Home & Garden - 14 August 2006

I had a lot of posters up on the wall, I've gotten all of the blue stuff off the wall, but it left what looks like grease spots all over the wall.

Please help! Having lived in our end terrace now for two years we are having problems with our next door neighbours. Basically they rent the property dirt cheap from some village crook and they have started to become real pains. The problems first started two years ago when they continually parked their car in front of our house, they sell cars in the street on the sly, the house has started to become a ruin as its slowly falling down, we hear squeals coming from the early hours, sounds more like pain then pleasure, there is a 11/2 year old baby continuously crying and they have a savage dog that if your outside he will try and attack you and barks all day. The amount of rubbish piled in front is a real eyesore. Having spent a lot of time and effort updating our house it’s getting to breaking point. Anyone know what, if anything I can do? Such as approach their landlord? Thanks.

Its all gone black round the bath and I'd rather not have to replace it all.

They are in my vegetable garden and I don't want to spray any commercial killers for fear of food contamination. Any home remedies or food freindly products that anyone can recommend?

I just bought top soil (not potting soil) to put in a raised bed I just had built. Besides compost, what else should I start putting in the soil, so it is ready for the next growing season?

I have just bought a house that was built in the 1940's which has all the original fittings including the original bathroom tiles. I am having a shower fitted over the bath and unfortunately this means that some of the tiles will have to be destroyed. Is there any where I can get replacements? They're white and are about half an inch thick with a curbing (quarter circle) that goes along the top edge of the tiled area. I imagine that I'll only need about a dozen of them, but I can't think of where I might find them. Obviously older tiles would be better as they'll match the others around them but I'd be interested in modern alternatives. Thanks.

There's a sewage works indicated on the AtoZ maps close to a house I'm considering buying.
But you can't see anything on Google Earth.
Who would you contact to find out what's there, or if something is planned?

I have a set-in oil, grease stain on my cement driveway, besides the fact that it's ugly; my condo association has asked that I clean it up. I have tried a couple different oil removers from the local hardware store and Home Depot. Help!

I'm sick of three way bulbs that partially burn out, and would like to change my lamps so I can use 100 watt fluorescent or incandescent bulbs. I know how to remove and replace the switch but I don't know if it will work, though I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't; can you?

because the back of my yard looks dead with nothing in it. The previous owners put a veggetable garden in it but I think they decided it was too much work. It's a bit dry back there and very shadey from all the trees covering the light.

please help me find something to make my backyard a bit more colorful and cheerful to look at!

The vines seem like they have eyes and are "exploring". They are hooking on to anything and everything that is around it. I can't figure out how it knew to move a very long vine from one side of the fence to the other side where the trellis is...in a day!
