I have been trying to pick that needle for 15 minutes. I just can't hold it, can't get a grip of it and there is no magnet here.

I just need to know whether I should rip up the old flooring or if I can lay it on top of the current one. Will that produce more bubbling if I do?

Is it for help with retaining water for plants and trees or is it strictly decorative?

Sleepers will support the front /sides of the pond. Pond could be lined any way-need to be able to establish best option.Thought tanks with outlet near the top could support a hose which could then be iserted into hole made in railway sleeper and then connected to something like a water blade, which would then run into the next tank below

I have had a butterfly bush 3 or 4 years now. It looks real good until it starts to get the buds. It may have one or two blooms on it and then it starts to wilt and the center turns dark brown and the it dyes off. This has happened every year since I have had it. I have given it plant food and it gets the right kind of light but I am not sure what's going on with it. Please if you know anything about these plants give me some ideas
thanks

It seems that the files around our house cling to the side of the house and certain areas around it. Is there something I can spray on the house to prevent them from doing this? They're a nuisance.

Neighbors on two sides of my backyard have webworms in their trees. When I see them in my trees, I immediately cut the infected growth away. However, they seem to be getting worse and I am unable to reach those in the tops of my tall trees. Is there a prevention insecticide I can spray my trees with?

My bath towels always smell like mildew! I put them in the wash with a good amount of detergent. I put them in dryer with a couple of fabric softener sheets. They usually smell fine out of the washer. But they smell like mildew out of the dryer or sometimes after they have been sitting in the closet or the first time they get wet. I never had this problem at my last house and I am using the same washer. Could it be the water? Does anyone have any tips to keep this from happening?

We live in the land of water conservation (good) and low-flow shower heads (boo). A plumber actually removed a plastic gizmo inside the shower-head, but it didn't really improve the flow. Is there anything else that can be done to soup up the power? Thanks...

I heard that you shouldn't wash a downs comforter so I've never washed mine but I'm strongly thinking otherwise. I have feathers everywhere and I'm constantly wiping my bedroom furniture down and vacuuming to get rid of the layers of feathers. I think the thread count is 365 and its a King size (if that helps any).

Need help in landscaping!!!!

I was wondering if there were some really nice people out there that might like to help me design the front of my home.

When I purchased the home 5 yrs ago there were some nice bushes in front. They slowly died or at least lost all of the needles on them.

I have a big tree in front of my lawn and it dose shade the area. I don't know if that is the cause or not.

I also have some spider like weeds that keep coming back.

I wanted to plant three bushes with some type of plants that will come back each year.

I can email you pictures if you like.

I am al thumbs for things like this

South Florida is under water restrictions, so emptying and refilling it ever other day is not an option. I have a small pump and ran it for 4.5 hours yesterday but have heard that I should add bleach. I just don't know how much.

I asked this question a week or so ago and think I may have confused folks. All of these power packs state for outdoor installation only. I called Malibu technical service and all she told me was that it was the UL code.

More simply put, does anyone know of a concern if I mount and plug in my transformer in my basement, and run the low voltage wiring through a small hole to the outside for my outdoor ground lighting?

Hope that's clearer, thanks for any thoughts!
