He makes much more then I do and I spend a lot of time trying to save money on the bills. I routinely save 35-45 %, I think that this should come off of my share. I look for the specials, cut the coupons, do the shopping and put the groceries away myself. He thinks we should split it 50/50. P.S. I also had a gastric bypass and eat FAR less then he does! And do most of the cooking. Do you all think that this is fair?

I need to do some work on my 4 underground pool pipes that connect my pool to the equipment. If I lower the water level in the pool so it is lower than the level of the 4 underground 2" PVC pipes, do I eliminate any water problems at the site where I am making my cuts? I am worried about not being able to control the water due to the pressure created by the pool. Should I also put a rubber mat over the main drain in the bottom of the pool?

The garage door opener is a craftsman 3/4 chain drive. The wall remote works but the keyless entry panel and the two remotes do not work. They did work when I first installed the garage door. This door is brand new. What could be the problem?

I installed cable in my room, and it was fine and all until it started screwing up. When I went to check on the cable hook up the coax cable head broke off. I also noticed that when I hold the coax cable in the channel comes in really good but the second I let go it go fuzzy again. I tried using electric tape to hold it in but it doesn't work. what should I do?

Without having to intrude on my neighbors yard?

I am planting a 50 foot Canadian Hemlock hedge down the side of my driveway and neighbor's yard on the others side. I would like to have as much property as possible before the hedge , but was thinking that I should have a few feet on the other side of it to trim it without stepping on my neighbors yard. I know this may seem silly , but I know that I would have a funny feeling about my next door neighbor stepping in my front yard to trim the other side of his hedge, but would not say anything about it.
What do you think?
I just hate that I will have to also mow the grass a few feet on the other side as well.

So I'm thinking about buying a new Kirby Sentria as I've heard they are amazing, hell my mom had an old school Kirby and it was like a tank. Only thing is..I've seen prices vary on what people paid for..anywhere from $2,000 (which is BS)..down to maybe $800?...how much were you guys able to buy em for? I got a similar question flagged..and i'm thinking it was from loser salesman trying to protect his/her comission check. I'm all for comission salesmen making money for a living..but don't rip me off ya know.
