Not screw caps, they are like little white caps that you push into the whole when you don't use that particular level for a shelf. Any idea where I can get some beige ones?

I bought a plant for my garden but lost the stick that tells the type of plant it is. So I need to ID it so I can safely winterize it. It has broad deep redish purple leaves, and blooms small pink/purple flowers that don't last long but leave little purple bumpy balls behind, at the base of the bloom. It grows quite tall, and reminds me of a rubber tree plant in nature.... I have searched the net, but that's near impossible... any help or suggestions? It's too beautiful and hearty to lose!!! I am on the Canadian West Coast if that helps with the type of plant I can purchase.

I have heard they work well for continous water, but they "break down" often and need service. Also, if water temp in cold weather is REALLY cold going in, does it still come out just as hot?

My son left the mower outside and yes, it rained. When I went to start it up, it almost started but after it kept turning (for just a few short seconds), I turned the key off and tried it again. Nothing. Not a thing. I pulled the mower back, waited a few minutes and tried again. Same thing. After waiting a while longer - nothing at all is happening. I unplugged wires and plugged them back and I cleaned the air filter. I have no clue where the spark plug(s) is located. What could be wrong? Someone suggested that I jump start it but can I do that with a '00 Jeep Grand Cherokee and a mower battery? How do I do that? Thanks SO much for all your help! You all are great!!!

Our upstairs neighbors had another water leak this morning. I awoke to the smoke alarm chirping and my ceiling, doorframes and carpet soaked. They are fixing the leak upstairs right now, but the alarm chirping is driving me nuts. I am afraid to disconnect it, because water/electricity is a dangerous mix and I don't know which circuit it is on.
The last time this happen, the smoke alarm didn't get soaked, so I didn't worry about it. But now, I am a little worried that it might short circuit and cause a fire.
Do I have a right to be concerned? If so, I will go tell maintenance to replace it right now. Or should I just let it air out and check for corrosion once everything is dry.
Thanks!

So many people want their gardens so perfect, everything in line, and every living thing besides the plants that were planted there dead. My garden is completely the opposite. My garden is beautiful and vibrant, and a habitat for several living creatures. I have 6 Dyanthis, 3 Cana Lilies, Carrots, Tomatoes, Radishes, Queen Anne's Lace, Morning Glories, Some sort of purple flower, peas, beans, Sunflowers, and even a single Corn Stalk! Some of those things were planted last spring, but many of them-like the tomatoes, Queen Anne's Lace, and the plant with purple flowers just decided to live there. It's one of my greatest joys, and I can't understand why people slave every day so that their gardens are absolutely perfect. Plants weren't made to be perfect. They were made to be unique. Gardens aren't only for humans to enjoy. Why can't many people understand that?

I know this question depends very much on specifics but can anyone help me with some rough estimates? I can find out the price of windows from a store but how hard are they to install? can I do it myself? what other costs are involved? Does anyone have window recommendations? We would be looking to improve the insulation and also block out some noise
.Many thanks

I have seen a product advertised that attaches to the house in a similar manner to eavestoughs but instead of funneling all of the collected water to a down spout it allows the water to run off the roof, hit several louver type strips which bounce the water over the lawn.
This ensures there is little or no erosion due to water dropping in the same area constantly.

I am looking at purchasing one of two houses, one with a garage and one without. I like the house better without the garage and can get it for cheaper so I am wondering if I could build a garage. There is back alley access and a detatched garage would suit us fine. Including labour and concrete floor etc what is the general cost of building a basic garage?

I'm pretty sure it has to do with the air intake because when I take the air filter out, it starts and runs fine. It's a Briggs and Stratton engine - 6.0 HP. Help! My grass is growing faster by the second and it's fixin' to rain! Thanks!

It must dry solid and not stay tacky... and the not changing color in UV light would be a bonus!! A hot glue gun option is a thought... but it turns opaque after drying. No good!!! Please help me if you can!! Thanks!!

This is for an average to little bit larger than avg. size lawn. The lawn has an exsisting system that is not working. The valves have been exposed for years and some of the pipes have worked up to the top of the soil and are cracked or were chewed on by dogs.

So, our realtor and inspector said it would probably be easier to just replace the whole system. Someone told me $11,000 but others have said that was outrageous. Any idea?

Much thanks!
