Hello,

I have been dealing with noisy neighbors upstairs for many months now. It's not that they play loud music, but they have a habit of stomping heavily on the floor, slamming their various cabinets and shelves, and dropping heavy objects onto the floor. I understand there is going to be a certain amount of noise anywhere you go, but this is causing me a lot of stress. It happens everyday, but mostly in the evenings and even in the wee hours of the morning. Those dropped objects make my heart pounce and frighten me greatly. I do believe they are doing it deliberately as I also had issues with their noisy dog before.

I reported this to management three times already, and nothing has been done.

I have had enough with the neighbors and management. I am now looking to move out soon. The lease says that to break the one year lease is 30 days notice and one month's rent. Is there a way out of paying this? Can management "bad mouth" me in some way? I have always paid rent on time.

Am I adding peat to allow for better drainage, so it cuts the super water retentive capacity of clay?

Is it doing anything else in the meantime?

When I plant something new, I take all of the old soil, add twice as much peat, and a little bit of manure. I add lime if I am told the plant likes it.

I guess it's kind of like an art, like mixing mortar for brick laying.

I dig a whole as wide as I can, and try for twice as deep as the root of the new plant. I fill in with the ammended dirt, as much as needed so the stems of the plant are level with with the ground.

I never "mound' the plant with dirt. I study the slope of the existing soil and I think about where the water will flow for the roots. With that in mind, I place the root ball where I would like to see new growth.

Also, if I know in advance a plant needs great drainage, I fill the bottom of its hole with pea gravel.

Am I over doing anything, Underdoing something? Your comments are always appreciated.

This is for a close friend who just lost her husband. When my mother in law passed someone had some roses from her funeral preserved and put in a glass container, its beautiful. I'm trying to find out how to do it or somewhere to take flowers to be fixed before they wilt.

Just got a used dryer with a 4 prong cord. The wall receptacle outlet receives 3 prongs only; is there a converter invented to plug inbetween both of them? Or do I have to replace the receptacle? Thanks.

i've lived in a nice apartment complex right on the bay for close to seven years now. in just one year the rent went up twice. the deck hasn't been fixed ever since hurricane wilma struck. when my AC broke, they took close to a month to replace it. i have neighbors who let their dogs loose in the hallways to do their business (and i have pets). i have no screens on my windows. i know the manager wants to help, but the property owner is the one who is financially responsible. by the way, the rent increase was to fix the deck. we've gone a year now and nothing has been done. help!!
