I've always wondered; we have gas riding mowers nowadays and it still takes a lot of time to do mowing. How did the pioneers mow grass? Did grazing animals take care of it, was it all done by simple machines or what?

We live in Wyoming and our land is at at 8000+ feet, so snow load is a consideration. We are a couple, grown kids, so just the 2 of us, so we don't need a ton of room, but want to be comfortable -trying to decide what size yurt, too. Also considering a year-round tipi - so anyone with experiences there to share I would appreciate. There are several larger manufacturers of ready-to-build yurts - we sould be purchasing one of these. I know that you can buy plans and build your own from scratch, but that's not what we are planning to do.

I live in Cleveland, Ohio and have a vinyl lined in ground pool. It is 18 X 36 and anywhere from 3 feet deep to 10-12 feet in the deep end. Can we drain the pool and have it empty during the winter time? I have heard that pool walls may collapse if it was empty. Is this true? We plan on emptying and starting fresh in the next season, just curious if we could empty it now.

something caught my eye this morning, mice! more than 1 i'm sure. i moved a vase and the brick underneath opened quite a large hole. i don't want anyone to get bit, or sick. Is it a good idea to keep my kids and animals out of the house?

I later found that my foot has swollen badley and seems to reduce when in bed but increase when walking around, this has been four days now and the swelling does not seem to go. any similar experiences out there in the UK>

Badgers have started to come into my parents garden at night and eat the left over bird bread. We think this is because it is so hot they are having trouble finding their usual food (worms e.t.c.) We want to help them out, so nutritionally what would be the best food to give them?
Are there going to be any negative consequences of doing this?
Thanks.
Are there any other ways to help wildlife in this weather?

Wife and I bought lots of IKEA furniture, thinking it's well-made, simple, inexpensive stuff. Month later, it's coming apart! Bed, dresser are the main sources of ire.
