Just planted two month ago about lily. One in the front garden bed and one in the Bird area. How fast do they re produce? What do I need to do for over winterizing.

What is the stuff that seals the bathtub... it is kind of rubbery to the touch and goes between the wall and the tub... what is it? I'm asking because a lot of it around my tub has pealed off and I'd like to replace it, but I dont know what its called.

Troy built, zero radius, Kohler 22 hp engine used to cut about 3 acres of lawn regularly. Would another brand be better than this? Any ideas or recommendations?

I just moved into a new house that I'm renting... well, the fireplace has old ash and burned wood in it (I have no idea how long its been in there)... I dont want to use my vaccuum, so whats the easiest way to get all that garb out? most of it isnt solid so it can just be picked up.

I have had to renew several fuel lines, and now have a non working (old) mower. Is it possibly due to using ethanol containing gasoline?

I'm going to be installing a vent fan this afternoon and will have to make a short electrical run to power it. Since it is a vent fan, it is obviously going in an exterior wall (2x4 studs, insulation, and vapor barrier).
My first instinct is that the wire should run through the 2x4s (obviously) and on the interior side of the vapor barrier. Am I right or am I missing something?

My 3 yr old son found a "Super permanent marker" in my room (I have no idea where the marker even came from). He scribbled all over my carpet with it in two places. Along with himself, the wall, the dresser and my sheets. How do I get it out of the carpet?? My lease at this apt is up real soon and I don't want to have to forfeit my deposit :( HELP!

Its about as big as a large grapefruit. Will the wasps just go away, so I can knock out the nest this fall or how should I get rid of this nest? It looks like a giant glob of beige colored stuff with holes all over it. If I open the door, they will attac me I suppose. How do I deal with this?

I have no problem cuting for windows and doors, etc... but when it comes to cutting corners on the ceiling - I just cant figure it out. What am I doing wrong?

What should be done differently for a floor or ceiling than a window or door?

I am going to burn wood this year, and I am looking for a free standing wood stove than can heat up to and beyond 3000 sqft! I know they have them, and have looked at a few, but does anybody currently have one, and what is the brand and name, and how does it work?

thanks!

when there was construction on my street, they had to turn off the water connection. ever since then, i lost pressure for my 2nd floor and basement. there seems to be very high pressure for the first floor and basement. also, my hot water is very very hot (and the water tank temp knob is fine at the warm temp) and it's taking a lot of cold water, almost turned on all the way and the hot water on just a little tweak open. what's wrong here?!?!?!

I have tried J.B. stik and it leaks after about 36 hours. The crack is all the way through and is about 4 inches long. It sits at the very bottom of the tank so it has to withhold all of the pressure. Sears wants $51 for a new tank, just can't see spending that on a piece of plastic.
