My wife's cousin did a lousy job of putting up some drywall in the attic. In several areas, long cracks have appeared where the sections of drywall meet. My wife says to just fill them with something, sand and repaint. I say it needs to be rough sanded down to the drywall, retaped, mudded, sanded and repainted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I must admit that I am a newbie to this sort of thing but believe that it is well within my abilities. If you give any advise, could you be as specific as possible? Thanks in advance.

I am always asking them to keep off the wall along with my own kids. I need to stop them but not sure the best way without cutting down all my light into the garden. Once on the wall they then run across the shed roof, I am so fed up with it. So is my neighbour she is constantly telling them off too.
As i would want to attach to top of wall what would be best way to attach something?
Any ideas appreciated.

I have these big tall evergreens in my back yard 5 total,(junipers I think) they stand about 18 feet tall and 8 feet around two of them are starting to turn yellow/orange at the base going up about 7 feet, the branches are dry, they crack like a dry stick when you bend them, the rest of the tree is green, however, the yellow/orange keeps going upward, are they dying? is there any kind of spray I can put on them, is it too late? I have a few cats that like to visit my yard, could that be the problem, I think I know the answer to this question but I hate to lose the evergreens, does anyone have any help? The climate is Albuquerque NM, it's been going on for about 1and1/2 years, I have tried soil sul and sprays the nurshery sugested, to no avail.

Does lightning usually cause house fires by superheating the wood of the house, or by superheating the electrical wiring? Anything you can do to prevent/minimize damage other than putting in a lightning rod? Thanks!
