My neighbor has a big tree and the branches hang over my lot line. Can I ask my neighbor to cut the branches back from the lot line? And what if the neighbor does not comply with the request? Does he have to do this?

I live in a brick ranch which is a very boring tan color. The roof is a light brown. It's all very neutral and boring. I want to paint my front door to add some color. The window in my front door has a covering over it which is in purple tones (so people can't see in). I was thinking of going with an eggplant color. One neighbor says it'll look good and the other said it won't. I also thought about going with a bronze color, but again, my neighbors said its too orange. Any ideas..... no Red please.

I have cleaned and shined my Pergo type wood floor (not Pergo name brand) in the bedroom to a nice shine. Now I need to know what to use on my dustmop to attract and hold the dust on a as needed basis. I am not sure how furniture dusting polish would do with my cleaner. I used "Orange-glo Wood Cleaner and Polish".

My daughter uses a TON of hairspray, and it makes the floor sooo sticky!! Using a regular Mr. Clean still leaves it sticky!!

I have a rental home that gets very musty in the summer. We have a dehumidifier running all the time and have air fresheners and stuff but I feel bad for some of the tenants who complain.

What else can we do to try to reduce the smell?

How do I check/test to see if my wires are ok? I have a multitester and seem to remember that you can test to see if wires are ok by their resistance somehow.

My apartment has a dishwasher (it was new when I moved in), but I have never used it. Now I'm wondering, is it bad for the diswasher not to be used? I'm talking 2-3 years never being used. Is it better to never use it, always use it, use it once in a while? I know this may be a stupid question, but since it belongs to the apartment complex, not me, I would like to take good care of it. Thanks.

I have my final walk through on my first home and am wondering what I am supposed to do. I know to test appliances, windows, doors, lights, etc., but what about things I find unsatisfactory. For example, there is trash in the shed that I want removed prior to closing - how do I ask for this? Do I ask for money back or demand it be done? What about smoke alarms - there are none in the house - can I ask that these be installed before closing?
