Q: Plug your hard drive into one of your Mac's USB ports. You'll need the same amount of space on the external drive as is being used on the hard drive. If your hard drive uses a USB 3.0 connection and your Mac doesn't have USB 3.0 ports, you'll need to buy and use a USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter. If you haven't yet formatted your hard drive to erase it and set it up for a MacOS backup, format it before continuing.

Q: Take out any furniture, rugs, decor, and anything else from the room so they're not in the way and they don't get any dust or dirt on them. Make sure the rooms on both sides of the wall are completely empty. Be sure to take down anything that may be hanging on the wall as well. Once the rooms are clear, put down enough plastic tarp to cover all of the floors and baseboards so they're protected from any dust, dirt, and debris that may get on them from the wall being knocked down. Use masking tape to seal the edges of the tarp and connect them to the other walls. You can also use plastic drop cloths, but make sure there aren't any gaps between them. Find tarps and drop cloths at home improvement stores, paint supply stores, and online. Taking down the wall can release a lot of dust and dirt in the air, which can escape into adjacent rooms through the doorways. Use masking tape to hang plastic sheets over the entrances so the room is sealed and dust is contained inside of it. Tape the sheets to the top of the doorways so they hang down over the opening. Place towels or plastic sheets over the air vents in the room so dust isn't distributed to the other rooms in the building. Use masking tape to seal the edges of the vents. Keep any ceiling fans turned off to minimize the dust being shifted around.
A: Clear the rooms on both sides of the wall. Lay down a plastic tarp over the floor to protect it. Hang plastic sheeting in the doorways to block off the room. Cover any vents in the rooms to keep dust from escaping.

Q: Water snakes are usually deadly and it's unlikely you can get help quickly enough after being bitten, so avoiding them is your only line of safety. If you know water snakes are in a body of water, the safest thing is to stay out of the water. There are plenty of safe places to go swimming in the world, so choose those places for your next trip. Even if the water is usually safe, the heavy rains may have caused snakes that are usually land-lubbers to get caught up in the water and they'll be attempting to get back to safety.
A:
Know where the water contains snakes. Avoid going into rivers or other water bodies after heavy rains.
