I like the poinsettia but they don't seem to last long.

Cheers

My new (8 weeks old) Zanussi 1400 washing machine is broken.

Symptoms:-

When i turn it on it sounds like it is continually trying to "pump out". It makes no difference which cycle I put it on.

No numbers light up on the display.

Any ideas?

Thanks

The walls in my home are pre-fab and have small strips every few feet (where the walls are pieced together). I want to paint over the "wallpaper" but unsure how to start. What will cover the paper and hold up nicely?

all is based on work conducted monthly, inspections , work being conducted and the fact that they use chemicals as a last resort. which means we check on your home so you don't . what do you think ?

I was given an orange pigface about three or four months ago. It is in a pot and had three flowers on it.

Ever since I've had it, it hasn't flowered since.

It gets full sun.

What do I have to do to get a flower?

a friend had a rooster wander into her yard and stay for days. she started feeding him, and now he won't leave.
she likes him, but the cold and snow can't be good for him. she can't take him indoors and she's worried that he'll freeze outside. she doesn't think she can build a decent cage on short notice in this weather.

if you have raised chickens (the fewer the better), any advice you have would be helpful, until we can get him to an animal sanctuary. thank you!

Of-course cutting a tree is a very habit but once it is distrubing others and damaging building it is supposed to be removed.

My cozy apartment is nice, but needs more book-shelving. I'm wondering about head-level shelves that I just fix onto wall studs? I'm marginally handy; is this project easy? Cheap?
