Problems with builder's mess whilst they are working at a neighbours property?

We Answered:

First of all, I would get to an ophthalmologist immediately. That paint chip could have scratched your cornea.

Yes he should clean up his mess. If he is using chemicals to strip paint, he should not be washing it onto the ground. Those chemicals are toxic and can get into the ground water.
Start taking pictures of the mess and damage.
Then talk to your local government agency that handles things like this.
Yes he should prevent his mess from traveling.
I would also talk to an attorney to find out what recourse you have. The attorney will know what the laws are regarding this.
And if your eye is damaged he should probably be paying the bills on that, too.

How have you observed SHADOW BANDS just before & after TOTALITY phase of solar eclipse on July 22, 2009?

We Answered:

I have observed shadow bands on 24th October 1995 total Solar eclipse
Just before totality. That eclipse lasted only 55 seconds and I was observing from a village 23kilometers from Alwar Rajastan in India.
We put a white cloth on the ground expecting this phenomenon.
Later when I checked the newspaper reports there was no mention about this phenomenon.

Melinda Said:

can the UV lamps of a solarium be used to disinfect a surface?

We Answered:

I would not use a UV lamp over bleach. If you have to buy a light brush to help break up the mold. I would also use a mask to prevent yourself from getting a fungi infection of some kind.
