About 2 weeks ago I saw a deep blue spiderweb, has anyone ever seen this? What type of spider is this, I've looked online and found nothing. The top of the web was normal as was the bottom, but in between was a blue orb like web. I've never seen anything like it, I though it was just the sunlight hitting it in a certain way, but I looked at it from all angles and it trully was blue on just the orb.

It is a black apron that has like a plastic / leather look to it and i was hoping i could repair it with some kind of paint. It apears it may be made out of Polyurethane. It rubs off after time and i keep having to get new aprons. But now they jacked up the price of the aprons and where i work won't give me free ones anymore and i don't want to keep buying new ones myself. Would a Polyurethane paint actually work or is it not the same kind of Polyurethane? Or maybe a Fabric Paint? Theres seems to be so many types of paint and this seems to be an odd material.

Heres a link to it.

I need to put a new covering of plastic down to cover a small (<150 sq. ft) crawl space. The home is in Massachusetts.

What thickness should I use? I was thinking 6 mm.

Well summer is over in chicago and as the growing season draws to a close i am wondering if there is anything i should do to preserve my new strawberry patch i planted this year.
They have spread well and i am hoping to have a good harvest next year from my everbearers.
So is there anything special i need to do to ensure their survival this winter? Mulch maybe?

I've had my bonsai plant/tree in same pot over a year now, and think I may need to transplant it to a larger pot. But I'm afraid I may disturb or damage roots, if and when I do.

It's well established now both that global warming is a very real international crisis akin to the threat of nuclear holocaust in its end result, and the threat is increasing with every day, and every plane taken by every traveller, and every car taken down the road. .. and every golf course that uses water that spreads fertilizer and pesticide around the near countryside, when the land could be returned to native trees for more oxygen for us all, and for birds to in turn help promote growth of more trees elsewhere.

People travel across the world just to see 'beautiful nature' and go hiking amongst the trees in New Zealand - more than the number of people who go there to play golf - so for local tourist opportunities in other countries too, it makes sense to plant more trees, and reduce, reuse and recycle old golf courses.

Save the world! Reclaim your local golf course for nature, the birds, the trees, and oxygen for you and your grandchildren to breath, now!

I live in a duplex which is heated by propane. He then figures out how many gallons all tenants uses and then divides it in half and gives us the bill. I feel this is wrong but I cannot find the law on it. Also he cannot verify how many gallons we use. I do not heat my house over 65 and I know the other tenant kept hers at 80.

So does anyone know my rights about this? What can I do to pay for my fair share only?

We have had heavy rain lately and the community pools have developed a large muddy spot like a swamp! It is where people have to walk through all the time and people are slipping over. We have to use this walk way and putting stuff over it stops the grass coming back.

I just removed some foam toddler bumpers from our wooden table and the double-sided foam tape is stuck to the wood. We tried to peel off the tape but the adhesive is still stuck there and sometimes the foam part rips off. What's the best way to get it all off without destroying the wood or varnish?

(this was a dumb mistake in the first place, I know...)

I have heard you can burn them out but open fires are not permitted. Would a hammer drill be able to drill into granite? I was thinking if you could drill holes in them you could pour in water and hope the freezing action over the winter would do the trick. I know there is a product that expands in drilled holes and breaks up concrete but that wold be very expensive for the job I have to do. All suggestions are appreciated.

I've just finished tiling a backsplash in my kitchen. All went well. However, the instructions for the grout says "periodically mist with water during next 3 days", (in order to aid in the curing process). How often is "periodically"? Too often and the grout will not cure properly as it will be too wet. Not often enough and it could dry out too much, resorting to a sand-like consistency.

Once again, how often is "periodically"?

We want to get a very special gift for Mom's caregiver, and she had mentioned in passing an old-timey rose bush called "peach rose". She described the flowers as pink (not peach colored as I would have thought), and miniature, in small clusters. She said you don't see it too much anymore, but it might help me locate it if I knew more about it. Her description was a little sketchy.
Does anyone out there know what she's talking about - and even better, where I could find it? Thanks for any help you can give!
