Can I cut my evergreen tree down to half its height and still get new green growth?

Anonymous user 29/10/2025 - 10:39 AM

I'm thinking about trimming my conifer tree down to half its height. After that, it won't have much green left on it. Do you think it will eventually grow new needles over time or am I risking killing the tree by doing this? Will the tree bounce back?

Front window condensation

Ramona Pannewitz 28/10/2025 - 1:32 PM

We just noticed that our front double paned window has condensation forming at the top of it. It is a 20 year old vinyl window that probably has a broken seal. This living room window is a larger middle one, with two smaller ones on each side. Can this be fixed? Thanks

Do you still use a wooden backing for curtain rods?

Anonymous user 27/10/2025 - 10:53 AM

Hey, I want to know if I need to put up a wooden backer on the wall before installing a curtain rod? Or do most people nowadays just attach the brackets and rod directly to the wall without using a backer? What's the benefit of using one? The curtains I'm putting up are pretty heavy since they're blackout ones. Thanks in advance!
