I am looking to plant some trees in my backyard, where my septic tank is, but not close to it. My backyard has a high water table and is usually moist but not soggy. I need some good fast growing shade trees that will not uproot my septic system. any ideas??

It is overgrown with cattails and other ugly plants and weeds, and I would like to make it look more attractive. It measures about 50 ft long and about 8 ft wide.

The whole ceiling does NOT need replaced, only where some were damaged due to roof issues when it rained. This building was built over 50 years ago and the tiles were installed then. The new tiles do not match to interlock and we cannot find any that will. How do we get the first tiles to stick to the ceiling. We have used liquid nails and other adhesives that were supposed to be instantly stuck (( which were not)) Any Suggestions? I told him to sand the back of the tiles since they are so smooth. To give them something for the glue to grab on to....but im just a woman and dont know any better apparenlty and it wasnt a good idea. SOOO im looking for suggestions. Thanks.

Need to catch a rabbit (there are plenty running around the yard). We have a trap. Don't worry, we won't kill it - just drive it far enough away and release. Any ideas of what to put in the trap besides carrots?

The top one not the bottom. The bottom one is too easy. 10 points to the first correct answer.

Granted I know saving up for a down payment would be key. But what other steps do you advise.

I have laminate flooring to install that looks like real hardwood. They are individual pieces, 3 different lengths. How do you know what order to put each board length so it looks like a pro installed it? Maybe I should just hire the pros to do it for $300. Does the video show you what order to put the boards?

During the summer the water in my pond became very murky and green. The pond is 8x6 feet. and I have about 20 goldfish in there. I emptied and refilled the pond but it quickly went green again. Can anyone tell me what to do. I used to have water lillies on the pond but I took them out as they were badly overgrown.

Not a contractor, but from the company we're already shelling out the bucks to for a home system. Are we supposed to tip him, and if so, how much? He's here now but almost done... help!

The microfiber seems to really hold the cat hair, like velcro. I have tried a lint roller. It still leaves some hair behind. I am also looking at buying a microfiber sofa & don't want to get one, if I can't clean cat hair off. Does anyone w/ cats have one? Help!!
