I know that weeping willows have an extensive root system. I would love to have one in my yard, but i hear the root system would ruin the plumbing. How far from the house should it be planted?

I could turn my air conditioner off and i will soon, but my question is this. When its too cool outside for the air conditioner to work but the fan keeps running does that reduce the Oxygen in the room.

My fam and I felt strange the other day when it was still running and it was too cool to be cooling, we felt the Oxygen was reduced and had a hard time breathing and was feeling tired.

I live in the Philadelphia suburb area. I have a 3-4 foot hole in my back yard from an old above ground pool that was 8 feet deep...yes this was the pool from hell. Anyway - I already have the bulk fill (plus an amazing amount of pavers the previous owners loved to use around the yard) currenlty in the hole or soon to be. But I will still need I estimate b/t 10-15 cubic yards of topsoil to level out the back yard b/f I plant grass.

I am moving to an apartment where the windows are right on the sidewalk and anyone can look in. It's a basement apartment and the windows are up high so I can see out them very well, but people could see in easily. I want to let all the light in, but block the view. Is there something I can stick over them?
