Home & Garden - 15 August 2007

I've been using a wetjet for like 3 years but need to go over it with some kind of mop and bucket system-cheap and fast. I've heard of the libman wondermop but don't know where to get it. I like that you can machine wash the head. But does this swish the dirt around? Does it get into the corners ok? Is it expensive- where do they sell it? Is there something similar/cheaper? If I use diluted bleach will it discolor my linoleum?

Thank for your help!

I was using my riding lawn mower and all a sudden a heard a loud crack! like I ran over a rock or something. I checked under my lawn mower *it was off don't worry* and the blade on the left side was gone. I know this for sure because it won't mow right on the left. The blade must have fallen off and hit the other blade cause it made one hell of a rattle. What should i do now. How much should damages like this cost? Help any one?

I'm painting the walls, and i've decided to do white and deep red, but if anybody knows any other colors that go well with a deep red, that would be great!

We put crown molding up and the person who did it used silicone caulk on the edges and joints. I need a paint which will adhere as a base primer so we can paint the trim the color we want.

Ok here is the deal, Japanses beetles keep eating my morning glory leaves, and the leaves are huge, they cover up most of my flowers. I was wondering what would happen if I cut the leaves off, or just the biggest ones, would it look better, or akeward? And would it be ok for the plant??? Star me so others can see please!!

I'm looking to purchase a 36v Hammer Drill, but I can't decide on whether to make it a DeWalt or a Bosch.

Which is better?

I planted a row of 10 Canadian Hemlocks (Tsuga Canadensis) this past late April. I am in Tennessee where the temperatures have been records this past week getting up to 106 degrees today. I have been holding the hose over around the bottom of each full flow for 120 seconds each every other day. This afternoon they really started to look faded and some of the needles on the outside were brown, but not many. they , to me , look like they were thirsty, but i also know it maybe the opposite in fact , since they were planted in clay soil but i did mix nice topsoil and peatmoss with it, but they still have they clay at the very bottom. The faded needles are on the outside only , inside they are still very green.

Just what is your opinion?

Lack of water or beginnings of root rot?

would the fading begin on the inside if it was the making of root rot?

Also , forgot to add that we have had this extreme heat for over a week, been dry

why?

Thanks very much for your answer!

It is black on both ends with a yellow mid-section and has a black spot in the center of the yellow part. It looks kind of soft/spiky but I'm not touching it to find out what it feels like! They are all over our deck in the backyard.

I recently looked at buying a home a little bit outside of town. Homes in this area are out of the service area of our natural gas provider, so the homes have a 1,000 gallon propane tank buried in the yard. The propane tank gets topped up monthly as part of a service. My question is.... Is propane for home hot water and heating (and cooking) much more expensive.... roughly about the same.....or much less expensive...than natural gas. I am unfamiliar with propane used this way; should I be concerned?

Trying to weigh my options, acting or not acting on the impulse to try. Only problem is its union so I'd have to pay dues and work my way up. But thats also the bright side. The other bad side is weather, but do any carpenters around have any opinions on the matter?

My husband and I are staying with my in-laws and their house is just downright infested with roaches. I never had this problem before, because I am not dirty and disgusting and when we leave here, I really don't want to take them with us. I have tried Boric Acid, Boric Acid mixed with food and peanut butter and jelly and all kinds of stuff, I have tried roach spray, bombing and they can't afford to hire an exterminator. Right now, we have sticky roach paper down. I have tried spraying alcohol around and nothing seems to be working. It is so disgusting and I really want nothing more than to get rid of them. Can someone please help?
