Home & Garden - 22 September 2006

i used to have a druggy live next to me he was a drunk as well he caused my life hell, hed have all his mates hanging outside his door shouting swearing and sometimes knocking on my door. eventually through months of complaining to my housing assosation something was done we was moved but in jan this year a new couple have moved in. they play their music very loud they play it from 8.30pm till 4 in the morning on and off, hear them having s** through the walls coz they are so loud, they are chavs, i have complained 3 times to my housing officer about the prob and sent them diary sheets but nothing has been done. its annoying, my neighbours constantly hoovers, they leave all their beer cans on the lawn and crisp packets and cig packets, i have spoken to the woman who lives above me and she packed it in for a while now they have started it again,i feel intimidated to go outside my home because i think they will have a go at me or my other half, it doesnt feel like home anymore its hell

We have a compost bin and there are thousands of maggots wiggling on the top. Generally we dump our food scraps daily and turn the pile weekly (or so). So we have live ones on top and dead ones throughout.

On that same thought - does anyone have problems with cockroaches and a compost pile? I haven't seen them lurking around ours yet... but wouldn't be surprised.
Thanks.

Calcium deposits are beginning to show (hard water problem). Is vinegar and water acceptable, or is there a special cleaner for gold-plated stuff?

We had some low spots under our deck, so we added some dirt there to improve the grading, but it's coming very close to the siding on the house. Is this a problem? There is no mulch involved and we're assuming that the dirt will settle lower over time.

This morning I found that my huge new Sam's Club bottle of laundry detergent fell off the shelf and exploded all over the laminate floor in my laundry room. Now I have 1/2 inch of detergent all over my floor. What is the best way to tackle this kind of mess?

So my condo neighbors are smokers and the smell has started to recently drift into my spare room, bathroom and kitchen. How do I get rid of the smell? Febreeze only makes it smell like flowers and cigarettes. How can I politely tell them my problem? We've never talked. I would hate to bring it to the condo board and have them involved.

I live out in the country so I can't do anything about them running wild, as there is no law about that. I tried putting rocks in the bottom of the can, but this is a BIG dog! The dog knocks over the can and scatters my trash all over the road and the yard! I am so tired of cleaning up after someone else's dog getting in my trash!
