I want to put redwood stain on an old wood fence in our new backyard and husband says that would look dumb, he suggest regular color for the wood, the color that it is now, and just stain it that color instead of redwood.
which is better?

I bought a Broil Mate 4554 BBQ several years ago and it was using natural gas... now I'm moving to an apartment that doesn't have an outdoor natural gas pipe... so the hose that usually goes into the natural gas needs to go into a propane tank, but I don't know where to find one... any ideas?

Typical scenario: I get 3 bids to fix something in my house (roof, trim, A/C, plumbing, whatever). I pick a capable contractor based on their price (If I trust their knowledge and experience). Later one of the other bidding contractors calls me. I tell them I chose another capable contractor with a lower price. THEN they offer to lower their price to make me choose them instead. I want them to give me THAT lower price up front.

I saw some old fashioned stoves in magazines I love. Something like out of "I love Lucy" or the cute old stove Debra has on "Everybody Loves Raymond."

My bathroom does not have an electrical outlet. I need one to plug in my hairdryer and other small appliances, i.e. bathroom filters, etc. The bathroom does have a light switch. I want to know whether a light switch could be converted into a system that has both a light switch and an outlet.

I live in a 200 apt. high rise bldg. and it seems the cockroaches are taking over. No matter how clean you are in your house they continue to invade. The professional people have sprayed, I spray, they keep on coming. I know from experience that they do travel from apt. to apt. but gee whiz, how do you keep those little boogers from invading your apt.
