Other - Home & Garden (Home & Garden) - August 2006

I'm getting complaints about my compost heap. I have a family of 9. I have 6 kids and 2 wives. You could say that we're very "Earthy." Rather than waste water on our toilets, we have decided to simply go out to a compost pile and poop out there. We take all of our refuse from our family meals and add it to the heap as well. We have a menagerie of animals: 2 donkeys, 5 dogs, 13 cats, 1 iguana, 4 parrots, 1 llama, 1 rooster, 2 peacocks, and a chimpanzee. That's a lot of dung! We have started toting all of their crap over to the pile too. It's getting very smelly over by the pile. My youngest, Penelope, who is age 5, has refused to crap on the pile because it is too stinky. My son, Ezekiel, age 26, has refused to poo on the pile because he feels it is unsanitary. I have grounded them both and have started feeding them only bread and water until they decide to contribute. We need the poop for our crops to feed the family. I am very angry. Help?

How much does it cost to build a log home in Colorado?

I know that home-building costs vary greatly depending on the land, materials used, contractors, etc. I just want to get an idea of what it might cost us to build a 2000 sq ft log home in the mountains of Colorado. I'd love to hear from those of you who've had actual experience!

What are some questions that a renter should ask a landlord before signing?

I'd like to hear from actuall landlords if possible about renters rights and how they get around them. This thread http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20060824165657AA2txUU&r=w&pa=FZptHWf.BGRX3OFMhDJTVUUxPP5xQtnGaxPbw8HmZSxI0WKJG21haqyRJVqGLq73p824rz9.hm297nPPXA--&cp=8&tp=8#RMx7XmboWTX_xNX3i6YoxsMZbOg3FPkUA5xixSW_DF3xy3B6wUSp has me wondering about certain technicalities landords might include in the small print to gain them undesirable privelages.
So what are a list of questions that every renter should ask before signing an agreement?

Why do houses go up in value, and if you are never going to sell it, why worry about how much its worth?

that just means you have to pay higher taxes on it

Roaches!!! UGH?

I live in a fairly decent apartment complex. I keep my kitchen immaculate even to the point that I don't leave my trash can in the house. I went over to my cousin's apartment to reclaim some items that my grandmother gave her. She go evicted, left the apartment a wreck and the place was infested. Before I brought the items in to the house, I spayed them down with raid and cleaned them up. (so I thought) since then I've noticed I have major roaches. What's the best method to rid my apartment of them? Do bug bombs really work? I've been told boric acid as well. Help!
