I just picked up this used washing machine that somebody threw away on my newspaper route. It was next to a dryer that was taken apart, so i figured it worked alright. I called up the former owner, and i guess their is nothing wrong with it. Since i sell on Craigslist, i was wondering what i should sell it for. I was thinking $40.00.

I had a infestation of small flies in my apartment recently. The flies had clear wings and could not fly very well but seemed to be in groups. They seem to stay in groups..they came in through my window sill, I used Raid to get the flies to die...but what are they and where are they coming from and what can I do to keep them out? I live in Central Florida....

I always have lots of ants around my home! I put ant traps out, and spray, but more keep coming from my nieghbors yards, who by the way do nothing to get rid of the ants! They just let them crawl all over their yards! I can see them coming along the sidewalk to my house! I used to use diazinon granulas, which worked great, but they took it off the market! I haven't been able to find anything on the market, that works as good! Does anybody know of any product that works good to kill the ants! Right now I'm using Terro traps, but it seems to take weeks, and the ants are still there!

Can anybody tell me how much it would cost to hire a large marquee? I am hosting an event which will be attended by anything between 300 and 500 people and would like to hire a marquee (possibly two) which would ideally hold about 150-200 people for use as a "dance tent"? Any ideas how much I should expect to pay?? In addition, any idea how much portable toilet trailers cost to hire?? Thank you in advance!!

I normally reside up north but have been living in Florida for a few months for work. I live in the third story of a building and my screened porch always has lizards on it. (I know they are harmless and get rid of bugs but they give me the creeps). I have asked my neighbors and no one else seems to have this problem.

Are we unwittingly attracting them in some way? I have sprayed the porch with bug spray to try to get rid of their food. I also have two cats but, like bugs, they just point things out and won't kill anything. Is there anything we can do to discourage them from staying here (or encourage them to go downstairs instead)??

The cabinet is wood and about 3/4" thick, and there are several cords that will need room to exit in the back. I can't take it apart- I need to be able to get the hole cut/drilled with the cabinet assembled as is.

Bonus-- whatever tool you're recommending- is it something I should be able to rent at Home Depot or Lowe's?

Weve purchased the inflatable ring type in the past 18'x4' but Im wondering about the type with the pvc frame they are a bit more expensive and Im wondering if its worth it - if they are more sturdy and last longer I would think so but then again the fact that the inflatables have more give and flexibility maybe they are less likely to leak and easier to repair??? Anyone have experiences with the pvc-like frame type? Our infaltables last about 2 seasons.

the leaves on my plant are turning yellow, its a cutting from a house plant, its been doing quite fine in water and has lots of roots but lately i've noticed that its turning yellow. the plant is not a spider plant, the leaves look a little bit like hearts. its in a semi-sunny temporate window. I'm thinking that it's time to plant it in soil, if so can i trim the roots beforehand (they're pretty long)?

Last year we had a woodpecker who poked holes in our siding in a couple of places around the house. We kept chasing him off, but he'd come back. We had peace over the winter, but he returned this spring with company...presumably grown babies from last summer. Help! How do we get them to stop? They're digging some nasty holes in the siding in several places.

I planted 3 lemon seeds a few years ago. The seeds came from a lemon that I got from the grocery store...
Anyway, they are taller than the house now, but have never produced flowers or lemons.
I was reading that it may take up to 15 years for them to produce. Unless they are grafted or propagated from an already producing tree...
Well I do have a lime plant that produces, so I was wondering how this could be done and what would I get?
Limons? lol
I searched google, but couldnt find what I was looking for.
Can anyone explain, or give me a good website that shows me what to do?
Thanks!
