There is a relitivley small tree limb that has fallen outside on a power line and is just suspended in the air on the line. It's not touching the ground. What is the best way to get it off there without getting shocked? I've been shocked pretty bad before and not looking foreward to getting fried again if you know what I mean. Any suggestions?

I just moved into my new place and I have all white walls. I have an espresso colored bedroom set and a white rug just like in the picture I'm putting up here, but I have a sage green duvet cover which is a little lighter than the picture. What color should I go with on my walls that is complimentary without being too neutral?

Anything else I can do besides sanding down the bottom of the door? Cause Im just not willing to do that. lol.

We are going to build a new home on acreage in the county surrounded by farmland and views of mountains.. I can't decide over a 2000 sq. ft. chestnut stained cedar log home or 2000sq. ft. two story reproduction farmhouse colonial. I love them both so much.

Is it better to use two rags? One to dust with first and then the other to apply the furniture polish? ...or is it better to just spray the polish on the dust and wipe it with one rag?

Hi, I live in a suburban home without much backyard space. Since my dad has a severe allergy to the petroleum fumes from our furnace, we depend on burning wood in the fireplace during the winter. The wood is seasoned, but due to a mishap, absorbed a huge amount of condensation and is very damp. Because this happened over the course of at least a month, its a good bet the wood is soaked all the way through. Winter air in Portland, Ore. is generally pretty humid. Does anyone have a surefire indoor method for drying the wood in 2 wks. to a month. Doesn't have to be bone dry just to a point where it is usable.

I have currently grown two orange/tangerine seeds in a 6" pot into small sprouts about 2", but it's been about 2 months and they have basically stopped growing (but they are still alive and look healthy.) What can I do to get them more light and warmth even though it's winter? Will regular lights work as well as sunlight for photosynthesis or is it the wrong wavelength? I don't want to buy any specialized lamps or bulbs for them.

What should I do to keep them warm? Will keeping them in an airtight container help keep heat in? Should I blow in it to add moisture and CO2?

I am also planning on growing a mango pit that I got out of a mango from the grocery store, but I think I will wait for spring. Any tips for that too?

Mainly I just want to know if it's possible to have warm-climate plants thrive in a house at 20 degrees C, or should I basically just rip them out and wait until spring?

When the oranges came up they had 2 shoots and I cut one off... is that y they stop growin

Hey, I have an electric water boiler (Zojirushi brand) and after some time the inside of the container is filled with this thin layer of minerals. I suspect it's because of hard water but anyways, how do I get rid of it? I've tried scrubbing it off but it doesn't work.

thanks (:

In my school there is an outdoor student lounge that is all cement, and we are trying to green the school. What kind of plants can we grow in either pots or plant boxes that are green all year, and do not require a lot of water (watering more than once a week).
The school is in Los Angeles, CA, if that makes a difference.

1970's. What color and texture were those walls? What I am looking at is a silver metal that is textured. Something is eating holes in it. From my research on Termites, they don't eat metal or the like. What could be doing this damage?

God's Speed and Grace,
Nancy
