and i have a combi boiler, after a minute or so the squeaking stops, i have tried truning the pressure down at the stopcock and it does minimise the squeaking but the pressure is so low when someone turns a tap on the low pressure light comes on and the water stops coming out of the shower.

What could this be? It has a grayish-white powder on all of the leaves that can be rubbed off. It is definitely nothing I have sprayed on or near it. Is it a fungus?

I've been looking for the "perfect" bed-in-a-bag set. I've found it. I've searched & searched & can only find it in a Full size or larger, no twins sizes :o( . I have a friend who told me it was possible to get the full sized set & have someone who knows how to sew (obviously I don't) do alterations to bring it down to actually fit a twin size. (someone else suggested I "tuck" it in, but that would be too bulky). I've never saw this done before, so I wanted to ask people who were experts when it comes to sewing & let me know if this would be possible. Thanks!

I wonder what Feng Shui experts say about succulents, are these plants feng-shui-friendly or rather not? Am all confused as on one side some succulents have round fleshy leaves which is very good according to FS, but on the other side they belong to the cacti family and cacti are known to be counterproductive. Am all confused now.

almost seems like overnight....is invaded by Yellowjackets. They are all just flying leaf to leaf, aimlessly! Over the last few days, it has gotten extrememly humid and hot here...I don't know if that has anything to do with it....It is a beautiful tree and we have really enjoyed sitting under it. How can we get rid of these what seems to be 100 to 200 yellowjackets? And why would they be there virtually overnight?

Just wondering what the advantages/disadvantages would be for each case. I work in a restaurant and can get 100's of seeds like tomatoes, pepper, eggplant, etc.. for free every day. I want to plant some at home to start my vegetable garden, will they work ok? Or will pre-packaged seeds grow better due to some coating or treatments?

So I just bought this house and the plan is to fix it up and then put it up for rent. Well it's really a good size house 3-4 bedrooms, bath, kitchen, dining room, living room, another 2 small rooms I guess was entertaining room with fireplace also and then this tiny little room by the kitchen. We are painting it and leveling it among other things.....So my parents are wanting to do a lot of it themselves....and they are in an argument about painting the house...should they do it now or after they level the house. One says if they paint, once they level, the paint will crack and they'll have to paint again...Well I know nothing about it I would think they should level the house first of all before ANYTHING but that's just me. So any construction worker out there or someone who knows more than me obviously can you lend a helping hand.

Are there any home bug spray that don't have that really strong chemical scent? I'm looking for one that kills ants, roaches, sliverfish, centipedes & all those other nasty bug that can get in my house. I remember my freshmen year in college I had an ant problem in my dorm that the school would do anything about. Ants were getting in my bed, so I took matter into my own hands by spraying Raid all over the room. Even though I opened the window my roommate complained the smell was making her sick. I finished college so I don't stay in the dorms anymore, but I wanted to know if there is an unscented spray I can use in my house so my family won't complain.

I went into the bathroom and the tub was filling up with brown water bubbling up through the drain. It's still filling up.

The sink next to it is not clogged and it doesn't have water in it.

But the toilet fills up with water when you flush it, but it won't complete a flush. I tied plunging but I don't even think it's a clog.

HELP!!!!!!!
