I am wondering how I could go about doing this (if I even could), and what would be the best type of flower to use. Would I have to use fake flowers or what? Is this familiar to anyone?

Have tried 4 doses of Drano and still not working. Have heard of pouring 1 gallon of white vinegar combined with a box of baking soda. Any thoughts out there? Is there an alternative solution to avoid calling a costly plumber?

In your opinions what is better a sofa/hidabed or a futon? BTW is it hide-a-bed, hidabed, or hide-away-bed?

It would be for an apartment. It seems like a sofa bed is more comfortable when its in its "sofa" position, but it takes longer to get the bed ready.

It seems that with futons they are easier to fold down into a bed but sitting up on them may not be that comfortable.

I noticed today that there is a small gap between two of the pieces that have been glued together when the board was made. I love this board and it has sentimental meaning to me. I do not want to have to stop using it but I have concerns about flour getting into this little crevace and bacteria building up. Does anyone know of a product I can use to fill this gap? It cannot be taken apart and reglued so I need another idea. Thanks to all who answer.

On the (numerous) occasions I've run out of laundry detergent mid-loads and need some in a pinch, I've always been concerned about what to use or not use instead. I was considering baking soda, dishwasher detergent, hand soap, dish soap (like Dawn, etc).

Any suggestions of what does and does not work?

I recently had a landscape company out to my house to repair my sprinkler system. The owner said they could come out in 3 days to repair it as they would be in my neighborhood then for regular mowing. They used a locating device to find the valve and replaced it and it worked, the repair took about one hour. I received a bill the next day for $364.23 for the repair. $235 was to locate and replace the valve, $29.23 for the valve and $100 for the rental of the locating device to find the valve. Prior to them coming out I never asked the cost for them to come out to do the repair ( I know, my mistake). The owner said part of the $235 was owed for consulting services over the phone when we tried to diagnose the problem. She also said they rushed out to handle the repair. I find this whole bill a bit absurd. Consulting services and rental on the locator!!!! I sent a check for $179 and said I would pay no more. I live in Texas, what are my rights in this situation? Thanks.

It seems I have moles or some such critter in my yard and flower beds. I have holes and raised areas throughout my yard which have gotten steadily worse the last few years. I would like to find out what they are and how to get rid of them without poison. Do the stakes that emit sonic waves work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

how close to electric baseboard heater can I place bedding?

I have a wooden platform bed - so the wood and the bedding (sheets, blankets) are at the same height as the heater. How far from the baseboard do I need to move the bed?
