We have just scrubbed 250 years worth of grime off my sons cottage beams, they are now a nice mellow colour, how do we treat them? Someone suggested beeswax, another person said varnish, any ideas out there?

I recently hired a small construction/design company to do some small living room remodeling for me. This involved putting up drywall and painting. They said they would be done in 3 days, and they were. The problem was the work was done very sloppy. There are "tape" lines visible in the wall, paint on our carpet, coffee tables, and brand new $800 fireplace. We called the owner, and he gave us alot of attitude on the phone, but sent the guy back out to correct everything. He came back out, but could not get all of the paint off the fireplace, and the tape lines are still there, as well as new "puddy" marks where he tried covering up other things. I don't want them coming back out, cause who knows what they'll do next, do I have to keep giving them the opprotunity to fix it, or can I just tell them to get lost? We have a contract that he signed, but he never had me sign it, and it says "payment due upon completion", but it is not complete. Can I stiff them?

Does anyone use an electric fireplace? If so, is your electric bill huge? Does it warm a room? How often do you use it? We'd like to eventually have a gas one put in, but we're thinking about an electric one for the time being....?

I'm staining it the same color. I've already got most of it sanded except the trim with has little 1/2 inch niches in it. It will be hard to sand it without ruining the details and their shape. Can I leave them be? Or just sand them a little bit?

I'm looking to re-do my bedroom. I just revamped an old chest of drawers by painting it black and adding new nickel hardware. I really love black furniture, but I really want to paint my room a chocolate brown. Would this look ridiculous? Help!
