I Want to Hear of Your Ideas of Having Fun with Your Other Half, Whilst Spending the Weekend at Home

Well if you did not add in the "sick of sex" thing I was going to suggest doing something different in that area, like role playing, toys, or just doing it in a room of the house you have not done it in. But if you are truly bored with that. I would suggest cooking something together. Find a fancy meal in a magazine or cookbook or something simple that you two like that you usually buy ready-made and make it from scratch yourself. If either one of you are into art type things you could get some cheap supplies and do something creative, either together on one project or competitively in separate projects. Also have you ever considered inviting your friends to you house for a small get-together. Sometimes the same old games and movies can be more fun in a group.

1. When the summer is particularly hellish, how do you keep cool?

Go swimming? Stay in the air conditioned house? Edit: Learn to enjoy swimming. Buy an air conditioner. Fold a piece of paper into a fan. Use water in other ways to cool you down. Stay in the shade. Move somewhere cooler.

2. How do the republicans that are running compare to Obama as far as education goes?

Of course you do not include Bachmann, Perry or Cain, right? Their collective shoe size would be higher then their GED score. Newt can not be very intelligent or he would know he could not win. After being kicked out of the biggest den of thieves in the country (house of reps) Those 84 corruption & ethics violations will comeback to sink him. As well as his immoral example to the "Family Values" hypocrits. Romney is another question. If he attended Ivy League and graduated with honors, he could compete with Barry. Except he's painted into a corner on the stupid side of issues. Ron Paul is smarter then most...or just much more honest and objective. For election purposes the Teabaggers have made all republicans look like raving idiots. 3 of them say god wants them to be president? So why does not he just "miracle" them into the Whitehouse?They pander to the lunatic fringe and now have to explain that in the general..You are gonna have Barry for 4 more years.. .

3. Exterior of addition's foundation leaks

The driveway has not shifted but has sunk..Why concrete sinks in the first place....Fill dirt is almost always placed along side of house and garage foundations after the foundation work is completed. This fills in voids created during the foundation construction process. Rarely does a builder take the time to compact this dirt.1: You will not be able to re-apply some 'good stuff' to make it work. 2: The addition has some issues of its own in that it had leaked prior to - what company did the addition - perhaps pulling the building permit might tell you who did the addition - if there is no permit on record - that will tell you a material fact - whether you have any recourse is up to State Law (with a name like rocky - I assume you are in the USA). 3: You might not have to replace the driveway - you might be able to have it lifted, this is known as Slab Jacking, Mud Jacking, Poly Urethane Filling - your driveway has not shifted but has rather sunken from the load on the dirt above - there might be other issues at play here as well - it has sunk on your addition side not the other side and you mentioned problems with the addition - a very big reason why you will want a professional to look at it and also why you want to look for those building permits in your city or county office. Again there might be avenues where the responsible party ($$$$) is not you; but then again state laws vary and Caveat Emptor is usually the motto when it comes to Real Estate.What is typically done is a fill material is inserted underneath the concrete and into the soil to lift the sunken areas. What you will need to do is search for a company in your area that will perform 'Mud Jacking or Foundation Repair'. Mud Jacking is not a cure all for all foundation or sunken slab issues but it can be a cheap alternative fix for many problems.Now a link for estimated costs as that is probably going to be important to you, typical costs can range anywhere from $400 to $4000 depending on the severity and the issues found as well as the company performing the service.
