Is it bad for the grass if I just leave them? I just wanted to know if people pick them up for cosmetic reasons or if it's bad for the grass. I will pick them up regardless but just curious. Thank you for taking the time to answer!

The morons who built my house put the wallpaper right on top of bare sheetrock. I scored and soaked my paper and proceeded to try to remove it only to rip off the top layer of sheetrock paper. I have a huge messs. Anyone had this happen and what did you do? I have 4 bathrooms and I am really not happy about this. I would love to bend the person who did this over my knee. I'm pretty sure everyone knows better than that.

I'm trying to find one for my dorm room (maybe even one that hangs over the door). I've seen some at Walmart for about $6 a while back, but the Walmarts around here don't carry them for some reason.
Thanks!

I stayed in a house this Spring in southern France built in 1604 by the monks of the region. The fireplace both heated the house and cooked their food. It was about 6 feet wide without sides and I could stand up inside it. Its depth at floor level was probably no more than 20 inches (about 50 cm), with the back of the fireplace slanting forward until it reached the height of the mantel (about 5 1/2 feet, or 165 cm) where it then met the chimney and a smoke shelf and continued to to highest point of the roof.
Could anyone tell me where to find architectual plans for this type of fireplace? It rained the entire first week I was there and the temperature never got above 20 degrees C. but this fireplace never smoked and heated a large room with a high ceiling day and night for a week using far less wood than the conventional type found in the US and Canada.
Can anybody help me?

Do I need to use metal corner beading on an inside corner where the wall meets another wall or where the wall meets the ceiling? If not, do I just use the usual mud and tape?

We have a beautiful, but very fragile tile roof. The tiles break if you look at them too hard. They cannot support my bodyweight even if I am on my hands and knees.

I need to make a minor repair to a window located in the middle of the roof. I can only repair it from the outside. I need to cross about 7 ft of tile.

How can I cross the roof without breaking the tiles?

Hey all,
Every year we put up a huge display of holiday lights outside the house...but we always seem to run into the same problem. Every year, in the middle of December, the lights decide not to work, and trip the GFCI. Now im thinking that it has to do with the extension cord connections to the lights, which we have tried numerous times to seal from the elements...Do you have any suggestions or good ways to "seal" the plugs from the elements, and prevent the lights from tripping the GFCI?
