Article: Avoid putting words in her mouth or interrupting her when she speaks. Encourage her to talk by asking casual questions about her day, or how a test went at school. Note her responses and allow her to share her thoughts. Have a two way conversation. Showing your teen you care about her thoughts and opinions during a conversation will give her more confidence to be open and honest with you. Allow her to ask questions and let her think for herself. An example conversation starter might be: "How are things at school?" "How did practice go?" "Was the party fun on Saturday?" Let your teen know you care about what's going on in their lives and you are there to listen. "You know you can always talk to me if you're having trouble at school or you are feeling distracted." "I'm here to listen if you ever need to talk." "Remember, you can talk and I'll just listen." . Most teenagers may appear lazy or distracted, when in fact, they are often sleep deprived. Unlike adults, adolescents are actually biologically prone to sleeping in later and waking up in the mid morning, rather than in the early morning. So when your teen is forced out of bed at 7 or 8 am to go to school and learn, her natural sleep cycles is thrown off and she will likely appear lazy, disoriented, and unmotivated, all symptoms of lack of sleep. This is why it is so important that your teen goes to bed at a decent time to ensure she gets eight full hours of sleep a night. This will help to prevent appearing lazy, and ensure she has enough energy for the day. Discuss your teen's sleep patterns and her typical bed time. A consistent bed time every night, even on weekends, will help to set her natural sleep cycle and allow her body to get enough rest. For example, if she has to wake up at 7 am five days a week for school, she should be going to bed no later than 10:30 pm to ensure she gets a full eight hour sleep. She should then try to stick to this bedtime on weekends so she doesn't throw off her natural sleep cycle. Many teenagers drag their heels when asked to do chores or tasks because they don't see the value in doing these things. They may think, so what if I forget to take out the trash, or to clean my room? What does it matter? As a parent, its important for you explain that in fact you do not always want to do certain chores or tasks and would rather be doing other things with your time. But completing household chores and other life tasks is part of being a responsible member of the family. Note that importance of teamwork and cooperation between everyone in the household to ensure chores and tasks are done equally in the home. Explaining to your teen that you often don't enjoy doing household duties, but you do them anyway for the good of everyone will help your teen understand the reasoning behind completing a chore or task. This will then motivate her to do her part as a member of the family. Laziness can sometimes be a symptom of other issues, like a lack of sleep, depression, stress, or other internal struggles. If your teen seems to be more sluggish or lazy than usual and is displaying other signs of depression or anxiety, sit down with your teen and talk with her. If you are worried about your teen's depression or anxiety, consider talking to a medical professional, your family doctor, or a counselor about next steps.

Problem: Article: Wear old clothing and long gloves that extend to the middle of your forearms. Put on an N-95 respirator, and follow the instructions that came with it to ensure a proper fit. Wear goggles without ventilation holes. You can purchase an N-95 respirator mask online or from a hardware store for about $12 to $25. Inspecting for mold can stir up airborne spores, so it's important to wear protective gear. Look for mold near the intake of your heating/ventilation/air conditioning system. Inspect inside the air ducts for a musty smell or noticeable mold growth. If all you find is dust in the return registers, that's normal and you can vacuum or remove the registers to clean them. If you don't find any signs of mold, and no one in your household has unexplained illness, symptoms or allergies, your air ducts are most likely not contaminated. If you suspect contamination in your HVAC system, turn it off and don't run it until you have the air ducts cleaned. Contact a professional mold removal service if you find a strong odor, damage from contaminated water, and/or areas of mold larger than ten square feet (three meters), approximately three feet by three feet (91 cm by 91 cm). Read online reviews or obtain a referral for a qualified mold remediation contractor. Check their references and ask what EPA recommendations or other professional guidelines they'll follow. For large areas of mold, the basement and HVAC may need to be sealed off with plastic sheeting. Contaminated water can occur from flooding or sewage backup. A strong, moldy odor may indicate unseen mold growth behind walls, under flooring or beneath baseboards. You may be able to obtain a free estimate detailing what services are needed. The average cost for mold remediation is about $7,500.
Summary: Put on protective gear first. Check the HVAC system for contamination. Recognize when a professional service is needed.

Load-bearing dry stack walls should be started at the corners. Begin constructing corners by laying 1 stone in the corner of the trench. Then lay 3 stones extending out in each direction. This forms the corner joint. If the wall is more than 1 stone thick, lay more stones parallel to the first ones. Act as if each section represents one stone. Construction bricks are designed to interlock at corners. The 4 stones you laid from each direction forms the first layer of cornerstones. For the second layer, overlap the first stone by laying another on top of it. Continue interlocking the stones as you build upward, alternating which side lays over the other. The interlocking stone structure should look like a zipper going up. Stack 3 to 5 layers of stones at the corner before filling in the rest of the wall. Then if you need to go higher, stack more layers at the corners. After constructing the corners, extend outward from here and fill in the rest of the trench. Interlocking bricks have shapes cut into them that line up with the other bricks. Fit the bricks together as you lay them in place. Place the bricks in the trench all along the perimeter to form the first layer. Make sure each rock you place is secure. Push it down to lock it in place snugly. Pound them down gently with a rubber mallet if you have to. Always stack a complete layer around the whole perimeter before starting another layer. When starting a new layer, each rock should overlap the joint between the rocks below it. This helps make your wall more stable. Continue this pattern as you stack more layers. If your bricks are smaller and you need to use more than one to cover the width of the trench, make sure the stones nearby touch each other. Otherwise, the wall won't be able to support much weight. Part of the reason you need a stem wall is to keep ground moisture away from the structure you're building. Stacking the wall at least 1.5 feet (0.46m) above ground level helps keep your structure dry and avoids water damage. Do not build the stem wall higher than 8 feet (2.4m). A wall higher than this requires extra reinforcement. Many localities even ban stem walls higher than 4 feet (1.2m) for safety reasons.
