my neighbors have dug a large hole that is mostly in their property, but comes into ours a bit. they have also dug another large hole in the yard behind us...i have called the city department and they should respond quickly, but i just noticed something...around the hole, in a large radius, is a patch of white...stuff...i hit it with my knife and its pretty hard and solid...solid enough to cut a piece out of it. i then noticed that there was a snake, dead, lodged in the material sticking half out, along with an assortment of large bugs... i can smell sewage strongly, and they are supposedly only trying to connect to the city sewer, but im not worried about that...do you have any ideas what the white stuff is, and what i should do about it?

We are looking for an exterior stucco contractor in the GTA area. We have a 1960's bungalow and would like to update the insulation as well as the look, but I don't know much about the way exterior stucco works, what warranties are normal, what should be included and what I can expect to pay separately for, etc. Any suggestions?

If so, are they 'safe' to use on a wooden deck? Any suggestions on buying one, based on what you already know about yours?

Every year about this time my house is over run with ladybugs. Does anyone know of anything that will repel them?
I don't really want to kill them, just make them move on to somewhere else.

Its got a big plastic container on top that holds the water. everywhere online it says it "easy to clean" but i can't figure out how to clean it! Its disgusting, but i can't figure out how to get in there and get algae out. I don't want my dog to have to drink water from something thats tinged green... Any ideas?

At work we have a miniture palm tree that consists of 3 seperate trees. Two of the look great and are very firm through the trunk, the third one has lost all of its palms. It is still firm towards the base of the trunk but the upper half feels softer to the touch in comparison and squishy in parts. Is the tree still alive or is it savable? Or do I just need to remove the third tree?

I have an issue with my landlord, she wants me to pay for something that isnt my fault. The washer and dryer hookups were faulty when i moved in, and i didnt know that. So the water leaked all in the wall to my kitchen, which led to a 3x3 ft hole being cut into my wall behind my fridge. And now she wants me to pay for the guy that came out to cut the hole in the wall, because I thought it was my fridge leaking (all the water was under the fridge). So you can see how I came to that conclusion. But I dont think that I should have to pay, it was faulty hook ups that made the water leak not my washer. Does anybody know where I stand legally? Do I have to pay? resources please, thanx.

I have bought a chemical to pour down the drain but I hate to use that. They are really bad in our basement, but they are in the rooms upstairs, too. If you have had them, please, please tell me what to do. Thanks.
