I've owned a number of upright bagless vacuum cleaners, and they have all sucked (well, they've actually all stopped sucking to be precise). The Dyson claims to never lose its power, but its also 5x more expensive than the average upright. Is it worth it?

I want to remodel my back yard. I am thinking that I want a 500-feet wide, 350-feet deep lowered amphitheatre dug directly into the ground, and the earth excavated from this hole I will use to build a mountain on which I will plant grapevines to make wine. I have to be finished this weekend. I already own a shovel. What else do I need?

Grouted ceramic tiles are above the backsplash. I don't want to damage the tiles as they are no longer available. Looking under counters, I do not see any indication that the backsplash is screwed to the current top. There seems to be adhesive between the existing countertop and the backsplash.

The ceramic tile in my shower is looking really shabby and I'd like to re-do it in subway tiles on the walls and mini hexagonal tiles on the floor. Has anyone ever re-tiled an old shower? What should I keep in mind? It is a single story house that is about 30 years old and I beleive it is all the original stuff.
