it has some fake orchids winding in with it and it looks very pretty.

I am trying to adhere my office decor to feng shui standards.

Today I discovered that in my trash bin outside there are a bunch of maggots. I am so mortified and I want to know are they actual bugs or are they evolved from bacteria and germs. I went to some websites about them and many had mentioned they are fly larvae. I just want to know is it my trash and the hot weather (Im in the south) that caused this or flies? What I REALLY need to know is how do I kill them all (my trash bin is fairly large, its about 4 feet tall, the kind the city provides) and I am also so worried about spreading germs or maggots or anything like that?!?!!?!? Please tell me how to get rid of these nasty *** things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have checked my superheat and subcooling.All perameters appear to be proper. I have adjusted the fan settings to automatic,incase the humidity was from the drying of the evaporater.But still,after the unit shuts off the humidity levels in the room climb to 75% in just minutes. Any ideas?

Hi. I need help thinking of color schemes for my new kitchen. There's one wall of exposed red brick along the side, older wood cabinets that I'd like to paint, a cream colored countertop, and a honey-colored wood floor. What a mess, right?! Any thoughts? I've thought about painting the brick and the cabinets a neutral cream-color and then accenting with one color to pull it all together, but I don't know if I want to cover the brick, it adds so much character. Eventually, I'll replace the cabinets with something more my style......

ok, so i cleaned the air filter, and i made the mistake of using water on it, instead of the air hose, i let it dry for awhile, and it set for about 24 hrs before running the engine, then i ran it and after 5 mins, it sent out white smoke, and i noticed oil coming out my air filter, so the engine took in water and it got in with the oil, what is the best way to clean it out, ive dumped the oil once, and put fresh in, that worked for a bout 10 mins, till it ruined a new air filter by getting oil all over that one too.. Thanks!

We had a tree cut down and the stump ground, however, he didn't quite grind it "level". There is a small mound; I've covered it with dirt. Should I just plant grass over it? How much dirt should I put over it and will it be hard to mow?
