Home & Garden

Two of my neighbors have a shared paved drive which leads to both of their stone driveways. During heavy rain, a whole bunch of water comes off my one neighbors driveway, down the paved drive, and goes off the side onto my property. It always washes stone into my lawn which I have to clean up and the excessive water makes it downhill and washes out my gravel drive. I want to install a berm so the water stays in the paved drive but don’t know if I can get in trouble for that

My choices are: -super glue, epoxy, silicone caulking Which should I use, any other suggestions? -Don’t want to screw it in

I live in a 4 unit condo, and our unit is the garden apartment that connects next door to the basement. Sometimes I like to open the basement window for ventilation, especially when I hang dry our clothes. But my upstairs neighbor is always nailing it shut! Is this even legal? I live in Illinois and I m not sure of the fire codes. FYI, this neighbor is a retiree and is constantly messing about with our building. I believe it s because of him we ve had to get our washer fixed several times because he s constantly pushing it up against the wall. Which folds the tubes in half, essentially breaking them. Thanks in advance.

Best answer: don't wash it so often will help.
Unless you are rolling around in the mud, or sweating like a pig when wearing it, it shouldn't need washing every week.

Best answer: Yup, a fireplace screen, designed to keep coals from popping out onto the floor.

If a contractor bids a project (let's say a bathroom), how are the materials (vanity, toilet, shower) shopped? Do I shop for ones I like, give him the product numbers and he goes and buys them?

If a contractor prices out a project and says (let s say) a vanity is $200 and labor is $150. But I find a vanity I like that s only $100, do I still have to pay $200 to the contractor? If it was $300, he d ask for the difference. So I should get the difference if it s lower, right?

Best answer: If you already have the rubber, use that. Wrap it around under the edge of the roof, and nail a strip of wood underneath to hold the rubber in place, so you do not make any holes in the top.

I used asphalt sheet on my shed. It comes in rolls, like shingles only in a a roll instead of individual ones.

keep losing power like every 10 minutes or some and my neighbor is not affected. The power come back on by itself. The breaker panel is not tripped. The power meter is also out from the power company. I also turned off air conditioner.....still doing it. what would be the reasons of this power outages

During the winter months I use this heater to warm my garage (350sqft) I attach a regular propane tank to the end for fuel. My question is - does the heater create enough carbon monoxide etc considering there is no outlet for exhaust to harm anybody? I just insulated the garage as well

I put a freshly cut tree stump inside my house on the carpet and it has molded to the carpet and when i try to pry it up it takes all the carpet with it ripping it

i hate maggots, its laid by mosquitos and houseflys, while butterflies only make caterpillars that eat plant

Best answer: Your photo is a little blurry, so I'm offering two choices:
