I saw a large potted plant at the fair in the exhibit building that was seriously growing what looked to be regular sized white pealed hard boiled eggs on it! I was fasinated by it. There was no tag on it saying what type of plant it was or the name of it. Has anyone seen a plant like this before? I am trying to find the name of the plant so I can get one for myself to grow. It's really a cool looking plant.

The area around my home is covered in small frogs and toads. They have become a major irritation. I am wanting to found out if anyone knows of a home remedy or some sort of repellant that would work on getting these pests to stay out of our way?

I hear strange tapping and pinging noises when the heating is on. Someone mentioned that I may need to bleed the radiators. Is this correct…Please can someone give advice on what is going on and how I stop this?

I have a dear friend that doesn't have much money so I wanted to ask this question before they put this in.

They were given a fireplace insert. He has cut a hole in there livingroom and is going to frame it with "cement board" and then run triple stove pipe up from there.

Is it possible to do this? should he do more than that for the insert.

I'd hate to see them create a problem while trying to stay warm this winter.

I bought an 11HP Craftsman pressure washer. The engine is a Briggs and Stratton, Intek model. This is an awesome pressure washer. But, it sounds like a dragster (ok I'm exaggerating). I called Briggs tech support and they said they were working on a solution, but it may take 2 years. I will lose a lot of hearing in 2 years, and my neighbors may set my house on fire when I go on vacation (I'm still exaggerating).
I was thinking of running it in my garage with the doors closed and running extra hose. This would probably work, but the risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning is too great to try it I guess.
So, does anyone know of a solution to this, aside from buying an electric model? I don't want to part with this machine. :(

My brother found it in the woods (in Middle Georgia). It was a green tennis ball - sized pod on a single stem. The pod was split so when it dried I open it to find over a dozen brown seeds that were about the size of fat butterbean. I thought it looked like something you'd find near a pond but my brother found it under some trees,probably pine trees. I'm really interested in finding out what it is and what the flower looks like. I've never seen anything like it---it's very alien-looking.

It's like a blendar type, similar to the big ones that are connected to trucks that shred down the tree branches, I am looking into buying a small portable one that I can carry around when doing work in the yard to eliminate the big pile of debris.

I just ordered a few hundred dollars worth of clothing and have been tracking it with the tracking number provided by fedex. I went to track the package today and it said it had been delivered and left on the doorstep. I left work to go get it and nothing was there. It did not require a signature so he should have left it reguardless. Is there any reason that the website says shipped and he may not have made it out there yet? is that a possibility? if not then i know someone took it off my pourch. in that case what happens? again it was about 300 dollars worth of clothing.

I live in a detached property but my wall at one side is in my neighbours drive and they have large gates so you can not see down. I have right of way to maintain my property.

My house was on the market and sold, the surveyor indicated very high levels of damp on this wall that is in the neighbours driveway and recommended a specialist report. I arranged this and the surveyor found they had rubbish piled 5 foot high and 3 foot deep against my wall, he indicated this has caused the damp. The rubbish has been there a long time over the summer during the heavy rain and, is mostly in plastic bags etc so any rainfall is soaking directly into my wall.

The buyers have pulled out.

There was no other damp found.

I complained to my neighbours yesterday and they apologised and said they would move it, how long do I reasonably give them to move it as this is making my property defective?

I am so upset about this is there any legal action I can take or would this just be petty?

I just found out there are white bug/insects crawling around and appearing on my bathroom floor when i moved in. At first i didnt think it was a problem but later on i would spot one on the floor more frequently. I have no idea what they are, as i've never seen this kind of insect before. They are white in color, in an almost oval shape, it looks like they have some kind of soft shell around them and they have thin striped lines across their body shell, approximately 6-8 legs, and it has antenas on its head. I tried squishing them with tissue, but they run away pretty fast. I think they are nested inside this small crack in my bathroom between the bathroom cabinet and the wall, but i don't know which kind of insect spray i could use to get rid of them. Can anyone help me figure out what they are and i would really like to get rid of them from my bathroom!!!

I want to force myself to throw away some of my stuff and be more organized. I went from a big house with basement and attic to a small townhouse to a tiny apartment. I have a gigantic storage shed full, another storage shed I built on my mom's, one half the attic at my mom's and some of garage and her I filled up 5 of the storage sheds (smaller)..I am only supposed to have one but people did 't use them..the house is full.

I get emotionally attacked to everything. I may be moving in a year or so to a slightly bigger place. If it is away, I do not think of it but feel safe..when I look through it I do not want to throw a lot of it away but cannot bring it here. I am thinking of working on my house first and then tackling the boxes--maybe going through and throwing some away and organizing contents so I know what is where.

for instance, I have about 20 boxes of children's clothes that have been in storage years--my youngest is 27 now and oldest is 34. I have several toy boxes

I have my house rented.
Direct TV installed and antenna on top of the beautiful aluminum siding and drilled holes everywhere with the tenant's authorization.
Aren't they supposed to ask for the house owner's authorization?
