İ bought it from a supermarket just because it looks like the aloe vera plant. Actually i thought it was an aloe vera.
İ don't know anything about this Echeveria. The weather is cold here and i don't know if it's going to live or not under these conditions. Please help me.

İ have searched for myself but it has lots of species. İ don't know which one this is. İt has sharp and narrow leaves. İt looks like a waterlily plant without the flower. But, it doesn't have buds or thorns like the Aloe vera plant. İ don't know.

You see, we just put down new title in our bathroom. And when we put the toilet back in its place, after a week it began to leak at the base. So we thought it was the toilet ring. So, we replaced the ring with a bigger one. And it was fine, no leak or smell. But now, a few months later, the smells coming back and we believe its starting to leak again. Any ideas?

I have this house plant ( http://www.get-digital.ca/images/IMG_7709.JPG ) that has been outdoors all summer and I want to trim it down so it can be put inside.

First of all, what type of plant is it? Secondly, how do I trim it so that it will be more bushy and fall over the side of the pot less. As you can see from the pic it has 3-4 main vines that are hanging down and I would rather the plant be gwoing within the pot instead of falling over the side.

Scenario: I have never had to do this before, so I don't know much.

Problem: mower deck will not drop down, belt seems loose

Mowing semi wet grass, about 8 inches tall. thick.
Mower stops and then I crank it back up qnd the deck will not drop down.


I know what I did was terribly stupid but, can I try to tighten a pulley or something and see if that is the problem?

Hi everyone, I know I can look this up for myself, but I rarely ask a question so I thought this is the perfect opportunity. I'm planning a garden bed of only black and orange flowers to represent my Alma Mater's colors. So, if you would be kind enough to name all the black and orange flowers or plants that you can think of it will give me a head start for next season. Thanks so much.

Sometimes when I flush my toilet, the water goes down normally like it should. Other times I may have to flush it 2 or 3 times to get it to flush completely... the water spins around... looks like its going to go down... and then it just sort of dies before it does a complete flush. Its almost like its clogged, but then... all it takes is a second or third flush (so I don't think its a clog)

I started remodelling the interior of my house and I really need your advice ! I bought some new furniture and I don't know how to paint the walls of the room in order to match that color with the color of the furniture. The sofa and the armchairs I bought are brown, with white and black stripes... and the rest of the furniture is also a dark brown natural wood color. The only think that is a light color of wood is the floor... So, I was wondering... What color can I use to paint the walls to make all the colors match ?

Oh, and one more question... what colors should the curtains be ?
