If instead of concreting my driveway completely, can I sprinkle concrete mix over the top of the gravel and add water to make a rocky surface but solid driveway?

I have tiles that go all the way around and up from the counter top on a wall in the kitchen. I would like to just have about 4 rows of nice tile and have drywall to continue upwards. What do I do first and what do I need to watch out for?

i'm taking an interior design class and i have to answer a question for a "client". a teenage girl has a large, colorful bedroom. one small wall is a hot pink, the small one with a window is a medium blue, a main wall is a rich purple (not pinkish or bluish) and the other main wall is a deep, bright green. all of the walls have a yellow and an orange stripe running horizontally around the room. she loves the room, but wants to tone it down a bit WITHOUT repainting it. i need specifics and i'm out of ideas so....yeah....
PS the family has a $50 budget to work with.

The floors were covered by some cheap clear coat product which is chipping in spots. There are a few scratches here and there too. How do I go about the whole project?

My house was built in 1951 and I would like to remodel the bathroom and was concerned about the matierials I'd be working with. I know I have asbestos in my basement tiles which is why I'm asking. The bathroom tiles are original and ceramic but what holds them is kind of like a concrete mixture over a metal grate for support. When it's broken up its really fine and gets everywhere. Is it possible asbestos was used in any of the materials I'd be working with?

Some repairs were made to parts of the ext wall and wall mounted AC units were removed also. The old shingles were removed but some broke so I have a mix of new and old shingles to reuse but they have to be cut to fit the patches and also around the windows. What and how do I cut and fit them?

How are you staying warm? Are you compensating to keep the bills low or are you just paying what it costs to keep your house warm?

If you don't mind answering, what are you paying each month to heat your place?

We use a humidifier in my 8 month-old son's room and it smells stale. I've changed the filter and we change the water every night, but it still smells sour. And it's definitely the humidifier - not the diaper pail, as I used that humidifier in a different, diaperless room before and got the same smell. Any suggestions?

I have this very nice laptop case with rubber zips, once I had my hands in ashes and I accidentally touched one of these zips, which are made out of rubber. It is now impossible to clean them - I tried with different cleaning liquids and it didn't work. How can I clean these rubber parts?

Thanks in advance,
