I am looking to buy some used planters to start some seeds I have indoors for this year and next. I have looked on ebay, but the shipping is expensive. Do the greenhouses ever carry extra that they sell for cheap? Where else can I get them?

I am talking about 55, 75, or 100 gallon tanks here. Is it safe? Can the floor structure support the weight of the full tank?

Me and my hubby just bought satin sheets and we both love how comfortable they are. The problem we are having is that we are constantly waking up to fix the sheets and I was want to know if there is a way to stop them from being slipper but not ruin the texture.

A couple times when I've come home things have seemed off. I keep losing things. My apartment is pretty small and I don't have a lot of stuff, so I am able to check through everything I own fairly easily. I wouldn't think that somebody had been in my apartment just because of losing things because it's possible I've lost them outside of my apartment, but I'm losing a lot of stuff lately. Also, a several months ago I lost my wallet with a set of keys attached. This morning I noticed it was rather cold in my apartment even though I had the heat on pretty high. Turns out my window wasn't locked. When its not locked, there is a gap and air comes through. The last time I opened my window was due to setting of the smoke alarms. I know I locked my window then. I'm sure I would have noticed the cold air coming in before now if I hadn't.

So anyways, I'm just wondering if there is a way to tell if I'm going crazy or if somebody is coming in.

Here's the thing. I live in a rented flat. The electricity bill has been unsettled for almost 2 years now. The previous tenant hasn't paid any elecrity because the bills were addressed to an even earlier tenant (who apparently disappeared without paying the rent or the council tax or the energy bill...)
So the previous tenant contacted the electricity supplier but got nowhere. I wrote them a few emails and got nowhere. They say they are not my energy provider, but at the same time they send out bills.
When they sent a warning about cutting the electricity off, the landlord contacted them, gave them the serial number of my meter and all... they said they'll send me a "welcome" pack (in MY name) in 28 days... I never received anything.

What can I expect to happen?
Anyone here with a similar problem?

Last night I swear I thought it or they were going to come through the bathroom wall. Lately there's an unbelievable sewer smell coming up from under the house. What is that loud grunting sound about? I think they may be tearing up pipes or something under there. The smell is real bad. I heard loud scratching right under the tub and walls with that scary sound. What can I do? I don't believe in trapping and killing animals.

can a plastic tarp (like the blue ones) work just as well as the bubble wrap type of pool cover to eliminate water evaporation??

I either got it from IKEA or one of the home improvement stores like Lowes or Home Depot. I'd like to know which plant this is so I can learn about what its needs are and such.

Thanks!

A friend of mine has these green rubber attchments to her gutter down spouts that catch the water from the spout and roll out into the yard to distribute the water evenly through holes in the rubber, instead of a mad rush of water in one spot. When the catcher is empty they roll back up. She can't remember where she got them or what they are called. She's had them for years. Please help!!

you aren't supposed to leave a candle burning unattended - I go in and out of the house a lot so every time I blow out a candle it messes it up - so what can I do about that?
