killing the weeds in my gravel driveway.  The connection for the tank
is a nut of about 3/4" with a protrusion of about 1-1/2 inches beyond

I've got a small tree on my property and don't even know what it is. It must
be about 4 years old, same age as the house. The leaves have not come in

I have a bedroom I'm using as a home office, and the window provides
next to no light for the room.  The room is 14'x11' and though the
