The building contractor has been paid in full (which was a bad move) and I feel he doesn't have any incentive to come back and finish the job, plus take care of things that weren't done right the first time. FYI - the job was to put all new windows in the home, cover the home in new siding, put a new metal roof on the home, and a few other extra things. We have had siding pieces that just fall off (no wind or rain that would have ripped it off). It just simply fell off. Their answer to repairing it, is to just use screws. The screws are put in on the outside of the siding and are exposed. It doesn't look right.

The contractor and the siding company are ignoring my calls and I don't know what to do. HELP!

I'm 5'9", and the workbench will be used for electronics. I plan on using an adjustable drafting stool to sit on, but I also want the top of the work surface to be high enough so I can stand and work comfortably. I don't want to hunch over too much.

The weeds are taller than the grass and will get mowed. Has the weed killer soaked into the roots, after say 24 hours, to mow, or do I have to wait till the weed killer starts working (visibly)?

Also wondered: how does week killer know not to kill grass?

I live in a far away country no one has ever heard of, so we don't have Windex and such. Without suggesting product names, are there any household ways to get rid of lime on the bathroom mirror?

The kind that empties itself, with a digital readout. I want to buy it as a Fathers day gift so it has to be an actual store (not online).
