We've tried chicken wire and many other various methods to no avail. Extermination is an option but chemicals are not.

My neighbors next door have a lawn company come at 7AM once a week (in the spring and summer ) to cut their lawn. I asked them nicely if they could have them come later in the day because they are waking up my 1 and 2 year old girls very early in the morning. They told me to mind my own business and got very upset. I then called the lawn company and explained the situation and they said the time they cut customer's lawns was totally up to the homeowner. I then called the township to complain and was SHOCKED to find that the code allows contractors to start work at 7AM on Mon - Sat - including lawn companies. It seems there is little I can do - but with my neighbor's house just 10 feet from my house it sure does make it tough. Even with the windows closed the sound of the professional lawn mowers come right through and wake up my babies. What do you think I should do?

We don't want to replace the floor. Is there anything we can do to fix the spots that are buckling? I have one area in my back bedroom that looks like a small hill.

I got some pajamas for Christmas and the shirt is so static-y that my hair stands up and it practically stuck to me. I tried putting it in the dryer but that didn't get rid of it. Can anyone help?

Chop saw? Table saw? Router? etc. Or would just an old fashioned hammer and chissle be best?
Merry Christmas.

I am in real trouble. I used my wife's favorite coffee cup (really a plastic 12 ounce beer stein) to soak some dirty flatware over night in a detergent solution and now even though we have washed it in the dishwasher she still tastes the detergent.

It is gas it was here when I moved in and all I have had before is something you set on heat and move the lever over to how hot you want the house to be . This one is not like that I do not know if the fan has to be on with the heat is does the unit outside need to come on when the heat in the house comes on . Why is their cold air comming out of the vents when it is on with the fan . I know nothing about if it is water I know nothing about it at all that is why I am trying to find out how to set it.

Can you name some famous gardens in the world? Where are they? Why are they famous? Whatever you can tell me about them would help.

how can you simply shrink a cotton tshirt? mines slightly too big and I'd like a smaller, tighter fit.

Can you just tumble dry it at a high temperature? any ideas?

house was built new 11 years ago. But as the years went on I started to notice a strange smell. I have difficulty describing it exactly, it is vague, yet strong enough to definately notice it. it is kinda like a mixture of rotten food, musty, stale dank air, and a small fart. I know it sounds weird. This is the only way I could describe it. its not just one particular odor and its so vague that it is hard to say what the smell is. I am a very clean person. There is NO food or garbage left out ever. There is no pet allowed in this room. I am the only person who sleeps here. I clean, dust, vacume, wash the sheets, everything top to bottom once a week. I have tried burning candles. Yet this smell keeps coming back. Usually it is most noticeable after I have been gone all day, then come home to a smelly room. I tried leaving windows open for entire day to air out. But now it is winter, and I can not do that. Seems to be stronger when the weather is damp. See additional details.
