I adore England, however, I am really wondering why there are windows only with single glazing, there must be freezing cold in ur houses in winter.

I have never washed it since i bought it and its been almost a year ( i know thats probably really bad but it is clean to me) I dont want to wash it because i really dont know how to get it done and i dont want it to be disconfigured and ruined.

so my question is:

1. should i take it to the dry cleaners and let them take care of it, and how much am i looking to dish out?

or

2. should i wash it myself at a local laundromat in one of those huge machines....but what about drying? would it take like 100 quarters to dry that thing?

thank you

For the past two weeks I have been noticing bees in my bathroom and so I made sure that everything was closed up so they couldnt get in anymore. However they keep coming and last night when I was in the shower there were more than 10 bees there! I kept killing them but more just kept coming. I guess they liked the steam or something.

I'm terrified of bees and I dont know where they are coming from. Is an exterminator expensive? Are there any good products that i can buy to get rid of them?

I had a great year for my little garden but when it started getting colder, I picked all of my big peppers that would eventually turn yellow, and put them in a window basket. They turned yellow but they are a little soft and withered by the time they do that. Is there a way to sun them so they turn the proper color but are still crisp? Same thing with my banana peppers.

I am trying to upholster a coffee table top so that it will double as an ottoman. Firstly, would it be the same whether I upholster in a leather or a fabric? And secondly, does anyone have any links to websites that would offer effective guidelines, especially for making neat corners?

Thanks

It comes in silver and gold for crafts and also black and comes on a backing and when you put it against a surface and rub it it comes off the backing and sticks to the surface. Anyone know what its called? as its impossible to ask for it without knowing its name!

I purchased a chinese money tree a few months ago and it was thriving quite well. However, my rather inquisitive cat discovered it and decided to eat the leaves. Ever since then, it just doesn't seem to look healthy. I recently transplanted it from it's generic plastic pot into a larger one with better soil. Now what? How often should I water it? How much sunlight should it get? I would really like to see this plant thrive. Thanx in advance.

Can any tell me the correct diameter to dig the holes for fence posts? - The run of fence will be 40 feet long using 6ft X 6ft panels - my concern is that the location of the fence usually gets hit quite hard when it is windy and I need it to be stable.
Any help welcome.

Not genius, I know - but is it a really terrible plan? I have so little space to line dry indoors (no drier).

When a house is being built with bricks & mortar, is the mortar only partially used to join the bricks in those sections that aren't visible from the outside?

It is apparent from the outer appearance that the mortar is used in complete style, ie totally in between each brick - above & between. However I'm told that the reality is that that is merely the 'outer' appearence. Is that the case...?

PLEASE READ BEFORE ANSWERING

OF COURSE i have take my dog to the vet (specialised dermatologist), he has been wearing a cone (elizabethan) collar for almost two months now as his feet are so aggravated from the very rough concrete in our yard.
no matter how sporty and "durable" dog boots i buy, they are just not cutting it (he is VERY active).
SO i need to do something to get rid of the rough concrete.

WE DO HAVE A LOTS OF GRASS AREA, THE CONCRETE MAINLY COVERS ~30M2 CLOSE TO THE HOUSE (WHERE HE OFTEN IS WAITING FOR ME TO COME OUT AND PLAY)

I AM A UNI STUDENT AND DONT INTEND ON LIVING HERE FOR MORE THAN A COUPLE OF YEARS.
I CANT SPEND MORE THAN A COUPLE $HUNDRED.

so far i have thought of
- painting concrete with something smooth? is this going to work on very rough concrete
- putting down large rubber mats (expensive)
- a tarp (time consuming and always need to be straightened),
- mulch/pine bark? (painful to feet perhaps perhaps?)

any other ideas/thoughts?
