Home & Garden - 16 July 2006

My lawn has hard claylike soil and I want to aerate it. I searched for info and have seen differing opinions on the effectiveness of the shoes. But, I don't want to go to the expense of buying or renting a machine because I don't have that big of a yard.

So what's important to you, when looking for a home, whether to buy or rent? Ifyou are buying, it may be one of the biggest decisions we make, not to mention financial... yet looking in the paper, looking on apartment sites or real estate sites, it seems like about all you can do is search for number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and maybe a few other features... but then you spend the next week... month... months looking at everything that doesn't meet your needs, but you didn't know until you looked at it... so it would help if they told us more about the apartment or home so we could cross it off the list without having to waste our time..... but what's really important? Neighborhood? Schools? Cable included? Ceiling fans in every room? Pool? Allow pets?

The answers are different for everybody, but maybe there are things that jump out as being important for a lot of people.... so what's really, critically, decision making important to you????

I planned to rent a house that I really like and is in my rental budget. I talked to a neighbor who knew the previous tentant and she told me she had cockroaches. I talked to the landlord about it and he told me he bombed with insectaside and also put down boric acid. Should I be worried that the roaches will come back?

I want to be certain that I'm not being over charged. If I know like a price per foot and maybe a price per downspout, and if there is an additional charge for a second story house. Any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

It's like spider central down there because I only go down there to do laundry. I don't have a problem in the rest of the house where I live.

I *DO NOT* want to use insecticides or pesticides of something like that that can kill me too.
