I am about to move into an apartment building. It has about 25 floors. I was wondering, do plumbing problems become more of an issue the higher up you are in an apt? For example, does water pressure reduce, do toilets not work as well, etc. Thanks for your help!

I found this bug in my house and I am terrified. I have a huge phobia of cockroaches. Well everyone I ask just laughs at me and says every bug I see is a cockroach to me. Its true and I dont think this one is either because all the pics I see on the net dont even resemble it. It is about well 3/4 of an inch long, it is either a really really dark brown or black. It has wings all the way down its body, but what gets me is that it has a tiny head with a ohhh I dont know how to explain this, a tusk or straw like mouth thats about the length of its head. If anyone can help so that I can sleep at night it would be greatley appreciated. It also has skinny jointed legs.

I have checked online, but everywhere tells me something different. The plants I'm currently trying to root are members of the passion flower and honeysuckle families (vine plants with a nice climbing habit) from cuttings I've taken from their newer growth.

One popular method has told me to put the cuttings in vermiculite after dipping the end in rooting compound.

The second method I've found was to take the clippings and keep the bottom half submerged in water (in a glass or test tube) until roots begin to emerge.

(I've even considered merging the two and keeping a test tube filled with water and vermiculite after dipping the plant in rooting compound!!)

Of these two, are either better or worse for rooting these clippings, and if there are any methods that I have missed (I'm sure there are several) that would be a good choice for these plants then please let me know. Thanks for the help.

We have just collected about 40 kg of green tomatoes from our greenhouse. They had become too heavy for the plants to hold them.
what can we do with them to make them go red.

We had them in the car when we drove from CT to Brooklyn.
So the heat got to them......I got rid of all the wilted leaves, now the plants are just sparse.....and still looking a tad lifeless.
I put them in partial sunshine for a day since... they are also in doubled pots ot avoid excess water from leeking to the floor ..should I take them out to let the rooyts breathe? or it does not matter .......What it it that I am doing wrong/ What is it that I am no doing?

My neighbor is an idiot. He lives right next door. If we pull out of our drive ways at the same time he acts like it's a Nascar race. He recently called our local dept of economic development on us because the backboard of our basketball goal was broken and lied to them saying that glass was everywhere. It's 1/8" plexiglass and none was on the ground. I removed the remaining backboard and replaced it with a sign that says "IDIOT" and pointed it at his house. Now, I want his fence off my property. Can I just destroy the section of his fence that is on my property? Can I paint it rainbow colors? Any advice would be useful. The same agency he reported me to refuses to do anything about it.

I am currently renting a room from my friend in a 1,470 sq. ft. townhome that he recently purchased. I pay him a flat rent that is $200 more than if I had to split the bills. In other words, I dont pay any bills, I just pay a higher rent so I dont have to deal with it.

Here is my problem....I wake up sweating every night...checked the thermostat today..and he has the central air set at 78 overnight!!! He keeps it at around 75 during the day which I also think is too high. When I lived at home with my parents, we kept it 72-74 upstairs in the central air and in my room in the downstairs I had a room air conditioner that I put at 68-70 while i slept.

My question is how much more would it cost him per month to put the thermostat down to 72 overnight??

I cant handle it anymore....

I was thinking of buying a hot tub and would like to know what you need for the upkeep. Chemicals and such. Are they expensive? Also, is it a pain to maintain like a pool is? Don't have lots of time to mess with all that.

my neighbor is a friggin pig. and hes a newer addition to the neighborhood . We never had this kind of problem from anyone but the city workers and they dont do it that often. This makes twice this week that he has come outside at an extremely early time to do this crap like he doesnt give a poo about anyone else who may still be asleep. I wish there was something that could be done, i dont see talking to him as making any difference as he seems the type of ****** who would agree to stop then wake up even earlier just to piff me off.

I went to a friends house one time and she had a plant with very strong leaves that she had in 3 rooms in the house. She told me they were good for keeping the air clean.
