Pond liner for front flower/garden beds?
I have 2 flower beds up against my house. The inspector advised me to not have dirt up against the paneling of the house (because of termites/pests/rotting) so I dug all the dirt/rocks out. I purchased some 20mm pond liner vinyl that I thought would be handy for keeping dirt up off the house as well as protect the basement from water leaks. Will this be suitable for flower/herb gardening? Should I poke some holes in the vinyl away from the house for draining or is that unnecessary? Or is the vinyl a bad idea?

1 AnswerBooks & Authors9 years agoHow to collect on a Texas Small Claims Judgment?
I won a small claims judgment several years ago but have been unable to collect on the judgment. Since then the person I sued got married and purchased a home. I'm wondering what options I have to try to pursue my claim. Will the name change and marriage cause any problems? Can I put a lien on the home? Do I have to file a writ of execution or a writ of garnishment? What steps should I take to try to pursue this claim?
1 AnswerLaw & Ethics10 years agoNeed Help Sharing hard drive via Wifi?
I work in an office where we have two separate networks (One for my company and another for our clients) for security reasons. However they would like a shared hard drive solution for files that they're both needing access to.
I purchased a Linksys E3200 wireless router which has a usb port for sharing hard drives, printer, etc. I've been able to connect via wifi to the hard drive and map the drive however when I'm connected to both the wifi and the cat5/lan my internet/network connectivity gets hosed.
I'm wondering how to tell the computer to use the cat5/lan connection for internet/network connectivity and the wifi only for the wifi mapped usb network drive.
Does this make sense?

2 AnswersSoftware10 years agoIs it illegal for an employer (TX) to withhold a last paycheck?
I was laid off recently and my employer is withholding my last paycheck because they want a couple company shirts returned. I no longer have the shirts. I was never informed that I would have to return the shirts and no where in the employee manual does it mention that you paycheck would be withheld if you failed to return the shirts.
9 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoAre there any laws that state that your employer must provide a copy of annual performance reviews?
I was laid off yesterday and I want to know if there are any laws that your employer must provide past annual performance reviews. I was working there 3 years and was never given copies of my annual performance reviews. I'd like to have copies of these documents to be used somewhat as references and for my records.
3 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoWould I be in violation of a employee non-compete agreement?
I started working for a company almost 2 years ago. When hired I was told that I'd make 60k after my 90 day probationary period. After my 90 day probationary period I was still making only 40k. Now after 2 annual reviews and a company wide salary freeze I'm still only making 40k.
About a year ago I started supporting Company X. Company X already had another company (company Z) supporting them in their base city. When Company X expanded to the city I live in Company Z hired my company to support them since they didn't have a base in my home city. Now Company X is closing it's base city and moving all their employees to Company X's office in my city that I support.
I have signed a non-compete agreement with my company. However I just found out that the company I work for has just lost it's largest/oldest client. The loss of this client will be equal to a couple salaries. Since finding out this information Company X has informed me that they will be firing Company Z that supports them in their base city and have offered me a position supporting them in the office that I support.
It is my understanding that a non-compete agreement can not be prohibitive to me securing gainful employment with a stable company. I believe that my company losing their largest client has created an unstable working environment jeopardizing and making my position expendable.
My non-compete agreement states that I can not steal a client from my company for 12 months after I'm no longer employed with my company. Company X is not a direct client of my company since my company was hired through Company Z. If I take a position with Company X would this put me in violation of the non-compete agreement I signed with my company?

2 AnswersSecurity1 decade agoShould I buy a '91 Lexus ES 250?
I found a 1991 ES 250 with under 60k miles. I haven't been able to find much on the reliability of this car as it's over 15 years old. Just curious if there are any current/former owners and what their experiences were with maintenance. I suppose the Lexus shares many of the Toyota Camry parts would could be a positive if any serious repairs are needed. I've also read that gas mileage isn't so good. Let me know what you think about the ES 250.
