How in the world could this happen?

How in the world could this happen?

A slab on the walkway to my front door is cracked and sinking in. They are only about 5 years old and I'm sad that one is already looking this bad. It's about 3 feet wide and 4 feet long. How much would just one of these slabs cost to replace? I'm trying to figure out if it's even worth it because I'm not sure it would be possible to match the same color as the others. I want to know how this happens so I can prevent it from happening again and wasting money.

Thinking about buying 18 of these trees for privacy. Bad idea? I live on a corner lot with no privacy

Home Depot is selling 6 foot emerald green arborvitae for the cheapest price I can find. I live on a corner lot and want to buy a bunch of these because they offer bulk discount which brings them to 47 per tree. I have heard they can randomly die, but I also heard they grow well in the Midwest. I feel like these are my only option since im not allowed to build a privacy fence next to the street. what are my options?

thanks!

How do I fix this???

This somehow got missed on the inspection and now I'm stuck dealing with what I think is a leak coming from the upstairs bathtub. How should I go about treating this and is this really a big deal? Appreciate the help!

I ordered wood chips and now my whole neighborhood smells like rotting manure, what are my options?

Long story short I ordered a ton of wood chips and after they were delivered onto my driveway, I started to quickly notice a terrible rotting smell that reminded me of a pig farm. I even smelled it in the air from really far away. It came in a few different colors. What am I supposed to do with this stuff, would it make good mulch or should I try getting a refund? Starting to worry that my neighbors will report me to the city due to the smell.

How to find the same vinyl siding after damage?

a storm cracked some of my vinyl siding and I cannot for the life of me find the same color anywhere. its not painted but is it realistic to think I could get a piece of the cracked one and ask someone at home depot in the paint department to match it, so I can buy white vinyl and paint?

otherwise I'm not sure what to do. I appreciate the advice.

Am I getting scammed on this driveway?

They are charging me a lot and I don't think this looks good. This is where the new driveway meets the road. Any thoughts or opinions?

Best way to clean 9-foot ceilings in a rental?

Hey all, I need some advice. I’m renting an older place with 9-foot ceilings, and they’re covered in a thin layer of dust and some cobwebs. I want to clean them properly before my lease ends, but I don’t want to risk scratching the paint or damaging the ceiling texture.

I’ve got a standard mop and a broom, but they don’t quite reach or do a thorough job. Should I invest in a telescoping duster, or is there a better method? Any tricks for doing this efficiently would be amazing. Thanks so much in advance!
