I’m baby-sitting few evenings a month. the location is Redwood city CA. I’m 17 and have experience/reference. How much should i charge?

i read a book a long time ago, and want to figure out the name. It is about a teenage boy who runs away from home and lives in a giant tree that he hollows out. It was maybe a redwood tree. He has to hunt for his food, etc. in the woods. Anyone know the name and/or author?
Thanks!

it was power washed but still has algea or mildew on it and the wood is a little gray. does it need a brightner? The fellow who cleaned it power washed it with plain hot water. On protecting and sealing the deck to protect it from further UV or water damage – i know not to use a clear stain – but does anyone have a recommendation for a specific brand and type? i don’t want the deck to look fake and "painted" too. Cabot has this SPF deck finisher, but don’t know if that’s a good product or not. please help!! (and soon – we have to call our deck guy back tomorrow)

we have poor,bad credit and we want a morgage loan to purchase a forecosure home does anyone know of any that will loan to someone with bad credit please let me know a.s.a.p

I’ve been accepted to Humboldt, but I’m not sure if I should go there. A large part of me wants to continue playing violin, even though I’ll be a non-music major. Are the music programs there good? What can it be compared to? Is there any place online where I can listen to a recording of their orchestra? Any other information about their music programs would be great. Thanks :]

1. explain your view of the survivorship curves of automobiles, redwood trees, salmon, and a set of dishes. how would you draw this?

2. if you were in the business of growing, harvesting, and selling freshwater fish, to insure a maximum long term yield from your "farm," at what point in the population growth would you harvest? at what point would you take no more fish? what other factors would affect yields and how would you adjust your operation?

any help is appreciated. thank you.

there date of discovery would be a huge help thanksss

My husband and I are driving up the Pacific Coast from San Francisco to Seattle. Neither of us have been. We both love camping and I really want to see the redwood trees and the Hoh Rainforest in Oregon. We plan on eating at hole in the wall places and camping/hiking. etc. Also, the husband wants to surf. Any suggestions on any of this would be awesome. Thanks!

This is for my science, exact question:
"Since plants lack a skeleton, what provides structure and support for a redwood tree (112m) or a black tree fern (24m)?" In other words, what holds it up?

i’m interested in joining, but I cant find anything about a unit nearby. Thanks.
