    I'm creating a privacy hedge with Golden bamboo, and since its a running bamboo, figured would create a 24in raised bed planter right up against the concrete block wall. The idea is to use concrete retaining blocks with side slats to secure the bed with cedar, fir or redwood plank boards. Blocks...

    Hey guys! We got back from a vacation and I noticed a mount of small particles (1 inch in diameter) on my bamboo floors. Upon removing the particles, I discovered a small hole in bamboo flooring.

    My home is approx 26 years old (I have only owned it 2 years) and the sub-floor used was kind of subpar in my opinion. I believe it is a 1/2" OSB. It is very creaky and has developed some waviness. Most of the first floor was tiled and the builder applied the tile mortar right to the thin...

    Well looks like we may have found a great Victorian alternative to the 'Cat Pee House', however the owner has let bamboo take over the entire back yard. What is a good way to get rid of all of it? Some shoots are as tall as the house itself, though about a 1/4 of it is dead. We really need some...
