There are 4 apartments. Should I clean it myself weekly if no one else is, or back off and see if someone else does once in a while?

The grout in our ceramic tile is cracking. The house is new construction. The cracks can be found in different places on the main floor. The grout seems to be holding in place. Should we be concerned?

My neighbors are in a financial bind, and can not afford trash services. We live in the country, and they bag their trash, then put it outside until they "rember" to take it to town and find a dumpster. The area dogs are tearing up the trash bags, and spreading the trash all over my property. I want to do this in the most diplomatic way possiable.

The original owners of my house decorated one wall in our hallway with these brown plastic textured panels that were glued on with some kind of very sticky glue. It was the ugliest thing imaginable. I pulled them all off. I don't want to replace the sheetrock, but now there is glue left on the sheetrock in the design of the texture...a kind of checkerboard design. Any way to get that off before I can spackle and paint? Someone mentioned using mud first. What is that?

I have a GE stove and dishwasher that are only about 6 years old, but the fronts are impossible to clean. After only about 2 years a kind of greasy heavy film developed on the oven and dishwasher door (outside). I've tried regular lyson kitchen cleaner, 409, scrubbing bubbles, and orange glo (which made it much worse). Any suggestions?
