Has anyone done this recently or knows a webpage that has this information? I mean one of the huge, open ones that you see in the driveways of people doing renovations. how much does it cost to get one in the first place, bring it to the house, then to have it emptied regullarly and taken away when your're done.

I am looking to paint the paneling in my house and I was told that it soaks up the paint quite a bit. Does anyone know the easiest and cheapest way to do this? I am on limited funds here. Thank you to all who give suggestions.

I am remodeling a kitchen and am struggling with the decision of gas versus electric cooktop. I like to cook but as a busy mom, I don't whip up too many gourmet meals. I know that electric smoothtops are easier to clean whereas gas has better heat control. Does anyone have any insight that might help me make my decision?

This may seem a little odd but I've NEVER had a Christmas tree.

I live w/my boyfriend and this will be our first Christmas together and we want to get a tree. I'm clueless on what to buy though. I know ornaments and lights. But how many? Where's the best place to shop for this stuff? How much should I expect to spend (not counting the tree)?

Thanks! Im so excited about Christmas!

The mother of a friend of mine has apple trees in her garden and has grown them for many years. She has even grafted on branches of other species to give more variety (I didn't even know you could do that before I met her!)

Anyway, this year her apples have been terrible. They have all either rotted on the branch, or have been attacked and eaten by various "worms".

What do you recommend she does next year to prevent this from happening again?

I am currently replacing my kitchen faucet and turned the water off with no problem. Now I am trying to loosen the nut to remove the faucet and it WON'T BUDGE. I even bought a special wrench to try and get up there, but it's a tad too small. Any tips to loosen it or any special tools?? Thank you!!

I know about maintenance, but keeping it clean is a hard task. I have two small children, and it gets overloaded. What can I do to keep it clean and organized without losing my sanity?
