I tried it once, and it seemed like a lot of birds pushed a lot of the seed out of the feeder seeking a different kind in the mix. Probably made the chipmunks happy!

I am moving in October and would like to buy new living room furniture. Basically I would like a sofa, chair, some type of tables (but not committed to anything). ottoman and TV armoire. Because I bought all of this only a few years ago, I don't want to go overboard, but want something modern and comfortable. And of course not too expensive.

I don't want to have to go through the front door, around the back and turn on the hose everytime I want to squirt off my flowers. Is it okay if I just keep my hose turned on (as long as the pressure isn't too high) and leave the knob turned off so all i have to do is turn the knob and water my flowers? Your help is greatly appreciated!

I am moving within my current appartment complex to basically the same apartment just one that has been updated (new windows, hardwoods refinished, kitchen and bathroom). The problem is that I want the apartment to look different than the one I have now. The apartment is small, 2 beds, 1 bath, tiny kitchen and dining area. If this gives you any idea they used to be ARMY barracks. I am considering buying new living room furniture, but is there other things that I can do to make the space look different? And some ideas of how to make my 10X15 living room double as a living and dining space. I really would like to make my dining room into an office.

I have installed some CFL Lightbulbs that are advertised to last 5 years, but they have burned out in about 6 months with very moderate use. What's the deal?

I live in a row of 10 houses, and they live 2 doors away, today they have purposly parked 2 cars outside our house, when there is nothing outside theirs.
We have bought our house, and they still rent off the council, what can i do to get them to move their cars, as in the deeds, it doenst say that we own the parking space outside the house!
They have done this because i reported them to the RSPCA last week for leaving their dog in the back garden for a week while they went on holiday!
Anyway, how can i get them to park outside their own house!?

we have a pet rabbit which we put in shredded paper and hay/straw but it seems such a waste just to chuck in in the bin. obviously the waste also has rabbit droppings in it as well.
will this waste be of benefit to a compost bin.

I'm guessing I'd be using 4x4 posts.

The mobile home is around 12x70 feet.
I'd like to use the corrugated metal or plastic (preferably plastic) roofing. Better for weight and cost.

If anyone has links to plans for this or can give me detailed how to info I'd appreciate it.

I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers and as they are slowly dying off, I was wondering if I could somehow plant them in the ground, and have it grow into a plant. After all, flower seeds come from flowers, right?

I'm trying to get vines to climb a cinderblock wall, they don't want to cling. I've tried using some small strips of tape to kind of hold the vines to the wall in hopes that they would attach themselves and I try to keep the wall damp but no luck getting the vines to cling. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas as to what I can do?

Hey everyone. I'm in a bit of a color scheme quandry. My girlfriend and I currently have three of these bookcases lining one wall of our living room:

We've both always like the black finish and preferred the bookshelves to a home entertainment piece. However, we're now looking into a new couch and coffee table and we're having trouble pairing everything together.

The room will consist of the aforementioned bookshelves, a red accent chair, a sofa and the coffee table. We both really like this sofa from West Elm:

However, the coffee table they suggest with it, while stylish and simple, is a dark shade of brown we're afraid will clash with the bookshelves:
