I am looking to build an outdoor shed to keep my chinchillas in, I've seen many people do it and I really need more space. I currently have six chinchillas and am planning on expanding my herd to atleast ten.
Since I live in Canada (where it gets snowy and cold) it would have to be insulated. I would need to to be heated in the winter and cooled in the summer. (I've been thinking solar) Any ideas of how I could go about doing this? Does anyone have any plans?
Any information will be appreciated. Thanks.

They are made of 2-3 (some have more) gray cylinder shells attached together (about an inch long and half an inch across) , with a hole on one end. When I first saw them, I thought yellow jacket or other wasp nest, but I haven't been able to locate any similar picture online to verify that. Without knowing what I am dealing with I am afaid to try to remove them. I am cleaning out the old camper for my children as a sort of playhouse for the summer, and would appreciate any information. Thank you.

I'm starting to have a snail problem in my backyard. Especially around my vegetables. I don't want to use pesticides. I heard that there are plants that if when snails eat them they don't like the taste or it'll kill them. Do those plants exist and what are they?

I got too excited about my first attempt at gardening and now the notoriously unpredictable weather in Oklahoma threatens to kill my plants.

I planted mostly herbs along with some strawberry, cayenne pepper and beefsteak tomato plants.

The strawberry plants and most of the herbs are fine, but some of the leaves on the basil, pepper and tomato plants are turning mushy and/or brown or black. I have covered them with buckets and bowls from the house to protect them from the cold, but they still look damaged.

All told, there have been three full days of cold temperatures and this is the fourth. It may be another day until temperatures return to normal. Is there any reason to believe that some or all of my plants will recover from this, or am I totally screwed?

Note: So far there's no serious damage to the stems, just the some of the leaves near the tops of the plants don't look so good.

My husband and I recycle everything and each week we have more recycables than trash, I wish more people would do this. It takes the same amount of time to throw something into a recycling bin as it does to throw it in the trash.

I live in a apartment block and my neighbour directly above is making a whole lot of problems for me and my family. What would you do if you have your upstairs neighbours singing karaoke from 5pm in the evening till 11.30pm at night when it is a Sunday and you need to sleep to get ready for work tomorrow? Besides, they are also fond of drilling / knocking of walls in the wee hours between 11pm to 2am. As I need 8 hours of sleep otherwise I will feel giddy the next day. I am under medication for hypertension so please don't tell me to see a doctor. I just need your honest reply as I have tolerated this for 3 years now (I live in an apartment for 9 years now).

I live with my maternal grandparents and my parents are split/remarried. I want to invite my maternal grandparents, mother/step-dad, dad, aunt/uncle (godparents), plus my paternal grandparents.

Here's the issue: my maternal grandparents want to invite only people from my mother's side, some of whom I really don't like being around and they never really contributed to my life in a positive way.

I need some good arguments in my favor, as I am 18 and a responsible and respectful person, but I don't want to cause a big issue over something so small.

Have you ever been to an Ace Hardware store? If so, where was it and how was your shopping experience there?

I seem to be surrounded by other peoples gardens so would like to plant something which grows quickly to give some screening (people could be offended by the sight of me sunbathing).

All of the sterling silver flatware chests that I see online and in stores look so small and only seem to accomodate the place settings.
