Home & Garden - 12 August 2007

I lost the instructions to my ceiling fan. I cannot remember what position the switch should be in to cool the room instead of pushing warm air down. Yes, you would think I could feel the difference, but I can't. Is there a way of telling other than by feeling the air?

We are looking at a 717a commerical zero turn and a residential zero turn. We mow about 4 acres, slight hills, some trees to go around. How long would we expect either of these mowers to last with regular maintenance and upkeep? Would we be better off going with a lawn or garden tractor?

the aluminum on the bottom? We have already replaced the doors once. They arent that old and we would rather just clean the mold off--it gets under the rubber seal. I know chlorine bleach will kill the mold, but it also ruins the aluminum.

we are just beginning to learn about gardening. I was wondering if it really helps on the winter grocery bill by having canned all summer or not. Is it worth all the time it takes to do it compared to the amount of money saved?

This rose was introduced in the 1980's by Harkness Roses in the UK. I would like to purchase this plant from a UK grower, but the only grower seems to be in Canada (Harkness do not grow it any more). Does anyone know a UK grower still stocking the plant? Alternitively, if you purchased this plant in the past, Peter Beale's roses in Attleborough could grow a section from a cutting for me if you are willing to let a little 'wood' with buds go. If you would do this I would be eternally grateful. :0)
Thanks!

My boyfriend and his best friend just moved into a house together. I wanted to get them a house warming gift. But I didn't want to get them girly stuff, since I am a girl and usually tend to shop in a woman's mindset. I want to get them something that is manly yet decorative and homey for their bachelor pad. Have any ideas?

In my house house which is on the pittsburg marina, there are the bugs that look like flat worms with like fifty legs(that's a guess, I didn't really count). They are not centipedes or milipedes. I,m sure because the legs are longer than those. The top of them (including the top of the legs) is striped with black and like a creamish white color. The bottom is all the same creamish color. When I first saw it a few days ago it was climbing up my wall pretty fast. Today I caught one that was a little bit smaller but again was climbing up my wall. I put it in a plastic jar and it appears to not be able to climb on the smooth surface. Please tell me what these bugs are for they are creeping me out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We rent an old home. It has 4 bedrooms on the second floor, and the attic, which is finished is used as the 5th bedroom. A safety inspector told our landlord that the gas heating unit in the attic is illegal, and has to be removed. What could be used that would be cost efficient for our landlord to install, and also cost efficient for us to operate?

Previously I asked if we should be upset that our neighbors painted the side of our fence that is on our property that they look at when we were on vacation. We knew the fence needed painted and we planned to powerwash the fence to lighten. The stain they used (a dark color) would now have to be stripped off to change colors. We didn't want a dark fence and they just don't get why we are not pleased they painted our fence the color they wanted. When we talked to them, they said "At least we are not asking you to pay us back for what we spent". They used the most expensive stain there is and it will cost us over $400 to stain the fence. They just don't get it that it's our fence. My husband and I say they eat the cost of what they spent. What do you think?

I've gotten chewing-gum on my work uniform, and I really need to get rid of it soon.

I know there are about 10 methods that are supposed to work, but in the interest of speed and efficiency, can someone provide one they *know* works?
