Thanks in advance.
Ps. For how long, and when do daylillies bloom?

i have been to a vacuum shop and mr caldwell says there are really no quality upright cleaners in his mind out there. once they establish themselves they go plastic on everything to watch costs. are there any out there of good or great quality that have small attachments for upholstery cleaning especially? thanks for your input

I have a craftsman 22" push mower that is giving me some trouble. I hit a huge rock and the mower shut down on me like it is supposed to do. I went and replaced the broken keyway with a new one because it was pretty obvious that it was broken. After I put everything back togeather it will not start. I also replaced the old spark plug with a brand new one.
Someone told me that the mower is out of time----So how do I get it back into time. I think that may be the problem but I am not 100% sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated as my grass is growing by the second.

I've one rose which is beign eaten by something i can't see. It attacks the buds just before the flower opens. it eats the green outer layer of the bud exposing the pink petals and making the bud look rounded ratehr than pointed. the bush is also very scraggly looking - small redish leaves and just one long stem, not busy....

the bush is next to some hollyhocks which also look ill, suffer rust and have infestations of bugs on the buds (though i've never seen these on the rose)

I usually don't use plastic, but they had these neat frosted plastic glasses and I purchased 10 because they were neat looking and colorfull. However, after using them, they tend to develop an odor. What can I remove the odor with?

We have a water heater in our basement that has what appears to be an overflow hose attached to it that leads to a drain in the floor. This hose seems to run more than a little bit. Not constantly but I'd say at least once a day for an hour. I'm concerned that we are wasting a lot of water. I guess I'm just trying to find out if this is normal or not. and if it isn't normal if anyone has any suggestions as to how to curtail the problem without calling and ~expensive~ plumber.

Thanks,
Catherine

I'm making a stool and, for reasons I can't be bothered to go into, lightness is quite high up on my list of priorities.

Strength is not essential, but I don't want anything too flimsy as I wish to upholster it and it will need to grip upholstery tacks.

What sort of wood should I use?

white wall without ruining the wall? And is there somewhere I can get a reasonably priced sheet of clear perspex to screw on over the top of them?

Help - after heavy rainfall, a damp patch appeared on the wall of the living room with a bit of orange down the middle. Now the orange stuff has grown. I've heard this could be dangerous but landlord says just to wash it off and stick the wall paper back on (it's on both wallpaper and on wall although there is not a lot of it). What to do?

I did spray the trees with an Ortho product designed to remove mildew spots, but the spots are still there.
