Please let me know if you have! I need similar stories! I'm in the middle of trying to get SOMEONE to look into the fact that Im a victim of fraud under a rent-to-own scheme by Colorado State Business Group aka CSBG aka Core Realty. There's alot of web info about rise in mortgage & appraisal fraud & articles on how all these various politicians intend to do something about it, meanwhile, I cant get ANYone to look into my particular case. I "bought" a house from CSBG (Chris Stiebler, Andy Klein, owners) which I was to rent from them for 1 year, paying 1% of THEIR purchase price (claims paid 140k but I found out they paid 112k) which was $1400/mo. (I was to get 1/2 back for down pymnt- DIDN'T).At the end of the year I was to buy the house from CSBG for 15% above THEIR purchase price OR the appraised value, WHICHEVER WAS LESS. The appraiser THEY hired appraised at 165k. I found out @ refi later that appraisal was inflated & value @ the time was closer to 130K. I WAS SCREWED! HEEEEELLP!

I stripped all the old paint and varnish off and am down to bare wood (hard wood) I think. I just don't want a too dark of a color which would make the kitchen even smaller. I was thinking pecan or light oak color. Is the all in one ok to use or should I do the step by step method? Room size around 5x15. Very narrow but long

The walls of the elevator cab is American cherry furniture veneer. The floor space is small at about 10 square feet (2 3/4 feet x 3 3/4 feet). I'm looking for something durable, low maintenance, and not too expensive to install. I'm considering luxury vinyl (i.e., Amtico brand vinyl tiles), even if it's not very cost efficient to have the installer come out for such a small surface area. I'm wondering if there are other types of flooring or specific products I should consider. The elevator is in a residential building. Appreciate your suggestions!

My stove is similar to this one, http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/98/36070998_full.jpg

I just wanna know if it's gas or not.

My one has elements that heat up after you turn them on. There's no fire or anything.

I'd like some feedback from other MH owners. My MH park is located in El Cajon, CA. Another thing that seems a bit high is the 6% increase annually. Is this normal?

I am fortunate enough to live where there are no creepy-crawlies, but have a friend plagued with fire ants. She has two dogs.
Please no 'gas in the nest' or boiling water, etc..
This needs to be broadcast on the lawn.

growing right in the middle of my lilac bush?? I've tried digging it up and using a hatchet to chop it out. I only made it angry and it grew back in about 5 different places. I want it gone permanently but without ruining my lilac bush at the same time.

I am looking at buying a house that does not have a gas line to it (heated by oil). So, I could not switch the water heater from electric to gas. How much more expensive is it to run an electric water heater?
