I want to DIY laminate floor in my kitchen, is it as easy as cut and glue?

Lowes and Home Depot (no offence, love them!) want just about as much for labor as they do the laminate.They don't remove the old, just glue and lay the new on top. They do come out to measure, for a small fee, and will cut to size, so is this something I can do just as good as them? Any tips if so?

Why shouldn't you run a heater with a propane tank in the house?

I use a ventless propane heater to heat my garage. The hose to the propane tank is only 4 feet long so I have to keep the heater near the garage door in order to keep the tank outside. I would like to move the heater around the garage but I am concerned that it may be dangerous. What exactly is the danger?

Can you use a computerized bath tub that is made in Turkey in the States?

My husband and I are currently stationed in Turkey and they have a store like Home Depot that is selling a combination computerized jacuzzi shower sauna hot tub. It also has a radio and lights which means it is wired with 220v not 110v like the states. If we do buy it, is it easy to change it from 220v to 110v?
