Just the other day the city came by and put on a black coating on the road infront of my house. I had to go somewhere that evening. While driving on the semi-fresh coating, I could hear lots of small gravel fly up and hit the undercarriage/sides/step boards of my car. It's a couple days later and black gravel is coated on, like I had just gone mudding - albeit not quite as bad.

How do I safely get this stuff off without hurting the paint?

we need help getting rid of mosquetoes. I know citronella in a mower while cutting grass helps but how much? In a riding mower? In a hand mower?

all of the other sinks in my house have their own separate water shut off valves, I have looked both inside and outside the house and have not been able to find a main water shut off valve to the whole house.

I want to put a simple wood shelf/ledge up on the wall. How many brackets would I need for 11 foot length plank of wood (about 7 inch wide)? The shelf will hold picture frames, nothing extremely heavy.

I live near Atlanta, GA where we are suffering a drought so bad we can't water our lawns. Water wells are easy to get permitted around here and aren't subject to restrictions. It would cost about $7,000 to have a professional put in a well. Can I put in my own and save some. How deep will I have to drive the pipe? Where can I get the equipment?

I heard there was something harmful in the paint to human beings. One should open the window to let the air out before moving in. Is it true and how long should I wait before moving in?

Everytime this one dude comes over to my place I find hairs in my food and in my cooking utensils. How the F&$K can I stop this from happening? Because of things that happened in my childhood I have a hangup of taking forks out from the silverware drawer and holding them all up to the light to make sure there are no pieces of food/matter in between the tines, then I pick the cleanest looking one. I have lunch everyday about 1:00 and so as I was fixing my lunch I opened the silverware drawer and took the forks out to inspect them and behold at the bottom of the tray there is about 3 hairs laying there. I freaked.
I realize there are people out there who have bigger problems than this.
I don't, however. All I want is a simple piece of advice or maybe a few tips and my problems will be over. Tanx
