Home & Garden - 9 November 2007

We transplanted a small Japanese Maple tree about two weeks ago, and the leaves are all turning. It just looks really traumatized. Should I prune it back, so that it doesn't have to work so hard to recover, or will this cause it more trauma?

Planted one last Christmas for the first time and just left it on the windowsill all year. Noticed that a tiny green shoot was growing last week so watered it a bit and now it's grown to about 4 inches!
Is it going to flower though, my Mum says sometimes they only flower once.

The wording on the coverage letter is unclear. It says the following under central heating:

Covered: hydronic heating units (steam/hot water); forced air heating units; heat pumps; blower fain motors; heat exchangers; internal system controls; wall thermostats...

Not covered: Fireplaces; gas log systems, including gas feed lines; structural compnents, panels, and/or cabinetry...cleaning and/or maintenance...

I know I could call the company, but I wanted to see if I could get a timely repsonse on here instead. Warranty is with HMS.

She has white canvas shoes (like Keds) that are getting pretty dirty. I've heard I can wash them in the washing machine - is there anything special I need to do?

They always come about November. My mother in law gets them bad, they line the window seals, the light fixtures, they fall in your drink, pop you in the head. It's like a bad movie. The exterminator said they can't spray, because they are endangered.

I have tried cleaning the filters and I have put my clothes through an extra spin cycle just in case. However, every time I dry something I have to drain the hose after one cycle, and it takes multiple cycles to completely dry my clothes!

I had to replace my washer and the new drain hose is larger than the 1" drain hole pipe. It is made of flexible plastic, so a hose clamp won't work on it. Any suggestions?

I called to get a piece of glass cut for a friend's window for his door that was cracked. The hardware company told me by law they are not allowed to sell glass for a door. Can someone tell me the reason behind this? Thanks for the replies.

I'm getting my dining room painted and the guy is charging $100 to fix a bad drywall job and $125.00 to paint the room. This does not include supplies. He says he will buy them and they should run between $70-$90. Should I buy the paint myself ? Also do you guys think the price is fine?

I live in an old apartment made in the '50's. My bathtub is relatively new, but every time i shower the water fills up to my leg and doesnt drain. This is so annoying. The landlord has sent people to try to fix it numerous times only for it to reoccur again and again. Any solutions?
