We live in a private residential area where our garden backs onto a park walkway. Have had problems with hooligan teenagers breaking glass in our greenhouse for the past two summers. (Have replaced glass with plastic panes) BUT now they are throwing stones/soil/eggs at the front windows. Absolute nightmare - been in touch with the local council and police have been called out many times but they can't do anything unless they catch them throwing! Absolutely pathetic as when we called the police last night the youths were actually at the front of the house and they ask the teenagers "not to run away". Police said to go out to them and ask them nicely not to do it. (What a joke) Am at my wit's end as to what to do next. (Know what I would like to do but they would probably have me in court.) Sensible answers please.

In cleaning out our garage, we found a bunch of old paint, strippers (paint, not dancers), brake fluid, etc. Any thoughts of where I can take this and dump it off to have it properly disposed of?

I would like to have the pump to be sound proof so I can hear my waterfall. I have a pump 1/2 hp pump up to the top of the waterfall 10ft. high. I can hear the pump when I stand close by and can not enjoy the sound of waterfall. Can the pump be sound proof like an entertaiment room with sound proof?

you take a crap and it doesn't even float on the water, because there isn't almost any, it just lands on the damn bowl.

I hope I've made a compelling argument

Please help

I was looking outside early this AM and I saw this amazing bird sitting on a telephone line that crosses a greenbelt that runs along my whole block in the back. It had a rust colored chest and yellow legs with a big hooked beak and the back is bold black and white striped. It may be a kestrel or falcon. It is probably 15 lbs and 22 inches long. I saw it swoop down and grab a small snake and take it up to the wire and swallow it whole. BTW I live in South Texas

My metal eyeglass frame has broken at the nose piece (separating the glasses into two halves). The break occurred riight where the curved nose piece attaches to the main frame just next to the lens.

A previous soldered repair "sealed" the screw such that I cannot take the lens out, so that soldering is out. I did "try" some super glue, but it didn't hold. However, it was not a "brand name" and may not have been the best choice. Is there a glue/cement/epoxy that I can use to attach (perhaps just 1-2 mm of contact is avaialable) the two parts of the metal frame to get a "good enough" repair? I am not certain of the material but it is light, and possibly aluminum or a light alloy.

I wear contacts, so these are backups and I don't wanrt to spend $$$ for a new set since I rarely use them.

QAlso, any recommnedqations on how to improve the bond to give it the best strength would also be helpful.

Thanks in advance

My corian countertops are in good condition but I don't like the color. I can't afford to replace them so I was wondering about painting them a different color. I have read about "Miracle Method" of refinishing corian but don't know if it is a good thing to do or is it better to leave them as is.

I respect the life of all things; big or small, and I don't want to kill these ants. However, I have a 2 year old brother who keeps getting bit! I don't want him to get bit because obviously ant bites are horribly irritating, but I don't want to KILL the ants either... Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your help is much appreciated! God Bless!

My home is overrun with these pests. Every day I kill them but the buggers just keep coming I have no idea where they come from, the little maggot type things just appear on the ceilig. The internet has so far given no clues as all I can find are sites about how wonderful moths are.

HELP!!

Dryer was spinning but not heating so replaced cartridge fuses last week and thought I solved problem however it was only temporary. Back to spinning only. Cartridge fuses are two 30 amp as required. There is also a regular 30 amp fuse for both dryer & washer. Washer works fine though I did replace with new fuse just in case. Would it have anything to do with operating both at the same time though I always have done so in the past.

Our hot water used to be available as soon as we turned on the faucets - suddenly we have to run the water for quite a long time and its tepid at best. The pilot light is on and its running and noone altered the temperature setting.
