then do you sit or lie on the floor?
if you do wouldn't that be unhygienic?

Does anyone know the name of the plant that looks very similar to a Poinsettia but the blooms are much smaller? It almost looks like the plant but with mini flowers on it.

can an internal fire door be installed as a sliding door ie into a stud wall. I am trying to get into my roof but am limited to stair design. This leaves me with the door fitting to the shape of the roof and opening inwards giving just enough height for Regs but anyone taller needs to stoop to get in

it is something that you recline on, not a sofa, but normally sits in a corner of a room, more of a decoration rather than a practical use.

My bedroom set is whitewash in color...like a very light tan, but whitewashed. Unfortunately my walls are a very light brown. To make matters worse I have a tiled floor and the tiles are almost the same color as the furniture. I have to contrast anywhere and the room is VERY boring. I have no idea what wall color would go well with the furniture. Can you please help me?

My wife unplugged something from an outlet the other day and right then all of the outlets in that room stopped working. I turned the breaker off/on multiple times, looking into the outlet to see if anything is loose, but nothing obvious worked. Part of the circuit seems to be working, and it's currently in the 'on' position. I wonder how much an electrician would cost me.

A plumbing and heating repairman was here yesterday because one of the zones in my home was not heating. He drained water from the gas fired boiler and replaced the circulator and the heat works fine now.

At the same time, he also adjusted the pressure relief valve.

After he left, I noticed water leaking from somewhere underneath the boiler (can't pinpoint from exactly from where). I now have a consistent slow flow of water coming from the boiler; enough to have to mop every couple of hours.

I am the original owner; the house is 10 years old. In the 10 years that I have lived here, I have never had 1 drop of water leak from the gas boiler until now.

Could the repairman have adjusted something incorrectly? What could be the cause?

I think I remember someone saying 10 feet apart for this tree. How quickly and nicely will this form a tall screen?

Also, any other trees that would work good for this, which are evergreen?

Thanks for your answers!

ok..ok.. i know they are signs that some one was creative and that a lower level is pretty easy to slither into and possibly LIVE IN!!! ugh! but that snake skin looked pretty new sittin pretty under the bar counter in the basement but in the open wall section of under it near the electrical wires. The downstairds( the basement) has a toilet room.. that is all it is.. there is no sink .. just a toilet.. lol.. and on the door someone drew a real creepy eye-symbol-thingy that reminded of some damn voodoo stuff.lol.. i looked on line and couldn't find it.. but it has swirls inside the eye.. and i know i will either paint over it or tear the damn door off..lol.. maybe just child's play... but the landlord said last person to stay there was a lone Marine. I get this real creepy feeling when i walk into the house. But geographically it works for me and him, and the schools are nearby, so great for the kids. Any ideas on how to snakeproof a basement? are there poisonous snakes in the VA area?

does that mean your roof is a rubber roof or a tar roof? I can't imagine that it is tar. Please help me figure this out.
