I split the original plant last spring by simply cutting it in half and repotting into new soil/compost. The two plants are both healthy and continually send out new leaves, but neither has flowered this year. What can I do to help them flower?

I've broken a ceramic toothbrush holder (cup with holes on top for toothbrushes) and an oblong piece about 4" by 2" has been flushed down the toilet.

The toilet now flushes slowly and plunging it is very hard to do, only clearing the clog for a small while.

I live in the bottom flat of a rental house with clogs being my fault.

I am putting some wood floors in my new home and was wondering about maintenance and how people like them who have it in their own homes.

We have buff-colored carpeting in our bedroom which is only 5 years old. It is really too light for my taste. It shows dirt too much and stains easily. I have a steam cleaner and clean it frequently, but it never really brightens up, so I thought of somehow dyeing it. Does anyone know how to do this or even if you can? Thanks in advance for any creative answers.

We need to rip out and replace our master bathroom cabinets (dual sink). They are water damaged and have no drawers. We don't want anything fancy, just simple cabinets with drawers, under sink storage and a simple countertop. The space isn't that large, 21 1/8 deep and 37 5/8 long. Approximately how much would this cost? Is Home Depot a good place to go to buy the cabinets and have them installed? I don't want to get ripped off but this is our first attempt at remodeling so we are a bit clueless. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Its just a question, im not judging anyone here. At night when i put out my garbage bags (they are in my garbage bins) i notice in the AM that someones been sifting through my garbage and all the cans are missing. Do you really make big $ off of doing this? I really dont mind but at least put the bags back in my garbage can and dont leave me the mess to clean up! Agree???

I have a small kitchen with cabinets from the mid 80's they are a dark oak color and you can feel the grain in them, the were partial painted with killz. I have 13 doors 4 of them small, 6 drawers and 2 fake drawers with no handles and do not open. i also have 1 lazy susan on the corner that rotates open, doesn't side.

I have heard there is a great range in pricing and it is easy to get ripped off and pay way too much.

I also need to cut corners and save money, like buy my own pulls, hinges, and doors if I could even match up the color.

I hear people can do it themselves, and apply the facing but this might be too hard. Is the a website that can explain this process as well?
