I read an article that said a cheap way to make an old coffee table top look nice is to wall paper it. Do you think this would be tacky looking?

Can I use a reciprocal saw to cut tree branches? Will it do an adequate job, or will overload the saw? Thanks.

Can you do your own addition to your house if you take responsibility as the general contractor of your home and get all the permits? Can I hire a subcontractor? If I do does he have to be licensed? All my electricians and plumbers are licensed in Chicago but does my subcontractor have to be as well? Let me know for 10 POINTS! thanks

What cleaning supplies would you recommend using and are there any particularly tough spots that many people would miss. I don't mind the smell so much but my wife doesn't appreciate it at all. Thanks for any suggestions.

I moved in this house 2 yrs ago and recently bought a new fridge to replace the old crappy 1970's looking one that was here. It is a GE side by side with ice and water dispenser on door. I thought I would need a plumber to run the water line but when I pulled it out to clean back there I notced I do have a water spicket back there. Do I still need a plumber? I am paying the $10 for the guys who move it in the hosue to hook it up but dont know if I need more then what is already there. What I saw was a square hole neatly cut into the wall behind fridge and a water spicket valve. Thanks!

We are looking for the most cost effective way to build a patio outside of our walkout basement. We live in Ohio, so snow is an issue. Can we use ceramic tile? Any other options besides pavers?

I moved into a vacant trailor and now after a couple of weeks of living there, some small animal has eaten a small cactus and a beautiful fast growing ivy completely gone. What kind of animal may I be looking for?

Many of my plants are sensitive to the chemicals found in our tap water (flouride, salts, chloride, etc) but i cannot afford to keep buying specialized water for them. So my paIm have brown spots on the leaves and my spathes have brown tips.

I hear rainwater is great, but it dosent rain everyday, plus i live in an apartment-which makes rainwater collecting awkward. I have about 26 plants. mostly tropical foilage and maybe a few succulents......

About two years ago I purchased a fairly expensive (for me) suit jacket. I've worn it once or twice, but the remainder of the time it's been in my closet on a cedar hanger. I just noticed 3 or 4 small holes in the jacket which are 2-3mm each. The holes are on the back shoulder portion of the jacket. I think moths may be the guilty parties, but that doesn't really matter at this point. Is there anything that can be done to repair the jacket, or is it a loss?
