Only the top two feet of the wall
It is dry, and wipes off with a wet rag.
Looks like I poured CocaCola on my wall and let it dry.

I sprayed a couple different times for aphids and I don't see any sign of them. I also don't know why the bottoms are turning brown on the tomato itself as the blossoms are long gone. ... Confusing... I've been told to much water.. I know thats not it. I have been told the nutrients in the soil.. I need help as I'm losing them all...

I had wood laminent flooring put in 3 years ago. This summer spaces have started appearing between several of the panels. I cant seem to figure out why this happening. We've had over a week over very hot weather, 110 and over, so could this be a factor?? If so when it gets cool, will the panels expand back? Of course our warranty expired so we cant have it fixed for free. Thank you.

Before you classify this as a stupid question, think of this. The small motor that turns the fan at the top of the unit is maybe 2 amps and uses about 20 dollars worth of electricity in a month, if that much. However, the compressor makes my electric meter spin like a wild top out of control. Running the air conditioner makes my electric bill increase by roughly three hundred or more dollars each month --- or more. By the way, my unit is only eight years old. Does anyone realize that true wealth and prosperity beyond imagination await the man that invents a genuine energy-saving compressor? So here is my real question : What the heck is in a compressor that sucks the electricity like a vampire? What could possibly be inside a compressor that uses so much juice?

Did they kill the worm, why are they covering it and what are they going to do with it?

places like chemlawn will do the job but cost a fortune since they recommend 4-5 treatments per year at $125 per time. and self-applied fertilizer doesn't seem to do the job....perhaps i'm getting the wrong stuff?

There is a sandy mound of dirt in my driveway with what appears to be an animal hole in the middle of it. Something is coming out of this hole. It looks like (possibly) a snake. The mound is about 4 inches high. There is sometimes a track next to it which looks like a snake's (or maybe it's a hose :) ). I live in the so. suburbs of Chicago. Anyone know what this is? Should I be worried? Thanks!

I made a belly cast when I was expecting and took it off too early so it dried slightly lopsided. Would water soften it so I could slightly reshape it or is it too late?

I have a drain easement behind my property and Meyer-Sutton (builders) state they are not allow to remove the vegetation because of the ordinances, however, half of my yard is sodded but not the half they say there's an ordinance against. They have left a mound of dirt (left my the construction workers) on my property and I believe that they just refuse to remove the vegatation. Also they has filled the flower bed in the front of my house with sand and claims that its best for plants to grow in. But until I removed the sand & put soil in everything they planted died within a month or so. My understanding is that Bermuda grass works well with sand but not plants. They claims that their not responsible for landscaping and it's my responsibility to maintain the landscape. How can I maintain something that has not been properly started and impossible to maintain? If anyone has any answer to the buffer question or the planting question please respond.
