I have a BING Cherry Tree that is about 10 years old and an estimated 14 - 16 foot tall. It has been bearing for a number of years and this year it is FULL ( Really Full) of cherries including the top branches I can not get to.

I am thinking of cutting the top of the tree off so I can (1) get to the cherries there and (2) next year the cherries will be within in reach.

QUESTION - WILL it damage the tree to top it now; cutting will include the main center part (branch or what ever it is called) of the tree .

What would a good Square Foot Estimate be to build a 1300 square foot, three bedroom, two bath home cost to build? standard building materials (2x4 with wood panel siding, normal utilities, etc) I realize the location will make a difference; this would be in zip code 89406; Norther Nevada - a wild guess would be fine .

Are cement floors/pads for a house laid directly on a prepared surface without footings on the perimeter or are the footings required?

The media daily spend time marketing the fear and anger of radical Politian’s who seem to want to change our society into what many people from other countries are fleeing; the hate, threats, tension, weak government, and fear threaten our society! Are these politicians and their supporting media going to succeed in turning the United States into another third world nation?

The cement floor in my home is cracking and buckling creating ridges under the carpeting in several different spots. I had them checked a couple years ago and was told it was just the carpet pad. However, I am seeing cracks in the walls and doors are starting to stick!

II am building a replacement door of 3/4" plywood with 3/4 wood trim around the exposed outer edges. Although the plywood has been waterproofed (used for cement forms) the cut edges are of concern. I plan on covering the edges with paint and waterproofing liquid. WHICH should go on first; will the paint stick to waterproofing or vice-versa?

I have collected cantaloupe seeds from a locally grown cantaloupe that was exceptionally flavored and I want to keep the seeds to plant next spring in my own garden. Do they need to be refrigerated for any period of time - or - just let them dry out and package them until spring? - - - OR ?

I realize there are a lot of varieties of grapes and each probably has its own peculiarities; I have no idea what mine are other than purple and seedless. They produce lareg clusters but never seem to get very large berries as I see so many are. I think maybe there is too much foliage (vines and leaves) that is taking nourishment away from the fruit. (?)

- - - I am wondering if I can cut away some of the branches to force larger fruit. I see vineyards where most of the vines have been cut back and they have huge fruit; - can I improve the size of my grapes by doing the same?

- - - Does it harm the plants to cut the vines back this tme of the year?

I have read that I can remove the apricot nut from the Apricot pit, put the nut in cool storage for 10 weeks, then plant it and the tree should grow. BUT - is that season sensitive? If I start some now, at end of 10 weeks (end of September) will it be safe to set the start out? Will I need to take special steps to prevent it from freezing this coming winter? Would I be better off to just put the pit(s) away until sometime in February of 2019 and start the cooling process with plans then to plant the starts in early May?

I am putting a plywood roof on a small shed; I plan on covering the plywood with metal drip edging, the normal tar paper (or) and roofing shingles; I have been told the edges of the plywood should be coated with waterproofing to keep the wood from sucking up water;

WHAT is a good coating material to use? Should it be used around ALL the plywood edges or just on the lower edges? -
