I have a Gourd plant that is living it's life on my West Patios trellies. I wonder if I clipped some off now, would I disturb the plant from further development?

Also I have an idea to make a bird bath out of it. With cement and using the big leaves of the Gourd. Any idea how to go about? Thanks. It's a really big plant.

mine is the kitchen. however that could just be because i have a 1 year old and cleaning bottles and sippy cups is awful, because eventhough we have a dishwasher, i feel i have to hand wash them and then stick them in the dishwasher just to make sure they're clean.

I am updating a Honeywell Q674L thermostat to a Hunter 44428. The problem is the old unit had an "L" wire connection (it was a brown wire). Searching online, it seems to be the L is a systems monitoring (huh?) line, but I still don't know where to connect it. The new t-stat has R, Y1, W1, W2, G, O/B, E, A, and C terminals.

Also, the old unit had a jumper line between E and Y. Do I do that with the new one as well? And finally, the old unit had a W2 connection, but no W1 connection. Do I keep it this way on the new T-stat? Thanks!!

Is it straightforward to install a washer and dryer (front load), in a newly purchased home? or does one need professional installation.

Thanks

Like if you've ever seen Big Brother 8, the way they have trees on the wall with the door to the HOH room. Anyway, like something that can make the doors blend into the walls, and I'm looking for a beach scene.

I've out a lot of time and money into trying to have a good lawn but my neighbor has Foxtail growing and it is not popping up in my yard. Do weeds put off a seed that is blown in the wind and carried over? I ask because I am writing a newsletter for the home owners association and would like to explain to those with bad lawns how they are affecting the rest of us.

Ok, we all know that Americans tend to clean their ***hole with toilet paper. ASIANS, however, clean it up with water and soap!!

Which do you prefer? Which one is more clean????????

I have a mixer tap with a shower head coming off of it. The cold tap is supplied directly from the mains and the hot tap is fed from a cylinder boiler (which is fed from a tank in the loft).
The cold tap is very powerful but the hot very weak. This means that there is hardly any flow when using the shower head. I understand that I will need a single impeller shower pump to boost the hot tap - but which type do I need and how powerful should it be?

When watering my plants a flurry of flea sized white bugs came flying out from under the leaves? Does anybody have a clue what they are and do I need to get rid of them? (As of yet the only damage to the plant seems to be mold on some leaves do to evening rain everynight?) As they are vegetable plants, (well are supposed to be, none of my veggies plants are producing fruit yet, but thats a whole different problem, lol...) Any remidies would have to be natural. I'm open to all suggestions!

Okay . Here it goes. I have nine red beautiful cabbages growing in my veggie bed. My question to you is following. When is the right time to harvest them?

Hint: They leaves are still wide open, and the color of the cabbage is a light red.

Thanks for your help!

Just replaced the mower drive belt (cuz previous one broke) and now all of a sudden the mower doesnt want to turn over completely now. Could the belt be too tight? If it is, it's within an inch.

I've looked at all major grocery stores, also Walmart, Kmart, and Target. There are other similiar products, but I'm not sure if they will fit in the holder for the cleaner bottle. I hate to order on line, and pay shipping charges.

Any ideas?

I am about to buy a house in which the previous owner laid ceramic tyle in a laundry room. I'd like to keep the tile, but when he laid it, he didn't stop at the rear door. He kept laying all the way through the doorway and to the outside step. He didn't install a threshold with weatherstripping. He instead hung the wrong kind of door, and it has a gap that both hot air and water can get in through. I plan on installing pre-hung insulated steel doors and need to remove the tile in the doorway so I can get the pre-hung door and frame to fit. Any suggestions?

Additional info:
A branch from a neighboring tree fell on it last summer & broke a branch off. I have noticed a bunch of new limbs sprouting from the break.
Also, we did have a unusually cold spring, but I don't think we got any frost when the flowers should have been blooming.
