Ok, I've been flipping homes for 10 years, done several dozen complete bathrooms, and I can't do a decent job with caulk.

Is it like singing, am I just tone deaf when it comes to caulking? Is it hopeless?

What is your secret to a quick, professional looking caulk job, is it like boxing as in moving your hips not just your arms, is it like spraying paint where you move your whole body not your wrists only?

What am I doing wrong, this is easy crap, and I can't seem to ever make it look decent.

Once the pilot is lit, which is prone to go out as well, the fire will only stay on for a short amount of time before it and the pilot goes out. This is preceded by a click similar to the sound that the button for the electric ignitor makes when being depressed. What does this sound like and what can we do here? Thanks.

Our laundry room is located on a crawl because of it was part of an addition to our house. It gets really cold back there and now the drain pipe froze so we can't do our laundry anymore. The water supply (both hot and cold) are still working fine. Any suggestions on how to thaw the drain pipe without having to go into the crawl space and heat it? The crawl space is not easily accessible and I am afraid to go in there. Help!

At school, I have this project called Career Choice. I WAS thinking about being a chemist, but chemicals might be explosive and dengerous. So I decided to be an Interior Decorator since the whole family was an Interior Decorator. Do I have to go to School just for decorating the inside of a house? Do I really need a degree and a cirtificate to decorate the inside of something?

I'm looking at purchasing about 130 acres. Most of the acrage is wooded. I'd like to let a logging company come in and clear cut about 80 acres. Can I set it up so that they'll removed all the stumps and clean up and regrade the land behind them rather than pay me for the timber? I'd like to make the 80 acres into horse pastures.

Thanks.
