I have a small statue and was wondering if there was an easier way of telling if it is copper or just tin?

The house we bought does not have a fireplace and I desperately want one. I've looked at Electric ones but want to consider putting in an actual woodburning fireplace. Is this difficult? Expensive?

Excluding Home Depot and Lowes…

I’m having some remodeling work done and I’m really starting to hate that I even started this project. The contractors never show up on time, and sometimes they say they are coming and don’t even show up.

Now the one of contractors screwed up my door order (he reversed the doors-front & back) and now he’s giving me grief about it.

And to think, someone recommended these screwballs!

unfortunatley, its the room you walk into from the front door, which everyone uses to enter the house. directly in front of you as you walk in the house is the staircase to 2nd floor, on right is kitchen and you walk through the dining room to get to the living room and rest of the house. I would like to do something to separate it somehow, maybe with a screen between the table and the "walkway" part of the room. I also want to have a traditional feel to match the rest of the house.

The glue on my sink skirt sucks. Does anyone know a good adhesive to stick a sink skirt (thin plastic) onto a ceramic sink? I have tried velcro and some other elmer's like junk. What will work on these two substances, it really looks nice when on. Thanks.
