I have lots of pachysandra that's fighting with dandelions and other weeds. I remove the weeds but they come back. I'm thinking of using a chemical (round up) on the weeds and then mulching. Problems is, it would require a lot of mulch and I'm kinda broke. I have two large long needle pine trees and many, many pine needles. Do you think I can just use needles as mulch? The pachysandra is around a huge poplar tree, BTW, so the leaves will come down on it. Not sure if I'll accomplish anything with needles anyway. What do you think? I live in Maryland.

I told him his price per sq feet was way too high, and he said "well, you have add 100 sq. ft. to that because we're fininhing the stairs and putting in a knee-wall". It that right? How are the stairs usually taken into account so you can compare quotes?

Hi! What is the approx. cost to get a bathroom roughed in on the second floor, it is above the mainfloor bathroom. Existing pipes are copper. This is for a full bath. Would like a ball park figure, as I don't want to get too excited about the idea, if it's out of reach for us. Thanks!

Hi! We are going to put ceramic tile in the kitchen and bathroom(floors). We've removed the lino, and have a few issues. There is old hardwood that is not in good shape, we will be putting a new wooden subfloor down. Also the floor is sloped, and my husband is planning on levelling it with floor patch. We have done a porch before, so know some basics, like starting in the centre and stuff. Are his plans okay? Also I have been hearing about something called ?cement backing, is this something we have to do? Also we didn't seal any grout, but have heard mention of this. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I just finished taking of glued pieces of bamboo. I am planning on staining the table, but I that I need to sand the table first, right? There is still a bit of glue on the table. Do I need a sanding machine? Or if not, can I buy the appropriate sanding paper at Duane Reade?

I have a 1000 ft property line so sprays and stuff like that don't work. They let them out at night when I am sleeping and they do the deed. I have talked to them and they lie to my face saying they don't let them out. I don't want to fight with my neighbors.

I just got this coffee table that has a design on top that consists of bamboo like sticks glued on. Many of the sticks started to come loose and I just ended up removing them with the plan of just staining the table. Anyhow, there are a few sticks that are really hard to get off. Is there a clever trick to loosen the glue underneath to make them come off easier?
