Other - Home & Garden - November 2006

My husband and I are interested in buying a home in Southwest Ohio, we already live in the area. The house we are looking at was built in 1835 and is rumored to have been a stop along the covered wagon trail. To the residents of the town the house is known as "the post house". We have tried and can't find anything on it period.
It's not going to matter wheter we can find the info or not. I would just love to be able to read about some of the homes past.
If anyone on here is from Preble County in Ohio maybe you can help me. We have looked at historical sites and even done a search of the address and I am getting nothing. I appreciate anything anyone can come up with. The name of a web site, a library, any of it. Thanks

My daughter has mice/squirrels in her apartment walls.
Someone told her to use fox lure, but I never heard of this.
Any suggestions or opinions on the use of fox lure?

I've always used a conventional chipper/shredder to mulch leaves. Mine broke and I'm going to replace it. The new leaf vacuums (the big rolling monsters that Sears sells for $500+) sound good. How well do they work with a LOT of leaves. We have 80 year old trees and get buried.

I found some bugs in the soil so I was told to let the soil dry up, remove any leaves and they would die, well now my ficus is dead! The branches are very dry and snap right off, with no leaves. The bottom of the plant is still trying to grow. The leaves that are on the plant are very soft and rubbery. What can I do to save my plant?

I paid £3499 for a fridge freezer from a leading retailer on 14/7, their website said there were more that 10 in stock. I asked for delivery in August and was told this was fine. I then discovered that they were custom made abroad and would take 8 weeks, I complained and was lent a small fridge. In September, they delivered a fridge that was the wrong model. Two weeks later, they delivered the right model, but badly damaged. 3 weeks after that, they delivered the right model, but managed to smash the glass during delivery. 2 weeks ago, they delivered another one while I wasn't there and left it in the dining room (plumbing it in was inclusive in price). Last week, they came back and while putting it in the kitchen, they damaged 6 of my floor tiles. They say they will fix the floor. Now, they have promised I am to receive compensation, but will not discuss the amount until after everything is resolved - they had my money for 4 months - what would you say is fair compensation?

I have a brick veneer home in Queensland, Australia and lately (we are going into summer) there have been a lot of bees buzzing around near my front door. I've been watching them and they are going into small holes in the mortar between the bricks. I have a garden tap very near the spot they are entering the wall. Why are they doing this and do I have a big bee hive in the wall of my house?! Is there any way I can get rid of them without hurting them or any other insects - don't really want to use pesticide because of small lizards etc! I need to get rid of them as I have a friend who visits regularly and she is allergic to bees and I really don't want her going into anaphylactic shock on my doorstep!! Hope someone can help with a genuine answer!! Thank you and have a fab weekend! :)
