Living in Az towards the end of the day the sun beats down on my office, combine that with the space heater I call a pc and the fact that the room is the furthest from the ac unit and I am flat out boiling.

Suggestions?

I don't know what kind of roses they are, but there are only 2 layers of petals. They have been unbelievably healthy until last week. I noticed there were white stuff on the leaves and then they would turn yellow and brown then die and fall off. The top of the bushes are great, the new growth has just turned green but the bottoms are bare. I've picked up as much of the leaves as I could (mulch is around them) and started spraying them with a fungicide. No more white but the leaves are still turning brown and yellow and dieing. Am I doing the right things? Is there anything else I should do? If it helps at all I live in Florida. The sprinklers are set for 7am only every other day. Also some of the buds are really small and then die fast, right after blooming.

I am thinking of buying another house and the washer and dryer are in the basement. I would like to put these appliances on the second floor in my bedroom. I have plenty of room in my bedroom to place it. There is a bathroom next to this bedroom so I am wondering about how much it would cost me to do this. Thanks in advance for your answers

At the garden center the blooms were big and beautiful, that's why I bought them for their color and scent. Now they are small, some are nearly colorless. I planted them the proper way etc. I have Mister Lincoln, Voodoo, Black Magic, First Prize, Oklahoma and Tropicana. Please advise what to do. I have rubber mulch on top of the soil and wood mulch around the base of the bushes. I water every other day because it's so hot where I live. Almost 100 degrees daily. I don't know if it's my soil or what. I have the bushes against the house, my neighbors have theirs the same place and my other neighbor has hers in her front lawn along the edges --- all their roses are huge, colorful and beautiful. Mine are puny, tiny, colorless -- I'm embarrassed. They probably laugh at me. Sniff ...Sniff. All I wanted were beautiful roses just like them.

We have mostly weeds, and want to plant a lot of grass seeds, to try to crowd out the weeds. We probably need to dethatch, aerate, etc., then plant the seeds, then water frequently till the seeds sprout, and probably mow frequently to keep the weeds from growing back. We have a mower but nothing to dethatch or aerate or anything. We've heard of a power rake but don't know where to rent one or how to use it. Or what other tools should we rent or buy, and where we should get them?

It is due to the leakage from my bathroom. I know the first thing is to repair the leak and then brush off the fungus. But how to make sure that it will not grow again? Are there any fungicides available for this purpose?

I would like to know if I can treat a tree to keep it from producing fruit.
It either stops bearing fruit or I cut it down....but I want the shade.

My sliding door has vertical blinds, but the problem is that there is a gap between the sides. So, on one side people can see inside my kitchen (especially at night). It's really annoying, and I was wondering if there is a way to put some panel there to block people from seeing inside my apartment.

Last night I was gathering squash blossoms to try frying for the first time and some were vibrating and I had no idea why. After they were fried & we began eating them, my husband opened one and there had been a bee inside (poor little bee)! Has this happened to anyone else?

I purchased a fisher paykel refrigerator and it does not cool properly. It goes all the way to 50 degrees at times. I have set the temperature to the coldest setting and makes no difference. The dealer brought me another one and it is the same thing. Does anyone have consumer complaints or reports on this refrigerator?
