I have some ants in my condo, and I don't know what they are. They are about the same size as black ants but with much bigger heads and pinchers. Thanks for your help!

i have two connected room believe it or not, the extra room is all mine, also my two fold room has always been hot enough to kill the gereactric, seriously i wonder........

it's been that way for the whole ten years i had it, though i have grown used to it for all those years of my youth oh and i live in texas (never ever much snow you know? ever!) thinking about it is allready making me sad, but anyway i am over twice as old now and my body finally can no longer take this heat!

why is my room soooo hot? what can i do about it?

all i can say is it has three windows that take in the majority of the heat the house absorbs because my rooms are in the eastern direction of the house

jezz this heat is making me sick!

I'm trying to sprout date palms from seeds, but I'm wondering if its worth the effort because I'm not sure if they could grow here in New Mexico. The climate here is dry, getting up to 100 degrees in the summer and getting as cold as 20 degrees in the winter. Can a date palm tree survive in this kind of environment?

thanks

I have purchased the pump already, I am having trouble finding a pot i like, any suggestions? but my biggest question is what to make the fountain itself out of, I was thinking styrofoam covered with cement, I want it to look as real as possible, which type of cement would work best? styrofoam? glue for stryofoam? I am trying to minimize the weight while still making it look like a real chunk of rock with a waterfall running down it. I am also on a limited budget, i want to spend no more than $50 since i already have the pump i dont think that should be a problem

Can anyone list off some toiletpaper thin products or household items that can absorb water without tearing.

Something like a really thin, not rough towel.
Buyable products are fine too.
Thanks.

I am trying to make a hidden key cupboard in a wooden wall made up of planks. I want to make the cupboard door of the same planks but figure when the door opens it will need room on one side to open. The only solution I can figure is to have hinges which extend forward when the door opens allowing the wood of the door to pass in front of the wood of the wall and overlap it as it opens. Does anyone know if such hinges exist and what they are called?

Today I washed an olive green t shirt with other dark clothes. I use Woolite dark and oxyclean stain remover and cold water. The shirt came out with orange splotches all over it - like the dye had been removed somehow. None of the other garments were affected. Is this just a cheaply made shirt, or what?

It is in fact a little bit creamy/buttery white. Do I paint my closet doors that colour too? Or should I paint my closet the same colour as my walls? The wall colour is yet to be determined neither is my new bedding (getting a whole new bed) but I love the combo of pink & brown (strawberries & chocolate). My furniture is med brown stained maple and the room gets very little light as it is a converted garage -- long & narrow with 2 small garage style windows. Any help would be much appreciated - I'm very indecisive.

We have a 4-plex that is currently served with one 75 gal water heater. Each apartment has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. I am not sure if the unit is "commercial" or "residential". About 3-4 people reside in each apt. It is old and needs replacement. Thanks.

I would really like to know how much spray it takes to kill a spider. I'm tired of using half a can per spider. I don't stop spraying untill it lies lifeless, then I squish it. So really how much does it take? I just squirted one twice and it ran away and I just want to make sure it's dead. Seriously...thank u.

My parents had a concord grape vine in Michigan when I was a child. I moved to Nebraska 6 years ago and have yet to ever find concord grapes for sale anywhere.
I want to grow my own concord grapes now. I have a towne home and want to grow them on my second story balcony. I have lots of room for it, but I don't know where to begin. Is this a feasible idea? Can concord grapes be grown in a plant box as long as they have something to climb on?

I just had a tree cut down (cottonwood if it matters) and the largest logs are around 24" diameter. I plan to use a power log splitter to split the wood but I'm wondering if I should split now or wait until next year?
