Is this just a gimmick to win business or do most building codes actually require its installation? Everything I find online talks how quickly it degrades and recommends other materials. Is this just a gimmick, or did my first roofer omit the quote?

This is a quick-growing weed that looks a bit like rhubarb at the base...it grew 6 feet tall in 3 weeks! They are sucking up all the water from my rose bushes and I need to know how to kill it!

I want to have a clean house, but not sure on how to get it cleaned the way i want. Infact, the real problem is, i don't like my house super clean. I have to many memories of a super clean house as a kid, my mother cared more about her extra extra clean house, more than her kids. I want my house clean, but i feel uncomfortable if its to clean. i like my house to look lived in not a super selling model house ready for the market. Maybe rearranging my items will make it look more clean. Anyone have suggestions? My house is clean, as in it not smelling or tons of junk all over.

I left the door open to the outside and went into the kitchen to do some dishes. When I came back out to the family room, there was a little brown animal with brown eyes and a thin tail looking up at me. I almost passed out because I didnt expect to see him. It was being pretty friendly with my dog who seems friendly with him. I thought he was a baby squirrel until I seen his tail was not fluffy. He probably weighed a pound.
My daughter says it has been running around in our yard and snacking off the front deck. She thinks its not a big deal because she said when she and her brother were here at home alone about a couple years ago, he ran up into the water spout and they tried to blow him out with bottle rockets.
If he is a harmless little varmin, I would rather not mess with him. Currently, I am not so sure he is not still in the house here with me. Its putting me a little on edge.
Do you think this is a chipmunk? We live in illinois.

When hooking up an electric cord with a wide prong and a narrow prong. How do you know with wire goes to which to which terminal on the motor? When you pull the small cover off the motor, I see 3 bolted connections. The one on the left looks like a black or dark green wire going to the motor, the middle wire is also connected to the cord, and the connection on the right has no wire going to it. It looks like a white wire goes to it from the motor. So which connection goes to the wider prong on the cord?
Thanks,
Vince

earthworms are good for the soil, but if I just put one in there, will it actually be able to reproduce, and flower pot is not big, will it die soon?

it is generally good to put some earthworms in flower pots?
