I'm remodeling our bathroom. We are going to attempt at tiling the entire shower, pan included. It was an existing shower, and since its in the basement, there is just sloped cement for the bottom of it. Can't I just directly tile to the shower floor?

I have a pecan tree that I, personally, planted in 1971 when this house belonged to my father. Last year I had a phenomenal harvest from this 50+ foot tree. This year we got NO pecans, and looking at the neighbors' trees they aren't faring any better. Is this a regional thing (Lubbock, Texas) or is this a nation-wide thing?

I'm ashamed that I got tired of gathering the amazing amount of pecans last year, because now I would be Praising the Father for even a small amount of that yield.

Hi,

I am buying a rhizome for a Heliconia Rostrata and Helicona Wagneriana to grow in my house. I heard that these suckers can grow up to 8-9 feet hight! My ceilings though are only about 8 feet high ( I think). Is there a way to control the growth so it only grows as high as I want it to?

The other day, I caught the guy next door brushing the snow off his car into my driveway. Our driveways are next to each other. I told him not to do that, but he totally ignored me. I shoveled my own driveway, then I left for work. When I came home it looked like not only did he just dump the snow from his cars in my yard, but also blew the snow there from his blower into where I had shoveled. If this wasn't bad enough, the apartment house across the street looked (if I can read tire tracks and scrape marks) like their snow removal service plowed the snow from their parking lot over onto my property. I'm a middle-aged woman alone and they know that. What can I do about these people without coming off at too bitchy?
