Decorating & Remodeling - December 2006

Well, I grew up in this house. I ended up living here with my dad until he passed 2 years ago. It feels depressing here, but my husband and dog and so forth keep me feeling better. The inside is nice, but the bathroom and kitchen and porch needs some work. It has 14 rooms, including only one bathroom. It needs to be rewired for safety reasons and the outside needs a lot of work to look really nice. I live on a farm, back a lane and no one really sees it except for the farmers we lease the land to and a few friends and family. I just want something more, since I have a good job now and land to work with. I could rent it out and build a home. We have one rental house on our farm already--getting 300 a month for that one. This is a small, rural town and I could not rent this one for more than 450 most likely--although it is in much better condition. Should I save more money by not fixing it up so that I can later build a new one or should I fix this up? What do you suggest? :)

Hi,
I'm about to decorate and there are a few small cracks in the plaster work which I would normally cover with filler. Does anyone know a better way of dealing with cracks in plaster. I've heard that there is a tape which can be used.
Any idea would be gratefully received.

The Yahoo community helped greatly to select the size of the materials to build a 2nd florr for my shed. 2 X 6 beams with 3/4 inch plywood is what I will use.

Question: With 2 X 6 beams, I assume I will need 8 " nails to secure the beams to the wood frame. How many nails on each end to lay the beams?

Also, what size nails or screws to secure the flooring to the 2 X 6 beams?

I recently moved into my house and i have wood kitchen cabinets that were painted white. I believe they were originally oak. I would really like to paint them with a dark wood faux finish - to look similar to my cherry wood furniture. I just don't know if this is even possible! I have a little experince painting - but i've never done a faux finish before. If anyone has experince with this could they please tell me how this should be done - or if i should even attempt it at all! thanks!
