Its a fairly new couch, but the fabric is so scratchy. We don't want to spend more than necessary, I was just wondering if its worth it to have it done in a less scratchy fabric.

I am looking to buy a house plant (more like a small tree or a big cactus than a little flowering thing). What are reliable stores to get one at, or has anyone had luck using craigs list or ebay? What is a fair price (this might sound dumb, but I've never bought one before)?

My wife and I watch Flip This House and always see houses that some young couple buys, fixes, and then tries to resell for a tidy profit

I've seen a few episodes where they buy a Craftsman style home for "only" $600,000 dollars, put another $100,000 into it then try and sell it for $800,000.

The first thing I do is wonder what do they do to be able to get a loan on a $600,000 dollar home? Our Craftsman home was built in about 1929. Ours cost us about $60,000, the average price of other similar homes in our town. Is it really "location, location, location?" Is the housing market really that insane in other areas of the country (we live in Missouri)?

I am buying a brand new home. The builder ordered the wrong cabinets and refaced them. I have asked them them to rip out the refaced ones (Cherry Veneer over Oak), and replace them with the ones I ordered (Cherry). They won't budge. How concerned should I be about the quality/durability of what they are trying to give me. Will the life of refaced cabinets be the same as new ones??
