Any other plants with Pyrethrin as well?

Thanks!

I am replacing a ceiling fan. After removing the old, I realised the live and neutral wires coming from the ceiling are both red. Is there a way to distinguish. There are no markings on the wires at all.

I am remodeling my bathroom and the house is on a slab. The room is stripped to the stud walls right now and I have installed drains. Which right now are roughed in, as such the drain pipe for the shower I want to put in is 2 inch and still has a rough cut opening around it. I am looking for the most economical way to have a functional shower floor (pan). Walls and ceiling I pretty much have figured out but it's the floor! Can I use the existing concrete florr possibly adding more concrete to get my 1/4" taper per foot? Paint and seal it? I need some ideas. Thanks.

I'm adding duct work in my house, and I've been told that I can just run the ducts up the walls and into the bedrooms on the second floor. The walls are load bearing and I was told I could just cut through the top plate and brace it.

Is this possible? If so how do I brace a top plate? Should I use oval ducts in walls?

I need to cut a 1ft x 1ft square hole out from a 1/2 inch thick MDF board. I've used a hand held jig saw and it works pretty well but I was wondering if the Rotozip can do it any faster in comparison since it uses a rotating cutting bit instead of a straight blade. Also, which cuts cleaner? The jigsaw always leaves strands. Thanks guys.

If I insulate all my windows with the styrofoam type insulation plus plastic over this along with heavy blankets, throw rugs on all floors, heat tape outside on pipes and in working order, water left trickling indoors, and plenty of warm blankets to use will my home remain warm to get through the winter. I live in lower part of Michigan (Macomb County) in a small older model type mobile home. I have heat tape outside on my pipes and I can eliminate any drafts by insulating all drafts from any windows as mentioned above. I have tried asking this question or similar a number of times and have yet to get any answers other than kerosene heaters (which i am against as they can cause fires, or space heaters which I hear can run the electric bill sky high) I am trying very hard to get someone to please come and look at my furnace which isnt working but so far no luck so I want to prepare myself in the meantime. Government assistance wont help because according to them I do not qualify.
