Ask Dad

So, I'm not sure if this is the place to post this. But my family is from a rural community and has to travel to see specialists for my daughter. On our most recent trip, my wife's water broke. The doctor says we may not travel as home is far away and the baby will be early. We don't have a support system here, but our families are trying their best to be here. Financially, we are fine, but I'm worried about our daughter(3) being away from her home, school, family, and friends. We have communicated to our daughter the situation, that we cannot leave til the baby is ready, try to be positive and try to keep her active and entertained but obviously she still misses home. Does anyone have any suggestions to create stability and a healthy environment for my daughter?

edit: Sorry, im a bit flustered, so I forgot to mention. The baby may come anytime or passed June, we've been living out of hotels, and our lodging is covered by the government.

I miss you lots

OK dad, I've been wihtout a lawnwower most of the summer. I want to take one last swipe at the acre with the push mower and then use the lawn sweep to clean it up. If I take the bag off the push mower what kind of trouble do you think I'll find if I try to chop up the very long 1'+ bent over grass and the leaves on top of it?

Could be anything from a house to poetry.

Can I use any windshield washer fluid I want for my car, or do I have to match it to whatever remains in the resevoir?

I bought lumber for a screened patio, and I need it to dry so I can paint it before construction. It's been sitting in a neat stack in the garage for almost a month now, and some parts still feel damp.

I'm afraid that laying them out on the driveway during a sunny day would cause the boards to warp.

I've got a table saw, a cordless power drill, and wood screws. I was going to run to Home Depot for the wood and any other supplies I might need.

Any tips?
