Bad Contractor But No Permit, Can I Sue??

I paid a contractor to remodel my existing shed into a one bedroom apt. He almost never showed up, purchased over $3,000 worth of material and has $3,200 in cash of my money. He will not return my phone calls and has left me with a huge credit card bill, tons of material and an unfinished job. The only problem is I never got a permit from the city to remodel. Will I still be able to take him to court and sue? Does it look like I will get any of my money back? PLZ HELP!

Can I feed deer in one place to keep them from another place?

I have a new veggie garden in the middle of a field where I have seen deer. Can I specifically feed them at one end of the field to keep them away from my garden? What would I feed them? Anyone done this successfully? Will deer eat a flower garden?

An herb that would grow well on a windowsill with limited light?

I have an empty flowerpot and I'm trying to decide what to plant. It lives on my kitchen windowsill. I tried growing mint, but there really wasn't enough light for that and the plant had a very hard time. Something I would use more often would be nice too. Suggestions?

i've rec'vd a quote for a new dual pack 'york 4 ton 13 seer unit for $3600. that does not include the price of fixing any leaking they may find in the attic duct work. i'm wondering how much that may cost me. the duct test and permits are all included in the $3600 price. other quotes for the same unit were going to cost about $4900.and they would fix the leaks also in that price. any info is helpful.....

Underarm odor will not go away...?

My husband's work shirts are pure cotton polo style shirts. I have been using Shout to spray the armpit of the shirt prior to washing it but I've noticed that whenever I am ironing them, they still have that underarm odor. I am using a good detergent but it still doesn't get rid of the odor completely. Any tips?

The bunnies (rabbits) have finally found our vegetable garden, and eaten the green beans down to the dirt?

Is there a way to prevent them from getting at the rest of all the young sprouts of vegetation(flowers and vegs) without enclosing the gardens in mesh fencing?
