Q. We bought a small wood-burning stove and had it installed in our family room with pipes coming out the top and running up to the roof. This was more than 10 years ago. About five years ago, my husband thought the stove was not big enough and bought a larger one to replace it that had its own pipes. The old stove and the pipes have been sitting in our basement ever since. The other day, my son mentioned that maybe he could take the old stove and install it in his fireplace. Is this something that can be done by a DIYer? What does he have to do to prepare?

A. There are two important rules concerning wood-burning stoves, whether they are freestanding or in a fireplace: 1. They need stainless-steel chimneys, or when inside a fireplace, a stainless-steel flue liner. 2. When a chimney or flue liner goes through a ceiling into the attic, out through the roof, it must be fully insulated against fire.

Also, a freestanding stove should be at least 3 feet away from a standard exterior or interior wall. If the stove is closer, it must have an asbestos or other heat-proof barrier between it and the wall.

Your son can install such a stove in the house, but I suggest he consult a heating expert.

According to the state Department of Fire Services: A building permit must be obtained prior to the installation of fireplaces, wood, or coal burning stoves. They must be inspected by the local building inspector prior to their initial use as required by the Massachusetts State Building Code.

Ive never met a gardener who hasnt planted something that at first sight looked innocent and pretty and later lived to regret it. It neednt have been something big like giant hog weed or a Norway maple, either. Many plants become invasive by root runners or self-seeding. They choke out the plants we want and can take over entire swatches of a garden. Some, like garlic mustard and purple loosestrife, endanger our woods and wetlands. In my garden, I have a tiny ground hugging sedum that blooms yellow in late spring. It was here when we bought the house and served its purpose in a newly planted garden around our pond. It has insinuated itself into the creeping thyme, ajuga and iris as well as every other nook and cranny it can find. There are other culprits to avoid, many of them ground covers: English ivy, houttuynia, periwinkle, ribbon grass, goutweed to name a few. Plant wild strawberry, wild ginger, wintergreen, mayapple or foamflower (tiarella cordifolia) instead. Grasses are all the rage now. But buyer beware as some such as miscanthus sinensis are invasive, spreading by seed and rhizomes. Ive found oat grass, as lovely as it is when its seed heads are swaying in the autumn breeze, has worked its way into places it shouldnt be and is a pain to dig out. There are many great alternatives out there, so do your research. When plant shopping, always read the plant labels carefully. Lastly, beware of gardeners bearing gifts of plants that they have an abundance of! Growing Green is a regular feature prepared by the Mount Hamilton Horticultural Society (gardenontario.org/site.php/mhhs). Helen MacPherson, vice-president of the society, wrote this report.

MANILA - Want to know what's in store for you for 2015? Will it still be a bad time to start a new relationship? Will conflicting countries reach their boiling point? A feng shui expert revealed her predictions for the coming Year of the Sheep.

In a press conference held on Wednesday, Maritess Allen explained that the forecasts for the Year of the Sheep -- officially starting on February 19 -- are better than the previous lunar year.

"It is not super perfect but at least we are getting there. In a scale of 1 to 10, we are on a 6 or a 7 so we are in an ascending order, which is a very good sign," she said.

Allen revealed that the feng shui chart for 2015 features all five elements, namely: wood, metal, fire, earth, and water, adding that this is a "very rare and an unusual phenomenon."

And while 2014 was filled with misunderstandings leading to conflicts, especially in new relationships and between countries, the brand new year will be a more calm one, according to Allen.

'Lucky signs'

Allen went on to share which animal signs are "lucky" during the Year of the Sheep.

Aside from those who are born in the year, people under the Horse and the Monkey animal signs are predicted to get the blessing of the "prosperity star," which is associated with good fortune, she said.

Other animal signs that are predicted to be "lucky" next year are the Rat, which will have the "wealth star," and the Tiger and the Ox.

Those born under the latter two are said to receive "unexpected gifts" in 2015.

Sept. 9 is a very auspicious day in the Chinese calendar as it is the last day of the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. This year, however, the day was especially bittersweet as it marked the end of an era: the iconic Mandarin Oriental Manila, home of the Yin & Yang Shop of Harmony for the past 14 years, has closed its doors. But as the saying goes, when one door closes another door opens. The shop, through the mother and daughter team Baby and Princesse Fernandez, Chased The Moon during this enchanting evening by gathering together friends, family, loyal clients, and patrons at the opening of their new home at the New World Makati Hotel. The Yin & Yang Shop of Harmony was established in 1998 in partnership with the late great Feng Shui Master Paul Lau Tak Lun from Hong Kong. He, along with Jullie Yap Daza on her popular Tell the People TV show, revolutionized the way people view Feng Shui and Chinese traditions and made the practice of Feng Shui more accessible.
