Differences in Culture
Are Yucca and Cassava Poison?
Content: Yucca plants also require full sun, but tolerate partial shade and adapt to a variety of soil conditions, although they prefer rich, moist soils. Yuccas may be propagated from seeds, or grown from rhizomes, stem cuttings or from offsets taken from established plants. A distinct difference between cassava plants and yucca plants is how each is pollinated. While cassava may be pollinated by a variety of insects, yucca has a mutualistic relationship with the yucca moth. In this relationship, the yucca plant is only pollinated by this moth and one cannot survive without the other. Are Yucca and Cassava Poison? While parts of both plants are edible, cassava roots must go through thorough processing due to the presence of toxic components such as cyanogenic glucocides, linamarin and lotaustralin. All parts of the cassava plant contain cyanogenic glucosides, but the highest concentrations are in the leaves, and these are toxic to both human and animals. Yucca plants are not as toxic as cassava, but the roots of Buckley’s yucca (Yucca constricta) contain saponins, which can be mildly toxic to humans. However, they’re usually poorly absorbed by the body and do not cause irritation unless a person is allergic to them. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cassava-yucca-same-58761.html |

What Causes Watermelon End Rot? Your garden is a little private paradise, a place for you to escape from the scary, loud world. Flowers are beautiful additions to any landscape, but there's something incredibly rewarding about growing your own produce. As relaxing and gratifying as it can be at times, gardening can also be a huge strain, especially when blossom end rot takes over your watermelons (Citrullus lanatus). Tip
Blossom end rot in watermelons is caused by a lack of water and access to calcium when the plant is fruiting. Treat this by ensuring the plant always has adequate water and adjusting the soil pH to optimize watermelon growth. Blossom End Rot on Watermelon
Blossom end rot is a common problem of watermelons, caused by a severe lack of available calcium during fruiting, notes the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service. Because calcium is relatively immobile once taken up by a plant, it's difficult for a watermelon vine to redistribute this nutrient to newly developing fruits. Even if calcium was readily available at the beginning of the season, water stress can force the majority of calcium circulating in plant tissues into the leaves due to rapid transpiration. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/causes-watermelon-end-rot-80225.html |

Home Cleaning
By Kathy Adams
A grease fire results in cleaning issues beyond just the area where the fire originated. As smoke permeates the room, it leaves behind an odor or even a residue on surrounding walls and the ceiling that may go unnoticed until you get close to the affected areas. In some cases the residue and odor can be removed with household substances, but in severe cases, specialty supplies do the trick. Vinegar: Odor Eater
Regular white vinegar removes odors and cleans the ceiling and walls a bit in the process. Dip a sponge or cloth into a bowl of vinegar, wringing out most of the liquid; then wipe down the entire surface of each wall and ceiling in the room. Open the windows or turn on a ceiling fan to hasten the drying process, if desired. If the odor persists, give the room a second vinegar wipe-down treatment. Heavy-Duty Cleaner
Smoke residue clings to walls and ceilings after a grease fire, meaning every inch of those surfaces requires cleaning. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/clean-smoke-walls-floors-after-grease-fires-94525.html |

Smoke residue clings to walls and ceilings after a grease fire, meaning every inch of those surfaces requires cleaning. If the walls or ceiling feel greasy or sooty, a treatment with TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) gets them clean once again. Mix a tablespoon of TSP into a gallon of warm water in a bucket and drop a large sponge into the water. Another bucket full of clean water with its own sponge is necessary as well, as the TSP has to be wiped back off the surfaces quickly to prevent paint discoloration. While wearing rubber gloves and eye protection, wring most of the liquid out of the sponge and scrub the surfaces, cleaning small areas at a time; then wipe down the same areas using the water-dampened sponge as a rinse. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/clean-smoke-walls-floors-after-grease-fires-94525.html |

A Chemical Sponge Solution
A special type of sponge is designed specifically to remove soot and stains related to smoke damage after a fire. While it’s called a sponge, it works more like an eraser when you rub it over dry walls to remove marks. Rub down the ceiling, overlapping strokes slightly with the chemical sponge until the entire ceiling has been treated; then work on the walls, cleaning from the top down, as the sponge may drop a bit of debris in the process. When the sponge appears dirty, slice the dirty areas away with a utility knife to reveal a fresh surface. Room Refresher
To help get the entire room smelling fresh once again while you're cleaning the walls and ceiling, open the windows and utilize fans to allow the smelly air to flow out and the fresh air to get back in. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/clean-smoke-walls-floors-after-grease-fires-94525.html |

If it's cold outdoors, pin a tarp or blanket over entryways leading to other rooms, keeping the cool air contained to the affected room. Take any fabrics, such as drapes or chair cushions, outdoors to air out and wash items that are machine washable; otherwise, the room may still smell of smoke even after you’ve cleaned. ‒‒:‒‒

Troubleshoot, Fix and Repair
By Heath Roberts
Sometimes it's necessary to have a quick way of access the inside of a wall, where plumbing and electrical connections are located. The best way to accomplish this is by installing an access panel that has a clean look but allows you to access the inner wall. Cutting out the hole for the access panel is the most important step in the process, as the hole needs to be square and the correct size to give a polished appearance. 1
Press an electric stud finder against the wall to locate the studs behind the drywall. Use a pencil to mark the location between two studs where you want to install your access panel. 2
Cut a small pilot hole about 2 inches wide using a drywall saw. Shine a flashlight into the hole to make sure the panel will access the desired space. 3
Place the frame of the access panel against the wall between the two pencil marks that show the location of the studs. Place a small bubble level on top of the frame and align the frame so that it sits square on the wall. Get the Best Mortgage Rate for You | SmartAsset.com

How to Cut Baseboards Without Removing Them From the Wall
Whether you’re installing a new cabinet or another large unit, such as a bookcase, in an existing room, you should remove the section of baseboard behind the unit so it fits snugly against the wall. Most of the time, the baseboard comes off with ease and you can cut it and refit it after the unit is in place. But in the case of large, multi-piece baseboard, or a baseboard that’s glued or otherwise stuck to the wall, you can cut out just one section while the baseboard is still in place. Measuring and Cutting
The old carpenter adage, “measure twice – cut once,” is applicable when cutting any type of existing finish trim. When you can’t remove the baseboard, which is optimal, it’s best to err on the side of making the cut a little too snug, because you can always remove a little more if necessary. Position the unit you’re installing in front of the baseboard to visually verify your measurements. With the unit against the wall, you can place a straightedge along the bottom on each side when marking the baseboard for the cut lines. Oscillating Tool
There are consumer-grade oscillating tools on the market that cut through wood using a vibrating blade. This is probably the safest method for cutting through the baseboard without damaging the drywall behind it or the floor beneath it. By aligning the blade with the cut line on the baseboard and using a light touch, the oscillating tool will gradually cut through the baseboard. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cut-baseboards-removing-wall-38764.html |

Use a handheld cutting tool to make straight cuts in drywall that has already been installed. To do this, you'll need a multipurpose cutting bit. Set the blade depth to about 1/8 inch more than the thickness of the drywall so you don't make deep cuts in the studs or contact any wires or pipes that may be behind the wall. 5
Draw the line on the surface of the drywall with a straightedge and pencil. Plunge the blade of the cutting tool into the drywall at one end of the line and push it slowly to the other end. ‒‒:‒‒

Home Maintenance
By Alexis Rohlin
Moldings are used to cover the area where the floor meets the wall. They are installed over the edge of the flooring and rest against the bottom part of the wall, making it difficult to remove the flooring without damaging the molding. By cutting the flooring flush or directly next to the walls, you can safely remove old flooring and keep your molding or toe-kicks. This allows you to reuse your molding or toe-kicks and save money for your remodeling budget. 1
Put on safety glasses. Set the blade of the toe-kick saw on the floor so that it is flush or right next to the wall where you need to cut the old flooring. 2
Firmly hold onto the forward handle with your left hand and the rear handle with your right. Press and hold the safety button and then pull the trigger switch to start the motor of the toe-kick saw. When the motor starts, let go of the safety button. 3
Move the blade of the toe-kick saw slowly forward and away from you while you cut the old flooring close to the wall. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cut-old-flooring-next-walls-25403.html |

Many remodeling projects require cutting plaster walls for medicine cabinets, electrical boxes, plumbing lines or air conditioning grills. In some cases, an opening is cut or enlarged when installing a new window or door. Unless you have a set of building plans or are familiar with the most likely locations of electrical conduits and pipes in walls, it’s necessary to take special care. Home improvement enthusiasts can use a method that has proved safe when cutting plaster and lath. 1
Switch off the breaker at the electrical panel that serves the room where the opening will be cut. Turn off the water supply to the house or building at the main valve. Spread a dropcloth on the floor at the area of the new opening. 2
Measure from the floor or ceiling and mark the location for top and bottom of the opening on the plaster with a pencil. Measure from a corner, a door or window and mark the sides of the opening. Use a framing square and a pencil to make straight lines between the marks that define the opening. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cut-open-plaster-lath-walls-34029.html |

Hold the saw so the handle is close to the surface of the wall instead of perpendicular as you insert the tip of the blade in a recess in the plaster. By holding the saw at this angle, the tip of the blade glides over any framing members inside the wall. Cut along one of the pencil lines. 5
Cut the remaining lines of the outline in the same way. Remove the cutout portion of plaster and lath with a hammer. Remove any lath nails in the framing with a nail bar. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cut-open-plaster-lath-walls-34029.html |

Troubleshoot, Fix and Repair
By Bob Haring
Making a new doorway, adding an interior window or creating a pass-through from a kitchen to an eating area requires cutting an opening in a wall of your house. That is easier with interior walls, which usually are not load-bearing or supporting the roof, but it still requires remodeling and carpentry skill. It also will create a lot of dust and debris, so seal off other parts of the house and cover all furniture, counters or other objects. Check local building codes, too, as some remodeling requires a permit, especially if any utilities must be moved. 1
Locate the wall studs around the opening with a stud finder and outline the area you want to open. Use a tape measure, level and chalk line to snap horizontal lines at the top and bottom of the opening and vertical lines on the center of the studs outside the opening. Go one full stud width on each side beyond the opening; 64 inches, for instance, for a planned 32-inch door or window to allow for new wall covering. 2
Cut a small hole through the drywall or other wall covering on one side of the wall with a drywall saw. Create "snap" lines in drywall by slicing scoring marks along the lines, so you can break loose drywall or other covering. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cut-opening-interior-nonbearing-wall-20799.html |

Create "snap" lines in drywall by slicing scoring marks along the lines, so you can break loose drywall or other covering. Place the vertical lines in the center of a stud to leave space to fasten new drywall when the opening is complete. Pry wall covering loose with a pry bar, working in small sections. 3
Check for electrical or other utility lines as soon as you can see into the wall cavity. Remove all lines; call a plumber, electrician or gas company to have lines moved. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cut-opening-interior-nonbearing-wall-20799.html |

Content: Nail them to the cut bottoms of studs above the header, using a level to set the header level. Add similar horizontal braces or sills of single 2-by-4s at the bottom of a window or pass-through opening. 7
Measure with a tape measure from the bottom of the header to the bottom wall plate or sill plate and cut studs to fit, to support the header. Plumb them with a level and nail them to the outside studs. Nail sills to cut stud ends below the opening for a window or pass-through. Cut off the bottom plate of a wall inside the studs for a doorway. 8
Install any door or other window and replace the drywall or other covering on both sides of the wall. ‒‒:‒‒

Duck under the drywall panel to the other side of the wall. From this vantage point, you can clearly see both the framed doorway and the backside of the drywall panel. 5
Cut the drywall, using the inside of the framed doorway as a guide. Use a sharp utility knife, and cut about halfway through the drywall panel on all three sides framed by the doorway. 6
Tap two nails through the backside of the drywall panel -- one at each top corner where the lines you just cut meet. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cut-out-around-doorway-installing-drywall-22726.html |

Tap two nails through the backside of the drywall panel -- one at each top corner where the lines you just cut meet. Nail size doesn’t matter, but the nails should be long enough to protrude on the other side of the drywall. 7
Step back through to the other side, and locate the two nails. Hook the end of a chalk line at the bottom of the drywall panel directly below one of the nails and run the chalk line straight up, winding it around the nail, running it over to the other nail and then to the bottom of the drywall. Snap all three sides of the chalk line to transfer cutting guides to the face of the drywall. 8
Cut the front side of the drywall panel with the utility knife, using the chalk lines as guides. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cut-out-around-doorway-installing-drywall-22726.html |

Troubleshoot, Fix and Repair
By Karie Lapham Fay
When it comes to reinventing your home, one of the simplest changes you can make is to cut out half of a wall and cap the exposed end. Older homes, especially, often feature almost a maze of rooms connected to either each other or running off a hallway. Modern homes, in contrast, seek to connect rooms spatially and visually. Not only does removing half of a wall accomplish this, but it makes the whole house appear larger from inside. It's almost like having a brand new home, once you're finished. 1
Verify that the wall is not load-bearing before beginning. If the wall runs directly above a floor joist, or parallel to and within 2 or 3 feet, suspect a load-bearing wall. A doubled top wall plate or a door header made from wood wider than a two-by-four are other clues. Consult a professional for further information. 2
Pull furniture back away from the wall, leaving plenty of work space on both sides of the wall. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cut-out-half-wall-32095.html |

Turn off the power flowing to the rooms on either side of the removed wall. Use a lamp or other portable electrical item to verify the rooms are dead. Run an extension cord from a live outlet in another area to supply power to your tools. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cut-out-half-wall-32095.html |

Measure and mark one side of the wall to show the new opening. Start from the end of the wall and measure back at the top, center and bottom of the wall to create a cut guide. Repeat, measuring over the length of the opening, if the removal is in the middle of a wall. Use a level to ensure the line is plumb, or straight up and down. 5
Slice through the wall sheathing with a utility knife or a reciprocating saw, depending on the material. Cut at the top, where it joins the ceiling, and along any vertical cut lines. Avoid going too deep, to prevent damaging any plumbing, ducts or wires inside the wall. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cut-out-half-wall-32095.html |

Draw the rough outline of a rectangular area on the wall that completely encloses the damaged section that needs repair, using a pencil. Measure the length and width of this area with a tape measure. 3
Transfer the measurements to the sheet of drywall and cut out a rectangle, using a utility knife. The most efficient way to cut drywall is to score the front of the sheet with the knife. Run it along a drywall T square or straightedge, snap the sheet along the cut line and cut the backing to separate the pieces. Get the Best Mortgage Rate for You | SmartAsset.com

Content: Remove the drywall. Put on a dust mask. Cut all the way through the plaster along the pencil lines with a knife. Keep a vacuum handy for dust removal. 5
Chip the plaster from inside the rectangle with a painter's three-in-one tool or use a stiff putty knife. Collect the plaster pieces in a garbage bag for disposal. 6
Smooth the edges of the repair, then set the drywall inside the rectangle and screw it in place with 1 1/4-inch drywall screws. Space the screws about 6 inches apart around the edges and about 12 inches apart in the center of the rectangle. 7
Lay drywall tape around the edges of the drywall. You can use paper or fiberglass mesh tape for this. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cut-plaster-walls-repair-drywall-100105.html |

How to Cut & Replant Yucca
Yuccas ( Yucca spp., USDA zones 4 through 11) are easily propagated in a number of ways, including rooting semihardwood stem cuttings, usually taken from midsummer to early fall from the current season's growth, or offsets, which may be separated from the mother plant year-round. Choose from species that you can grow indoors as houseplants, like spineless yucca ( Yucca elephantipes ), which also grows outdoors in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 10, or those that develop sharp terminal spines and thus aren't suitable as houseplants, such as Adam's needle ( Yucca filamentosa ), which can reach up to 8 feet tall in USDA zones 5 through 10. Water the Yucca
Liberally watering the yucca the day before taking a cutting allows the stem, also called a cane, to be well hydrated and better able to withstand the stress of being removed from the plant. Prepare the Mix
Pick a commercial potting mix that drains quickly and is especially made for cacti and succulents or make your own by combining 3 parts peat and 1 part sand. Get the Best Mortgage Rate for You | SmartAsset.com

Wear long sleeves and gloves when working around yuccas to protect yourself from the spiny, daggerlike tips of the leaves that may be present on some species. Cut Stem Segments
Use a clean, sharp knife or garden pruners to cut off one or more 2 1/2- to 3-inch segments from anywhere on the stem. Tip
Get in the habit of sterilizing the blades of your pruning shears or garden scissors with rubbing alcohol or alcohol wipes before and after using them to reduce the risk of spreading diseases from one plant to another. Mark the Cuttings
Using a felt-tip pen, mark the basal portion or the part of the stem that was growing nearer to the base of the plant. This will help you plant the stem segment correctly; if you plant it upside-down, it won't grow. Plant the Cuttings
Place the cuttings about 1/4 to 1/2 inch into the potting mix, making sure that the basal end is in the soil. Any potting container will do as long as it's clean and has drainage holes at the base. If you don't want to repot the cuttings once they take root, plant them individually in pots where they can grow until it's time to move them to the garden or to slightly larger pots. Keep in mind that like other succulents, yucca roots prefer to be somewhat crowded in their pots. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cut-replant-yucca-35626.html |

Grow newly rooted yuccas in individual pots using a potting medium especially designed for succulents and cacti or, after four weeks, plant the cuttings in your yard in well-drained, sandy soil. Outdoor yuccas need a minimum of six hours of direct sunlight daily and grow well in areas that receive full sun or partial shade. Situate houseplants in a bright location such as a south- or west-facing window. Water indoor yuccas when the top inch of potting soil is dry and let it dry completely before watering again. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cut-replant-yucca-35626.html |

For outdoor plants, apply water about every two to three weeks, allowing the ground to dry between waterings. Cut back on water in winter for both outdoor and indoor plants when they aren't growing vigorously and give them only enough water to keep their leaves from drooping. Yuccas in the landscape generally don't require fertilizer, but you can feed houseplants monthly during the growing season with an all-purpose liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to one-quarter strength. Warning
Be aware that yuccas are toxic to dogs, cats and horses. Don't locate them where those animals might eat the leaves. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cut-replant-yucca-35626.html |

Troubleshoot, Fix and Repair
By Tim Anderson
Remodeling an existing tile installation on a wall isn’t the ideal scenario in which homeowners want to find themselves, but it is something most do-it-yourselfers run into in at least one room over the years. Whether you need to repair a tile or mount a towel bar or some other feature, there are moments when you will need to cut through existing wall tile without removing an entire wall. There are a number of modern tools you can use, depending on the circumstance. 1
Measure for your cutout to determine how much tile you need to remove. Choose the proper tool for the job. For example, cut holes with a core bit; remove large sections of tile with a handheld circular saw; cut singular pieces and odd-sized cuts with a rotary tool. 2
Cut a hole in a tile by placing the pilot section of the core bit at the center of your cutout. Pull the trigger on the drill and apply pressure to the drill bit to push it into the face of the tile. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cut-tile-wall-39397.html |

Troubleshoot, Fix and Repair
By Wade Shaddy
Wall paneling should be cut using special blades and techniques to ensure that it doesn't chip. Care should also be taken to maintain a square 90-degree profile retaining straight, vertical lines that are highly visible. You can add some character to your home by adding wainscoting made from paneling or even adding paneling to a section of wall for an accent. You should always use a table saw to cut paneling. Blade Selection
Install a panel-cutting blade, a laminate blade or a cabinetmaker's crosscut blade on a table saw. Raise the blade to 1 inch from the tip of the highest tooth, to the point where the blade emerges from the table. Saw blades are the biggest problem when cutting paneling. The wrong blade will chip and splinter the delicate edges of paneling. Most table saw blades are designed to cut fast and deep. They have teeth that tear and slice wood. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cut-wall-paneling-24981.html |

Home Maintenance
By Wade Shaddy
You might need to cut a hole in an interior wall to access plumbing or wiring, to locate a stud or to install a fixture. Drywall -- which is routine on interior walls -- is simple to cut. Take your time, check things before you cut and don't use too much force so that you minimize damage to the wall. The procedure is basically the same if your wall is paneled or something other than drywall. 1
Run a stud finder that will also locate pipes along the wall to locate any studs or plumbing that might be in the wall. Use a noncontact voltage tester to locate any wires. Use the information to plan the location of the desired hole. 2
Draw the hole on the wall in the desired location. Use a utility knife to score the wall around the hole to a depth of 1/4 inch to prevent tearing or chipping. 3
Cut the hole using an oscillating tool with a circular blade. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cutting-small-hole-interior-wall-85836.html |

Cut the hole using an oscillating tool with a circular blade. Adjust the blade to cut only deep enough to cut through the drywall or paneling. If there's drywall and paneling together, plan on cutting through both pieces together. If you don't have an oscillating tool, install a hole saw into a drill/driver, and cut through the drywall or paneling the same way. Get the Best Mortgage Rate for You | SmartAsset.com

Grasp the oscillating tool with your hand. Turn it on and ease the blade into the wall at the bottom of the drawing. When the base of the tool contacts the wall, push the tool along, following the line along one side to the top. Pull the blade out. Start at the bottom again and follow the line to the top. If you're using a hole saw, center the bit on the drawing, turn on the drill and use constant pressure to bore through the drywall or paneling. 5

Content: Determine Wall Stud Height
Lay two 2-by-4 boards on top of each sill plate, and measure the distance between the boards and the bottom of the ceiling joists where the walls are being built. This determines the height of the wall studs. Cut Top and Bottom Boards
Cut a top and bottom plate with the circular saw for each wall from the untreated 2-by-4s. These are the top and bottom boards of the walls. Cut Wall Studs
Measure and cut wall studs from the non-pressure-treated 2-by-4s. Cut enough studs for each wall so that they're placed no more than 16 inches apart. Frame Non-Door Walls
Frame the walls without the door by nailing a 2-by-4 into each end of the bottom plate to form a "U." Nail studs into the bottom plate between the two end studs, keeping them no more than 16 inches apart. Nail the top plate to the tops of the studs. When nailing the framing together, drive two nails through the top or bottom plate into the ends of each stud. The wall frames are assembled lying flat on the ground, and are raised up and placed onto the sill plates when you are ready to raise them. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/enclose-furnace-room-28388.html |

Content: A property changing hands due to a foreclosure is not considered a valid reason. Foreclosure vs. Eviction
Foreclosures and evictions are two separate procedures. Some owners may confuse the Note of Default or Note of Sale of a foreclosure as eviction orders. However, lenders cannot evict the owners of a property until they complete the foreclosure sale. According to California's Department of Real Estate's Homeowner's Guide To Foreclosure in California, homeowners should only make plans to move out of their home after the foreclosure sale and the eviction process are concluded. Foreclosure Eviction Timeline
Once a property forecloses, the new owner is entitled to take possession of the house. Specific laws regulating the timeline of a foreclosure eviction vary from state to state and depend on whether the home is occupied by the former homeowner or a tenant. In Washington state the former homeowner has 20 days to leave a property after a foreclosure. If the former owner does not leave, the buyer will have to file an eviction action, also called an unlawful detainer. In California, state law allows the new owner to issue a three-day notice to quit the property. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/foreclosure-eviction-process-9047.html |

Troubleshoot, Fix and Repair
By Karie Lapham Fay
Never be afraid to cut open an interior wall, provided it's a partition wall that doesn't support the load above. It's one of those things that can totally transform your room, and it doesn't require any space. Simply cutting through the wall and tearing it to the size you want won't work, however. Instead, the opening needs a frame, like the border on a painting. Take your time to plan the opening carefully, and follow a few preparatory steps for safety's sake. It's the perfect job for a weekend. 1
Plot the wall cutout location. Tap the wall to find the studs running through the wall vertically. Mark the studs on either side of the desired cutout. Drive a finishing nail through the wall sheathing in several spots, vertically, to verify the stud along the entire length. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/frame-wall-cutout-33147.html |

Drive a finishing nail through the wall sheathing in several spots, vertically, to verify the stud along the entire length. Alternatively, extend or reduce the opening width as desired instead of using the existing studs. Although using them makes the job easier, you can install new ones to frame the opening instead. 2
Hold a level up against the wall and check to ensure that your width measurement marks are plumb, if you choose not to use one or both existing studs on either side of the cutout. Adjust as necessary to achieve plumb, then use the level as a straightedge to draw a dark line through the marks. Extend up to the ceiling and down to the floor on both sides of the cutout. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/frame-wall-cutout-33147.html |

Cut through the wall sheathing along the vertical cut marks. Use a utility knife, drywall saw or jigsaw as preferred. Work carefully, cutting just deep enough to slice through the material without cutting into anything inside the wall or through the studs. Watch for electrical wire, duct work or other items as you work. If you spot anything, stop immediately and pull the sheathing away instead to avoid cutting through it. Either push the object out of the way, relocate the cutout slightly to avoid it or consult a professional to reroute it instead. 5
Remove the sheathing on the opposite side of the stud wall similarly. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/frame-wall-cutout-33147.html |

Remove the sheathing on the opposite side of the stud wall similarly. Work from inside the wall if you prefer. Since the wall is only about 4 inches thick, cutting through from the inside is often easier than matching the opening from the other side of the wall. 6
Measure up, from the bottom of the wall, to the bottom of the cutout location on each stud that runs through the cutout. Repeat at the top of the opening.

Renting and Tenant Rights
By M. Farrugia
As a property owner, a landlord usually has some degree of liability for rental property. However, the primary factor in establishing who is liable for an injury or crime on a rental property is negligence. If someone is injured or a crime is committed on a rental property and the landlord's negligence of the property can be proven as the cause, the landlord can be held liable. Conversely, if someone is injured or damage to the property is caused by proven negligence on the tenant's part, the tenant can be held liable. Landlord Negligence
A landlord can be held legally responsible for injury or crime on their rental property when their negligence can be proven as the cause of the incident. Several conditions must be proven in order to establish landlord negligence. First, it must be proven that it was the landlord's responsibility to maintain the part of the property where an injury was caused. Second, it must be proven that the problem was relatively longstanding and that the landlord did not take appropriate action to remedy the condition when he could have done so without incurring an unreasonable expense. Third, it must be proven that the injury was a genuine result of the landlord's negligence. Landlords are especially likely to be held liable for crime if criminal activity has previously occurred on the premises. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/general-liability-rental-properties-87010.html |

Tenants can also be held legally responsible for injury or property damage if their negligence can be proven as the cause of the incident. For example, if a tenant causes a fire by carelessly leaving the stove on, she can be held liable for property damage and personal injury caused as a result.

Check the Lease Terms
In any case of injury, crime or property damage, the terms of the rental agreement can usually help shed light on who is liable. A lease agreement should state who is liable for which parts of the property. Landlords are usually responsible for the structural elements of the building and for the common areas, such as the building entry, communal stairs and any communal outdoor areas. However, rental agreements vary, so it is important to refer to the document to establish with certainty who is responsible for the area of the property where the incident occurred. Insurance
Both landlords and tenants can take out an insurance policy to limit their financial liability for injury, crime and damage occurring on rental property. A landlord's insurance policy can protect him or her from claims filed by tenants -- medical bills in cases of injury or lawsuits in cases of theft or property damage. Tenants can also get renter's insurance to protect their property from damage and themselves from claims filed against them if their negligence causes damage or personal injury to others. ‒‒:‒‒

The Growing Zone of Mesquite
There are various types of mesquite trees (Prosopis spp.). Variants of the native North American mesquite grow in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 6b to 9. In the southwestern U.S., the mesquite is used to imbue meat with a smoky flavor. If you live in a warmer climate, you can grow South American mesquites in USDA zones 9 to 11. Note that USDA zones only tell you the range of expected winter lows, rather than other conditions needed to grow mesquite, a tree that evolved in arid and semi-arid climates. North American Mesquites
Mesquites are legumes with roots that work with soil bacteria to convert nitrogen gas in the air to a form of nitrogen that they can use, hence they fertilize themselves. North American mesquites, famous for their rough, reddish-brown bark and spiny branches, grow up to 25 to 35 feet high with a matching spread. Evolved to grow in arid regions, their roots spread wide in search of water and can consume moisture needed by neighboring plants. North American mesquite tree adaptations allow these species to thrive in climates with low humidity, and they don’t mind heat or salt in the air. Plant them at the base hot walls that face west or south and in areas where water is at a premium. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/growing-zone-mesquite-77312.html |

Velvet mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa var. velutina) is named for the fine hair on its leaflets and seed pods. Screwbean mesquite (Prosopis pubenscens) is known for its tightly coiled, hairy seed pods. Creeping mesquite (Prosopis reptans) is a low, creeping shrub. You can also buy nursery starts of spineless hybrid mesquites that are especially good for urban yards. Be aware, however, that mesquite is considered an invasive species in some areas of the country. South American Mesquites
The South American varieties of mesquite include the Chilean mesquite (Prosopis chilensis), which is noted for its rugged, twisted trunk and lacy crown of blue-green leaves and has spines up to 2 inches long. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/growing-zone-mesquite-77312.html |

Renting and Tenant Rights
By Leigh Thompson
Falling behind on your mortgage payments results in the lender taking action against you. When you fall several months behind, the lender initiates action to foreclose on the property. Foreclosure is the legal process of taking possession of the property to sell at auction. Once the property sells at auction, you are no longer in foreclosure. After foreclosure, you must find a new place to live and start rebuilding your financial life. Voluntary Vacancy
You may voluntarily vacate the property after the foreclosure auction. Voluntarily leaving the property eliminates the need for the new owner to file an eviction lawsuit to remove you. Having a foreclosure on your record may hinder your ability to get a new apartment or rental lease. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/happens-after-foreclosure-property-sold-55824.html |

You may voluntarily vacate the property after the foreclosure auction. Voluntarily leaving the property eliminates the need for the new owner to file an eviction lawsuit to remove you. Having a foreclosure on your record may hinder your ability to get a new apartment or rental lease. An eviction on top of that may cause significant hardship in getting a new place to live. When the new owner gets possession of the property, he issues a three-day notice to vacate the property. Leaving before or during the three-day period avoids an eviction lawsuit. Eviction
Failing to voluntarily vacate the property results in an eviction lawsuit by the new owner. You receive the three-day notice. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/happens-after-foreclosure-property-sold-55824.html |

Buying and Selling
By Derek Dowell
The process of foreclosure can be an emotional and financial nightmare for those involved, but can't legitimately be claimed to be a surprise. The lender, normally a bank, must go through an exhaustive series of letters and notifications to the homeowner in order to complete the foreclosure process and take back the house. The bank follows four basic steps to foreclose upon a house, beginning with the notice of default and ending with a public auction, if allowed to go that far. Notice of Default
If you've missed mortgage payments, chances are you're very aware of that fact, but the lender will let you know anyway with a Notice of Default. Sometimes called a Notice of Delinquency, this letter takes the form of a seriously worded reminder that payment is due, how far behind you are, and what actions are necessary to bring your account current. It cannot be emphasized enough that this is the time to be proactive. Get in touch with your lender and find out what options you have. Hiding from the bank is not a good idea. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/happens-foreclosure-property-9078.html |

Foreclosure Lawsuit
If you receive a Notice of Acceleration, that means a lawsuit has been filed and will commence after the 30-day waiting period. While the legal system grinds through the process, you still have the option of selling the house on your own for whatever you can get. However, a drop dead date will soon loom on the horizon. Once the court allows the lawsuit to proceed, the bank will set the time and date for a sale of your property. At this point, it is committed to the foreclosure and will no longer consider alternate payment arrangements. Public Auction
A public auction means exactly what it says. At the prescribed date and time, your house will be put up for bid on the courthouse steps. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/happens-foreclosure-property-9078.html |

The lender will set a floor amount below which it will not accept an offer. Don't expect the sale to slide by unnoticed. The event will be published in local papers, posted at the county courthouse and covered by several websites. Investors often swarm on the opportunity to pick up a house at below market price.

Whether the house is purchased at auction or the minimum bid is not met and it reverts to the bank's real estate owned (REO) department, don't assume you will be allowed to continue living there. You will be notified how long you have to vacate the house. Should you refuse, the eviction process begins and, eventually, the local sheriff will arrive to escort you to the curb. Foreclosure is then complete. ‒‒:‒‒

Renting and Tenant Rights
By Phil M. Fowler
Foreclosure is a mortgage lender's legal remedy for enforcing payment on a mortgage loan. Foreclosure allows the lender to sell your mortgaged house and use the sales proceeds to pay off the outstanding balance on the mortgage loan. California statutory law strictly governs foreclosure proceedings. History
Foreclosure does not occur unless you have a history of late payments or nonpayment on your mortgage loan. When you miss a certain number of payments or just simply stop paying on your mortgage loan, then you are in default under the mortgage loan. Default triggers the lender's right to foreclose. Notice of Default
The first step in the foreclosure process occurs when the lender sends the borrower a notice of default and election to sell. This is a legal document that sets forth the lender's right to foreclose and sell your house. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/happens-house-foreclosure-9065.html |

Trustee
When the lender initiates foreclosure, the lender will name a trustee to carry out the foreclosure process. The notice of default sent to you by the lender will identify the name, address and telephone number of the trustee. If you have questions or concerns about the foreclosure process, you should contact the trustee to have those questions answered. Most trustees are attorneys, title companies or departments of a bank or mortgage company. Retention
When the lender sends you a notice of default, this triggers a 90-day waiting term during which you have the right to redeem your mortgage. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/happens-house-foreclosure-9065.html |

When the lender sends you a notice of default, this triggers a 90-day waiting term during which you have the right to redeem your mortgage. Redeeming your mortgage mean that you pay the full amount that you owe to date on the mortgage, which includes principal, interest, late fees and lender costs incurred so far in the foreclosure process. Trustee's Sale
After 90 days expire, the trustee can hold a trustee's sale where the trustee will sell your house to the highest bidder in a public auction. The lender must publish in a local newspaper a notice of the sale, which notice must include the date, time and location of the public auction. The lender also must also send a copy of the notice of sale to you at least 20 days before the sale. The lender will then hold the sale and deed the property to the highest bidder at the public auction. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/happens-house-foreclosure-9065.html |

After the trustee's sale, the lender has the right to evict you from the property. Of course, you can voluntarily leave the property on the date of the trustee's sale, which is a good idea to avoid future legal problems. However, if you don't voluntarily leave the property, then the lender can get a sheriff to evict you from the house. After the trustee's sale you no longer own the house or have a right to occupy the house. ‒‒:‒‒

What Happens When You Let Your House Go Back to the Bank? Losing your house is a traumatic experience that can have wide-reaching consequences. In addition to the loss of your home, you'll probably experience significant impacts to your credit, as well as potentially being subject to a collection action for years to come. On the other hand, it can give you a chance to start fresh and be free of your mortgage. Losing Your House
The process by which you lose your home in a foreclosure varies from state to state and it can depend on the type of loan you have. Generally, you'll get a warning after you miss a few payments. If you don't make your back payments, your house will eventually be sold at an auction. Your state's laws determine how long you have to move out after the auction sale. The bigger issue is whether you allow your house to be foreclosed upon or you work out an arrangement with the lender, typically called a "deed in lieu of foreclosure" where you relinquish ownership of the property to the bank. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/happens-let-house-back-bank-72447.html |

This saves the bank from the inconvenience and expense of foreclosure. At the same time, it also keeps you from having a foreclosure on your credit report. Although a deed in lieu will show up on your report as well, the impact on your credit may be less. Get the Best Mortgage Rate for You | SmartAsset.com

Deficiency Judgments
After you lose your house to the bank, you may not be finished with responsibility for it. Many states allow lenders to pursue the difference between what you owe the bank and what they recover from the sale of your house after they take it back. If you owe $210,000 and the bank only gets $160,000 after selling your house and paying its expenses, you'll be on the hook for the remaining $50,000. It's important to talk to a real estate attorney to find out what your liability could be. If you negotiate a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the attorney can also help you ensure that the bank agrees not to pursue you for the deficiency after accepting the deed. Credit Post-Foreclosure
A foreclosure affects your credit report in two ways. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/happens-let-house-back-bank-72447.html |

If you negotiate a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the attorney can also help you ensure that the bank agrees not to pursue you for the deficiency after accepting the deed. Credit Post-Foreclosure
A foreclosure affects your credit report in two ways. The first is that your credit score will suffer from the late payments leading up to the foreclosure. The foreclosure itself will usually decrease your credit score by around 100 to 150 points, and it will stay in your credit report for at least seven years. Furthermore, a foreclosure can make you ineligible to take out a mortgage for a period of time. For example, Fannie Mae won't underwrite a mortgage for you for seven years after you go through a foreclosure. Mortgage Free Living
One of the biggest benefits of losing your house is that you will usually enjoy a period of time during which you can live in your house without making any mortgage payments. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/happens-let-house-back-bank-72447.html |

Working With the Beneficiary
Foreclosing on the Home
Content: Federal law mandates that a lender transfer the loan to an heir or relative upon the death of a borrower. That heir can pay the lender upon the sale of the house or live in it or rent it while making the mortgage payments. Foreclosing on the Home
If the borrower doesn't repay, because of lack of money or death, the lender can foreclose on the home and sell it to pay off the outstanding mortgage amount. In the case of a deceased homeowner, foreclosing is a last resort if a surviving spouse or beneficiary can't continue the mortgage payments. Lenders would rather have the estate pay off the loan debt than foreclose, as foreclosure is an expensive and lengthy process. Generally, if someone inherits a property and takes over the mortgage, it is because they can afford the payments. If that person defaults, the lender can foreclose on the house and the foreclosure goes on the credit report of the current owner. If a person inherits a property but cannot afford to pay, she will usually choose to sell it to pay off the loan and avoid default. However, if the property is "underwater" (with a mortgage greater than the current value of the home), a beneficiary can decline to accept the property. In that case, foreclosure is the lender's top option, and it has no impact on the beneficiary's credit report. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/happens-loan-house-homeowner-dies-56376.html |

Another Letter
If the judge rules in favor of your lender, the next step will be a letter notifying you of the date of sale. In many states, you can still stop the sale if you can amass enough money to pay off the mortgage in full, plus foreclosure expenses and other costs. The Sale
If you don't pay off your debts, the lender will put the home up for auction to the highest bidder. If it doesn't sell, then your lender becomes the new owner, Nolo states. Up until that moment, you're still the legal owner. It will usually take at least 3 months after notification before the house is sold, more if you fought the foreclosure action. Eviction

If the property is your personal home, you can continue living there until you receive an eviction notice, even after the sale. If the new owner doesn't ask for rent, you don't even have to pay to stay there. Once you get the notice, events will follow according to the eviction laws of your state. Nonjudicial Foreclosure
In many states, such as California, lenders use deeds of trust, rather than a mortgage, to secure their claim on the house. If your lender has a deed of trust, it doesn't have to go to court to foreclose, and the whole process takes much less time. ‒‒:‒‒

Content: That being said, a foreclosure is not a panacea and, contrary to popular opinion, a property with liens against it may very well come out of a foreclosure with remaining debts. How Foreclosure Works
A lien holder files a foreclosure to get control of the house as compensation for the unpaid loan. After a period of time, the property proceeds to a sheriff's or trustee's sale. At the sale, the property is auctioned off to the highest bidder. In certain cases, the property and money sit in limbo for a period of time while the homeowner has an opportunity to redeem the property by making back payments. If the homeowner can't make the payments, the lender who initiated the foreclosure gets his money, and the new buyer gets the property. Any money leftover goes to other lien holders or to the previous owner. Private Liens
When a lien holder forecloses, it immediately trumps any private liens that got placed on the property. In other words, when a first mortgage goes through a foreclosure property, it clears out any second and third mortgages. While lien holders for the second and third mortgages might have the right to get their money back, they can't attach anything against the property after the foreclosure sale. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/happens-there-another-lien-foreclosure-property-34226.html |

Pest Control
By Shannon Leigh O'Neil
Paints, lacquers and other synthetic coatings are ubiquitous in our lives, covering most ceilings, walls and floors. After being applied to a surface and left to dry, these substances are typically safe. During the application process, however -- when paint and lacquer finishes are wet -- there are some health hazards to consider. Chemical compounds in lacquer and paint potentially cause health problems that range from mild to extremely serious. In some cases, these toxic substances can even be deadly. Inhalation
Most lacquers and paints contain chemicals that pose a health hazard, especially for those who work with them on a regular basis. Among these chemicals are urethane and cyanide compounds that can be particularly hazardous if inhaled in any significant quantity. These chemicals penetrate the lungs during inhalation and accumulate on the fibrous walls of these vital organs, causing irritation and swelling. Symptoms of chemical inhalation include coughing, sore throat, wheezing and difficulty breathing. When you inhale large quantities of isocyanates, contained in some paints, your health may be adversely affected. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/hazards-lacquer-paint-99603.html |

Symptoms of chemical inhalation include coughing, sore throat, wheezing and difficulty breathing. When you inhale large quantities of isocyanates, contained in some paints, your health may be adversely affected. Dizziness, headaches, or vision problems may sometimes occur. It is important to apply paint and lacquer only in a well-ventilated area, using a respirator mask, to avoid inhalation. If you are removing dried paint -- for example, around a window using a rotary tool -- wear a dust mask and goggles. Skin Contact
Short-term exposure to paint and lacquer is not likely to cause problems for your skin. If you are working with these chemicals regularly, however, it is crucial to protect your skin as much as possible. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/hazards-lacquer-paint-99603.html |

Short-term exposure to paint and lacquer is not likely to cause problems for your skin. If you are working with these chemicals regularly, however, it is crucial to protect your skin as much as possible. A common indicator of prolonged exposure to paint and lacquer is contact dermatitis, or redness and itching of the skin. If these symptoms appear, thoroughly wash and rinse the affected area with soap and water. If the condition does not improve or becomes worse, see a doctor. In rare cases, the actual cause of discomfort is an allergy to paint and lacquer. Either way, the impact on your health can be extremely serious. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/hazards-lacquer-paint-99603.html |

Eye Contact
During the spray application of lacquer and paint, liquid particles containing toxic chemicals may get in your eyes and irritate your mucus membranes. This causes eye watering, swelling and may even lead to blindness. Using safety goggles that fit properly is the simplest and most effective way to avoid eye exposure. If direct exposure with your eyes occurs, flush eyes with cold water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention. Ingestion
Chemicals from paint and lacquer finishes can penetrate the digestive system just like they do the lungs. During the spray application of these materials, liquid particles make contact with the mouth and may be swallowed. Prolonged or extensive exposure of these chemicals in the digestive tract may cause a burning sensation and stomach upset. | https://homeguides.sfgate.com/hazards-lacquer-paint-99603.html |
