i have grown a lovely lawn in the last year and now it is nearly ruined through ants. it is all patchy after i have cut it and looks like a rugby pitch, full of little holes all over that resemble something like football boot stud marks. what can i put on my lawn to get rid of the ants without damaging the grass?

I've never visited there, but I do like cold and snow. I actually prefer cool rainy or snowy days to hot sunny ones. I currently live in a small college town in Indiana. But other than weather, what else does Minneapolis have to offer?

The front door leads into the dining room and ahead is a door into the kitchen. I like open plan and would like to knock the wall down, seems to be plasterboard. My partner says that the kitchen will look visibly messy and the smell of cooking will linger around. I am not sure if I would loose by money with the removal of the partition. I was also think about a small hole in the wall and covering it with a sliding cover. Any help appreciated....

I'd like to change my existing sliding closet doors to sliding mirrored doors. Will that do anything for my house (added value or just appeal) if and when I decide to sell? I know it'll make the room look bigger, but what else will it do for me besides increase my love life?
