My husband and I just purchased a condo. We want to retile the bathroom in a more modern looking tile or maybe a marble or some kind of fancy tile. We are going to do it ourselves. Where can we find good prices on the tile?

i had to dig up my lilies to plant them in another part of my yard and they turned brown and their laying on the ground. Did i kill them or will they come back? I water them once a week so its not from dehydration. If they do come back about how long does it take.

We've got a wooded lot and had someone recommend gutter guards. If we don't install them, how often should the gutters be cleaned?

Thanks!

My water bill - usually $80 quarterly, has jumped to a $270 quartly bill. It appears to be water leak/running somewhere . Do I call a plumber because the problem is not visually obvious to me and I'm wondering if plumbers have a technique that would search all the water lines, find and solve this problem - is this possible?

My microwave began making a loud noise while operating today, and it also stopped heating. It is a GE, and it is about 7 years old. If possible, I would like to fix it myself, rather than call out an expensive repairman. Any one know about microwaves, that could give me some ideas of what might be wrong?

I am refinishing an oak kitchen table, and I have already applied three coats of polyurethane gloss, (which took much longer to dry than the instructions said). I used no other wood treatment, just sanded and cleaned the top.

The wood seems to be soaking up the polyu, especially in a few pieces of the oak composite tabletop and is leaving a definate wood grain. I want a smooth, durable finish. Is there a limit on coats? Any other suggestions or help?

The whole house needs to be rewired. We have a generator but it is very loud and sucks up a lot of gas. I have tons of candles and I will be buying other types of lighting but I was wonder what is the best thing to get. Hoping that maybe there is something out there that I don't know about... you never know. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a side fire box for my smoker and am unable to maintain a 250 deg. temp using charcoal and wood chips. The manufacturer recommends using wood logs to fuel the fire.

I'm talking about leaving is running for 2-3 seconds after I turn the water off. I understand that it is designed to run with the water on, but the water isn't essential to lubricate a bearing or anything, right? My wife jumps on my case if I turn the water off first, and says that I'm going to ruin it...
