Sears will send me one for $10 and I won't receive it until Monday. Is there a way to obtain this manual quicker and cheaper - maybe even free??

I have 7 window-boxes filled with perinneals. Lavender, lemon-balm, spearmint, aztec pearl verbena, toto black-eyed susan, and veronica. I know these are all flowers that spread and get "shrubby". I have two flowers planted in each 2-foot planter. I need to know how to winter them over. Do I simply cover them? Can I plant them in seperate buckets and put them in the basement? I want them to come back next year, but I have never planted perinneals in planters before. Help!

In the attic were the box is, it is secured (the box) by a skinny metal rod that runs between the studs. This house was built in 1950. Is it possible that the skinny meatl rod is strong enough to hold the fans weight, or was it meant for just the weight of a light?

I live in an apartment, can we grow sunflowers in a large pot? How tall will they get? Also, will they get bloom over and over or are the seeds a one time deal?

thanks!

My tractor starts, after about 10 minutes of cutting it loses power, then stops. I have changed oil fiter and gas filter. The oil looks clean and I used mobil gas. I do see some clear smoke coming from the front section of the motor. I am stumped.

...on trees (crape myrtle) and bushes that are currently blooming? The crape myrtle didn't bloom too well last year and is getting a late/slow start this year.

I just moved in to a new place and the water coming out of the shower head is ridiculously slow. It even fluctuates in temperature. But I'm willing to live with fluctuating temperatures. I need to fix the exertion of water though. Its way too weak!

Any ideas? Thanks!

Examples can be found at any local lumber store. Compare different types or kinds of wood mouldings - a cut piece moulding should be at least half the price. Cut -pieces are also of ridiculously small lengths of about 4", 6" sections etc. Selling us scrap pieces of wood for $s not cents. This is a total rip-off. As if selling chip board was not enough, that normally does not stand a chance against penetration of rain and moisutre unless it is impregnated with a good quality bonding agent or glue.

I'm moving and want my new house to look and feel cohesive, but I only have a vague idea about decorating and need some suggestions for books or websites that will help me identify my style so that I can express it to an interior designer or decorator.

How often should you throw them in the washing machine? We notice a "not so fresh" scent after only two uses and we do let them air dry after each use.
I use Tide unscented along w/ Downey liquid fabric softener. Any suggestions on that?
They are all the same color too, so it's hard to know which ones are cleaner than others.
It seems silly to think of washing them after every use....is that what I need to do?

Is there some grease cutting solution I can make, or a product that I should use ?
It has built up terribly, and I'd like spotless appliances again.
