I'm looking for the least expensive way to tile my 36" X 36" shower stall. The existing tile is covering 72 square feet of surface. I can get some great deals on good quality 12" X 12" ceramic floor tiles between $1.50 - $3.25 ea. This is far cheaper than a dollar each for 4" X 4" bathroom tile.

Are there any reasons why I shouldn't use ceramic floor tiles instead of bathroom/shower tile?

The installation would be identical, but far less expensive if I can do this.

I'm looking for the best deal because I've discovered a huge termite/dry-rot/mold problem in the bathroom. The total cost of replacing the lumbar, drywall, tile, etc., is killing me, so must make all repairs myself.

Thanks for reading this & for any help! I live near Los Angeles, California, so any suggestions on local suppliers are welcome.

P.S.
Anybody know where to find prefabricated "plastic" panels that look just like 4 inch square tile on the wall? I saw it used on a DIY show, but can't find it

I've tried several plug-in kind air fresheners (common brands from supermarkets), but their smell is too overwhelming and not pleasant. I'd like my house have a hint of a very subtle, floral-like scent, well, maybe the kind they use in good department stores or so. What products and brands would you recommend?

We just moved to find the kitchen floor really dirty. I've tried a steam cleaner with no luck. Do you have any suggestions to get the dirt out of the floor cracks? I do have a dog, we don't want anything to poisonous.

We have a bath in dire condition which we want to fit in a new bathroom we are building. Rather than a quick touch-up and re-surface job (sometimes called re-enamelling) we want to send it away to be properly done - sand blasting, firing etc. etc. but don't know of a place anywhere in Scotland where this can be done (we live 50 miles north of Edinburgh). If anyone is able to help it would be much appreciated.

OK first off ,, it's not the timer,, already replaced that,, it's the drain isn't clogged,, cuz I can get some water to come out of it,, the motor works becuase it agitates,, and adds water,, and you can hear the timer, going and gears clicking,, I have taken off hte control panel and nothing is loose or un connected.

Any help?? I am not really wanting to call the repair man I can get another one almost cheaper ,,, but would like to try and fix this myself.

We live in North Carolina. We saw a hedge that was green (not sure if it was evergreen or holly) that had orangeish color berries. We would like to know the name of the bush.

Most of the electric has been replaced, but I am putting in a ceiling fan (where the light was) in a room that still has the original cloth wires. Neither the rubber insulation nor the wires themselves seem brittle, but should I be worried? Should I replace them?
