I live in Central West NSW (north of Dubbo) and I have just purchased a well established Avocado plant - it is a Wurtz. As our soils our quite clay based, I think it would be best to plant it in a large pot. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Also, do I need a second tree for pollination?

Thanks, Toni F

I am planning to reinstall the carpet in one room of my house.
I want to match this carpet exactly to the carpet in the hallway outside the room. Luckily, I managed to find an identical replacement carpet at a local store. This is a do-it-yourself project. I have read a lot of instructions on the Internet describing how to install a carpet but they do not describe if it is possible to match the carpet seamlessly between two different sections of the floor and what precautions I should take to do it. I will appreciate any tips on it (or a link). A very large area of my house (1750 sq ft) has identical carpet and I do not see any visible joint anywhere. So it must be possible. Appreciate your help.

we have 12 foot ceilings in our home. our living room walls are painted a color called earthy oscher. its a earthy golden/brown color...really pretty...anyway, the ceiling is tall enought, i think, to pull off painting it the color of the walls. traditionally the ceiling stays white though. i say paint the ceiling! my husband isn't convinced though. what's your opinion?

The house has mold problems the & previous owners had to move out. Now it is on the market & the price is approximately half of what it would be if it had no mold. As far as I've learned, there are no other problems such as foundation, roof, electrical or plumbing that could be considered as costly repairs. The appliances will need updating and electrical fixtures also. The bathrooms also need updating. I don't know the source of the mold and can't seem to find out. The lender now owns the property because the original owners could not keep it and do the repairs required by law. What do I do to correct the mold problem if I purchase the house & will I need bio hazard people to get involved? What will be my cost for this? I'm new at flipping with some building experience & do not want to make costly mistakes. I don't want to be discourged but helped with a solution. I was sick & could not maintain my job. Now my family & I need this job. At 54 it is extremely difficult to get a new job.
