These squirrels are real terrorists in my area. I am in a typical
urban neighbourhood with houses close together. The neighbours feed them and provide them with water, but they still come to my yard and attack my corn, my green tomatoes, and even chew on my lawn furniture.

Frankly, I am amazed that with such a sweet life (plenty of free food every day and plenty of water) they still go after my plants. Even the neighbours that feed them have problems with the beasties eating their plants! How can sense of gratitude be installed into the ungrateful squirrels who abandoned the path or virtual life and decided on becoming hooligans and terrorists?

The electrical receptacle is on a plasterboard wall, the back of which is in a closet. I want to place another electrical recptacle in that closet, and would like to use the electrical connection that is already on the wall.

Thus, I would have 2 electrical receptacles back to back.

Can this be done? I'm fairly handy, and can do it myself with a little help from my friends.

I need a few shades of yellow for my bathroom. The shades in the Home Depot don't work. So figured I would just ask here and look up the color on the internet and buy the paint from there. thanks!

Does anyone have a suggestion for the best bathroom exhaust fan? I have a Home Depot close to home and would like to find it there or at Loews. Looking for something nice looking and quiet, but powerful. Going to be installed in the ceiling and probably out through the attic ridge vent? Not through the wall.

Thank you

Don't worry I have already made a complaint and I urge you to do the same, so we can get filth like this removed from a family catalogue. Please only view if you are not easily shocked.

We had accident that tap water from laudry room overflowed our entire unit and it also wet my downstair neighbour's one of the bed rooms. We felt very sorry so apart from telling him how sorry we are numerous times, we hired carpet cleaner/specialist to remove water, hired fan dryer for 3 days, bought him carpet spray in case if it smells, and also re-laid carpet to ensure everything is ok. The carpet specialist told me it's absolutely fine and nothing damaged. My neighbour today knocked our door and said he will bill me for his wage because he coudln't work for 1 and half day. whereas we only saw him had half day off, and when I ask him why is it 1 and half day, he can't even answer me.
Will you pay him his wage? He was repeatdly saying that he'd bill me whenever he saw me for last 5 days and he never even said a word to tell me how sorry he is for damage in our place. He could let the carpet dry alone and goes to work instead of having a day off valuntarily. What do you think?

Everywhere I look, a queen sheet set has a standard/double size flat sheet. Pillow cases are either regular or king size.

we had a kitchen floor put in, but the guys rushed at the end and put the fridge and oven on it before it was fully dry. So now we have a few tiles that are loose, and the grout between them is starting to crack. Do I need to replace the thin-set underneath these tiles or can I just regrout around them? Or would a grout sealer do the trick? Thanks for your thoughts.

If there is a standard rule can anyone please advise and we can check on our plans to see if they are deep enough before we go ahead. Any advice is much appreciated.
