Other - Home & Garden - July 2007

I live in a shared house. In the bathtub over the plug hole is a detachable piece of metal which fits in the hole and has small round holes in. I just don't understand it's purpose. It seems to just collect hair from everyone who uses the tub/shower meaning that somebody has the unpleasant job of picking out all the hair from it . Other than that, it serves no purpose. Surely things like hair would be better off just going straight down the hole into the drain, as they would if this cover was not there. The only possible useful thing they would do is to prevent items being lost down the plughole, but I believe that most people remove items like jewellery before taking a shower and i cant think of anythign one would normally take into a shower that is small enough to go down the hole.

This just started growing in the planter next to my mailbox, and it so beautiful. It seems to multiply, the foliage is thick purple and a 3 petal pink flower grows at the end. If anyone can tell me what the name is, its apprecated. Thank u.

Regarding above ground pools? We have a fence around the inground but also purchased an above ground (safe for the little one) about 4ft deep. Does it need to be in a fenced in area according to the law?

We have checked Home Depot, Lowe's and Walmart. We can only find a 5-6,000 BTU air conditioner that will fit in the window. We need a more powerful one.

I just need the petals, not the plants, and I need a lot. When I lived in West Palm Beach, there were many places that sold roses for $1 each, but since moving to Texas I can't find anything like that. Any suggestions?

Can anybody tell me how we can convert the numbers on the water meter to amount of dollars to pay? We each live on an acre of land, which uses a lot of water. My brother shared the well with us, but has moved. Since he moved, we bought and installed 2 water meters. Now, we need to know how much the new owners should pay. We live outside of Bakersfield, California.

Each day, it digs up the flowers, my mom fixes them up, and same thing happens the next day. If I knew when the squirrel comes to the garden each day, I would probably wait outside for it with a baseball bat and kill it. That's not an option though.

How can we get rid of the squirrel? Any suggestions or similar problems?

We just had a new concrete deck put around our pool yesterday AM, the dogs walked all over it last night and left little white foot prints all over it, i thought it was just mud until i went to wash it off today, the foot prints are still on there... Will this eventually fade Or is it ruined?

I paid $450.00 for a site evaluation and afterwards found out that I'm gonna have to get a mound system. After I talked to the site evaluator she said she was looking at the map and it looks like my land is better in certain areas than others. Couldn't she have told me that I'd probably have to get a mound system from just looking at the map instead of doing soil core samples etc..?

Hi,

We have a wormery at the bottom of our garden to compost kitchen waste, but it is full of little black flies that swarm up when you open the lid.

Its been getting worse recently, and we've been noticing more flies in the house as well.

We think the worms may have died, and are trying to get hold of some new ones. Could this cause the fly invasion?

I live in an apartment complex and it has two very large pine trees. I am puzzled because the tops of both trees are cut off. They are not located around electrical lines or close to any buildings. Got any ideas why this would be??

Can you please tell me how does the cost of extracting heat from an average sized electric freezer compare with the cost of generating heat with an electric heater in the home? My old freezer runs continually these days - about how much money am I wasting?
