I am digging an underground passage over to my mistress's house, and She Has started one from her side. We live about a half a mile form each other. How long do you think it will take to dig a walkable tunnel, under, basicly hard sand and sandstone, if two people are digging towards each other? and where should I distribute the tailings so it wont be noticeable. We dig at night, after work, and we have been dumping it out if suitcases into the river, by the park at lunchtime, but it's starting to make a little sand bar., maybe we should start landscaping the yard with some of it. maybe a little terrace in the back yard?....

Is there anything that I can do about the helicopters that circle around my neighborhood so frequently? They often fly low. It seems that every neighborhood I move to ends up with them circling above at least once a week, usually at night. My city has a noise ordinance (from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.), but for some reason, the copters are allowed to fly even during those "quiet hours".

My husband and I recently purchased a home that has a hot tub outside on the back patio. There was no manual left behind, only some chemicals. I would like to know how to drain the hot tub? I'm assuming there is some sort of mechanism for doing this. Any information would be helpful.

When I open the door smoke comes out and fills the house with smoke. The previous woodstove I had did not do this nearly as bad. I am wondering if this is a design flaw with this brand of woodstoves? Anybody have a blazeking?
