To make snapshots, minimize the game interface and hold Ctrl + Shift + S and click with the left mouse button to make the snapshot.
The hole digging lots are here: http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=3599 (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=3599)

The easiest way is the print screen button on your keyboard (often abbreviated to PrtScn) Then opening paint and hitting Ctrl-V (paste)

(This is game specific you can do it at any time in windows)

And for hole digging lots I'd use these (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1544) by Shadow Assassin
They are identical to Smoncrie's except they have better icons that are easier to read and there is more heights and depths.

There is a dash in a box at the left bottom corner of the screen when playing. Clicking on it will minimize everything (but the dash itself).
