We are away on holiday for a week and I am worried about the garden if it is very hot - I can ask a friend to come and water it all once in the week but my friends are busy with small kids and I don't want to ask them to come every day.

Any tips on how to prevent plants from dying? our garden is quite sunny. I am very worried about a new magnolia tree we just planted as it is in full sun.

we are trying to buy a house, but after a land search we found that there were 8 restrictive covenants, the restrictive covenants were taken out on the land in the 1930's and we know there are 8 of them but the actual restrictions are are not known, we have tried finding out from the local land registry office, but until now only one person has ever lived there and the house has never been registered so they are unable to tell us. is it possible to have these removed or another way of finding out what they are, please help?

I already know: Use a ground-fault outlet mounted inside a plastic flip-open waterproof cover. Most hardware stores have these.
This needs to run 24 hours a day.

He has them contained in a run by the Fence. The odor of poop effects our use of the back yard and we can't keep our bedroom window open nightly! The Town claims they are powerless to act, since there are no laws regarding this! Constructively speaking, I am looking for an answer to this problem that affects our quality of life! I don't want to cause harm to the animals because it's not their fault, who can come up with a clever idea that would want the owner to move his dogs closer to his house!

What is the wall stud spacing in a new home - 16" apart??

What about an older home - built in 1900 - is it 14"?
They are very difficult to find with all the plaster & lathe in the wall!
