My husband and I are ready to tackle the basement and finish remodeling it - we already have it framed. Our biggest debate right now is how to finish the ceiling. One part of me wants to drywall it but my husband hates that idea, because maintenance in the future could suck.... I get that. I personally hate the loook of a drop ceiling. Should we paint the basment ceiling white, as it is, and go with a contemporary look? Would that be a good compromise? Can I still achieve a great finished look that way or would it look cheesy?

In my Basement there is my 3" drain-pipe running along the walls toward the sewer hook-up, in the only corner there is a 45-straight-45 corner section.
The only problem is that it is cutting into my laundry space and not allowing me to get my Dryer tight into the corner.
Being a small place I'm allways trying to find space, so this change would give me a few feet' extra to use.

I am new to decorating and want to add some artex to a room with uneven walls. Is this easy to do without causing disaster? I've been advised to avoid the idea all together since I'm an amateur, so I'd like to know if other people think it's a task for newbies. Is artex easy to apply? What is the basic procedure for doing it? And can you do it over lining paper? Thanks.

I want to paint a dish drainer that has some type of coating already on it. This dish drainers design is unusual & I'd like to keep it, but I don't like the color. Is it safe to use regular spray paint for metal, and what is the best way to do it?
Thanks for any response.

No need to remove stump/grinding, etc. Just take the tree down, haul away.

Does anyone have a log home or know a lot about them? I was wondering if they are hard to maintain, or what? Did you treat yours every few years, and was it expensive? Comments?

I wanna buy a home next year. I'm currently renting and my lease won't be up until August 31st, 2007. When should I start looking for a house to buy? I'm not sure of how far in advance you can look and all of that. I just want to make sure I have somewhere to go when my lease is up. Someone please help!

We didn't check it before buying because we bought it from a friend. The only thing that my husband did that he probably shouldn't have was lay it down in the back of his truck for delivery. It was probably down for about 30 minutes max. We left it sit upright for 2 days before pluggin it in.

if your heating broke down and your landlord called someone to fix it two days later, yet that person didnt arrive for another week and you had to buy a small electric heater for yourself.
what would your thoughts / reactions be?
given its winter and cold.
