Home & Garden - 13 June 2006

I have a 4 foot above ground pool, and a very wet corner of my backyard, I believe I have located the slow leak. There's an area where the sidewall meets the bottom, where the sand seems to have been washed away or compressed, about the size of a softball. I put on my scuba gear for a longer/closer look and it looks like (because of the depression) the liner has been stretched very thin and is seeping. I'd like to make it thru the summer so then I can empty it and replace the liner in the off-season. What type/kind of patch can I use that can be applied under water and will stick well? I got some vinyl patches at my local pool store and they were crap, didn't work well. Any kind of underwater paste, glue, patches, etc?

I bought a home in an upper-middle class neighborhood. It LOOKED pretty clean and well kept, but after I moved in I realised that it was only cleaned well enough to appear clean and apperently little maintence was done on it. I have spent months dealing with all of this (full time) and have a ton more to do. And we had friends move into the same neighborhood recently and theirs is in worse shape then ours!
What is wrong with people? Do they have no pride? I can't beleive they raised their children is such messes.

It suffered severe damage, but nothing structural aside from the entire roof. The inside is totally destroyed. They are getting nowhere and are getting so frustrated. The initial quotes were ridiculously low and now they are getting the runaround.

I saw these candles at someone's home recently and I didn't know her very well so I didn't ask, but they smelled great and I want to get some.

It's one piece connected for back and seat, green stripes (but not important), I've looked on the web all day. It was originally bought at Lowe's around 5 years ago and all I can read on the tag at this point is sheen tex fabric and the company name that starts SHA (the rest is worn off).

So I have agressive house spiders getting into my tub, 1 every morning. Im afraid of spiders and to see one in my bathtub every morning is too much. I have a full tubsurround and I know these little bastards cant climb the walls so how do they get in? This bathroom is in the basement of a bi-level house that is only 3 feet underground. There is a heat register above theshower head but ive blocked it and they still get in...HOW??? is there anything I can do to get rid of em or prevent them? Usually I call my cat beanbag and he eats them for me, no wait! HAHA...Any ideas??

THANKS

Just a rough estimate, trying to find if I'm better off doing it myself.

I live in South Florida and can't find any independant test results to demonstrate whether this product really strengthens windows. I live on the 9th floor of a condo and am not worried about something flying into my windows. I just want to keep the windows from breaking in strong winds.

I've had a wasp's nest on my back porch for a little while now, and it has been growing! I don't have anything to protect my face, as of now, so I've been putting it off. Any suggestions about the best way to remove it? At night? Any special chemicals? Horror stories welcomed :)
