A stranger rang our door bell this evening and asked if he could rent our 2 car garage. We only have a small amount of furniture in there so we could possibly do this. How much should we charge? He said he has 2 classic cars that he would like to put in our gartage. Do we need special insurance for other people's property on our premises? Should we make up a lease? Does this person sound legitimate?

Today, a large pickup truck pulls up in my backyard and five Mexicans jump out of the truck with machetes and tank sprayers. I go outside and ask, “What’s up”. They just look at me, and one of them says something in Spanish.

Well there’s a Wisteria vine on my power pole, which I had planted a few years ago and an Elm tree nearby. This guy starts to whack on the vine with a machete, and another heads for my Elm tree and I yell at them. Then a sixth guy comes out of the drivers seat, says something and the whacking stops.

The driver walks over to me and he could barely speak any English. But he said he was working for the power company and he’s supposed to cut everything you know?

I said “ No, I don’t know, where’s your papers?” He says he doesn’t know. So’ I told him to get the hell off my property.

Later on, different truck pulls up and at least this Mexican can speak some decent English. He say’s, their supposed to trim the trees and brush along the power line. There are no markings on any of these vehicles and he doesn’t have any work orders either.

So, I tell him to shove off, he says I got to let him do it. I tell him call the cops, as he doesn’t have any work orders. Well, he left and it’s been 4 hours, no cops and no paper work.

Would you have done the same thing?

I have good rose plant pellets that I am supposed to dig up the root area of the rose plant and dig these pellets into the ground, why can't I just put them in my hose end sprayer, let them disolve then hook up the hose and spray on, you can tell I am no scientist. I don't have the money to buy more stuff and i don't have the time to dig up the soils

I bought a used Coleman Mosquito Deleto yesterday and can't get it to start.

I changed the battery on the starter swicth and can hear it trying. My propane tank is brand new and full.

I have contacted Coleman as they don't have manuals posted on their website for this particular model, but so far no luck.

If you have one and have some ideas on how to get it working, please post them here.

Thanks!

Many of my young plants keep mysteriously dying and we have tons of those little guys crawling around them. I know there are many other possibilities, but i'm tired of watching half of the plants i buy die.

I used to work in a hardware store and I know that most of those tool sets you can buy have a ton of things you don't need along with the things you do need. I want to buy my hubby a really nice tool set with good quality tools... but I don't want all that extra stuff... like the tape measure, hammer, screwdrivers... ect, I already have those things. Where can I find something like that? Or do I just have to buy individual items?

I just got a Charcoal Grill, and a Chimney starter from Weber. Because of how the grill I have works, the chimney starter will smoke up the thermometer on the grill cover. I grill on my brick patio at the back of my house. I am thinking, I could just light the chimney starter on the patio, but I figure it'll probably discolor the bricks from the heat? I was thnking about buying a few bricks from the local garden store and lighting the chimney on top of those so they can take all of the heat for 15 minutes before I pour them into the grill. Is this safe? The bricks can handle this heat?

My husband heard really great things about GLADS new FORCE FLEX garbage bags.They are $2 more than the brand that we normally get at the wholesale club around $10 for 140 bags.The commerical shows people stuffing the bag with pizza boxes, and other garbage and the bags are NOT supposed to split.My husband is always complaining I overfill the garbage bags, so I thought I'd put these to the test.I have 2 children/dog so we always have trash going out. Upon looking at the bags they look small, but they are supposed to stretch. So, I empty the diaper genie and throw away the bathroom trash and a small box.Nothing out of the ordinary.The bags completely split open.OK, maybe it was too heavy- so the next bags I throw away a bottle like a wine bottle, not broken- and a cereal box, some papertowels and the bathroom trash.The bag completely splits and there's only 4 or 5 things in it. I HATE THESE BAGS.So, I called the customer service line and they want to send coupons for MORE bags...!

I'm just buying a new bed and have always had a fascination for water beds. If I was to go down this path, what are the pros and cons about water beds? I know very little about them. I have read about their setting up time and so not to get one if you move around lots. What time period are we talking here? Also, energy to heat the thing. Waste of money and emissions or not? Can you get them in double size or do they only come in queen and above as my quick little net search seemed to reveal?

Ta,

Dan.
