Outdoor Living: Koi pond care
I've "inherited" a koi pond. I don't think it's had much care in the past. It has a pump & filter, but it has not been plugged in. What is the most simple way to care for it?

Gardening: Hummingbird Nest Helper
Good morning everyone,
I was just poking around on the web for all things hummingbird, and I ran across this darling cagey thing for pet hair for hummers to use to feather their nest. It was on Amazon and I don't know how to contact the poster. I am taking the liberty to snag her picture and show you and ask if anyone knows where I could find or how I could make such a thing. If the poster happens to be watching thank you so much for this awesome idea!

What great ideas you guys have~~thanks ♥
Outdoor Living: I need a 'step down' from my pond to the lawn.
Hard to see in the photo- but for me to get 'down' from a raised pond bed- I risk injury as I have a problem leg. It's not all that high-maybe a foot or so to the lawn- stepping up is easy- and a bridge would be absurd- but I need something as this leg needs support-
What you see as the bottom of the photo is the place where I have to jump to get to the lawn
From there it's about a 6 inch drop and steep.

Design & Décor: Furniture ideas for 60 inch tv
Any ideas on what to do with this wall to house a 60 inch tv (my husband insists on). This one on the stand is going away and we'll be buying a new one. It's a new house and the plan is to buy a console or wall unit, then rug (that one is ugly) then tall panel drapes I feel like since the room is so light a wall unit could seem to heavy. But a console might leave so much open space above the tv. Any ideas on what would look best? I do not have an eye for decorating and am at a
