They are now over 5 ft tall, and look really bad 4 a flower bed and need to be removed ASAP and planted else where. My question is : How, (I mean with the roots and all) do u just cut through them? Is it ok to do this time of the year (in Texas heat)?

I am going to paint a concrete porch and the only thing keeping me is patches of glue left over from the astro turf that had been removed. i had found some 30 minute adhesive remover that makes the glue come up pretty well (along with the old paint) except the scraping is just too much of a job and not really that much remover comes in one can. so i have decided too just dip a paint brush in the adhesive remover and go over the glue patches and then give it hell with a power washer. i was just wondering if anyone might have some usefull tips and might know of some well working products i cound find a a local lowes store that might work better. I am also open to hearing other methods that might be easier, Thanks!

There are many things that make your home your home and professional window treatment is what makes your home, you.

There is in fact a person who has an unbelievable amount of experience in making and in fact more of installing these window treatments. He has in fact spent his whole life doing what he knows and loves which is installing and making drapies for a various cliental.
If you know where he may get a job or interview, or a site that is hiring installers.

If you also are a interior designer, he may you very much. He can install your drapies for your new home for your client. He is also experienced in chair covering. I.E. if you found the PERFECT chair but the color or fabric does not work, he would be more than happy to recover the chair, to whom which it work for you.
For anyone who is hiring or knows a place online.
I would be more than happy. Thank you, for taking your time no matter how much it is.

I've got a large, healthy blueberry bush until now it seems. I've got these gray things here and there on the bush. They look like seed pods or something.....sort of like an overgrown kidney bean but gray. Some of them have little holes in them. I can't tell if they are surrounding a blueberry or not. I first noticed them last year but there were only a few and I ignored. This year there are substantially more. I'm concerned but I can't seem to find a match to what these things are when I search around the internet. Any thoughts?

I got my electric bill for this month from con Ed.
It is $320.00. Considering the amount of electricity my family
used this month, this bill seems to be more than what it is supposed to be.

As a reference, my family members are at work most time except for myself (high school student) so we rarely use air conditioner during the day. I like darkness (feels less hot) so I don't even let the lights on during the day. Though I use fans for hours everyday, it shouldn't cost a lot, right? I leave my computer on everyday for hours but computers use very little electricity.

My parents and sister don't like cold so only I use air conditioner at night for about three hours. (The air conditioner is a small one that only cools my tiny room) And other tiny little things such as using stoves to maintain your living.
Oh, also, my family don't watch TV usually. I think this electric bill is over rated. It says I used 1650 kwh in 30 days. Is this correct?

We had a fridge delivered but couldnt use it right away. When we finally plugged it in the fridge didnt feel cold. Inside the fridge at the top where the air blows there was styrofoam. We pulled what we could out but it feels as if there is still some in there and the fridge doesn't get very cold. Its hard to see in where the air blows from because the hole in the top faces the back of the fridge .The freezer works fine.
Is styrofoam normally put in there? Do i need to somehow pull out the rest of it?
