The grout is only cracking around the bottom area where to tile meets the backsplash of the countertop? What would cause this to happen? The rest of the tile grout doesn't seem to be a problem. This is newly installed tile done by a contractor.

I'm getting my house painted. I just received a quote. The guy told me 1 color was nice. Said others were nice 2, but wouldn't coordinate w/ main color. The colors are Sherwin Williams Quixotic Plum as an accent wall in the family room and Mystic Mauve on the other walls. The main areas would be Latte. That's where he said the clash is coming.

This is how downstairs flows: Entry way to a 2 story foyer Immediately in front of you on right,stairs. To the left formal area - living & dining. From that room, or a hall, you come to the kitchen w/ a bay eat in. All those wall will be in Latte. Then you come to the family room. The wall facing you will be Quixotic Plum. The others will be Mystic Mauve. His suggestion is to do it Latte and do the other formal room QP. (no furniture yet - wanted the formal red).

What is your opinion? Is $1000 +200 4 paint bad? I'd say it's 1300 sq ft area - plus upstairs hall. The trim would be white - said cheaper to touch up stairrail.

Balls of thread on the bottom end of the fabric keep jamming the machine and I think it's because the needle is too big for the thickness of the fabric? Is this correct or is there another reason why the thread is collecting on the bottom side of the fabric while sewing? Thanks!

We've just finished a kitchen renovation and we were stunned to find that all of our hard work tracking down good Ikea cabinets & appliances is essentially wiped out by a 20% "owner-supplied materials" costs. What on earth is THAT??

I have to glue styrofoam bricks to plastic drop sheets (normally used for painting.) What do you recommend?

I hear hot glue melts styrofoam, and I've tried super glue (it melts the styrofoam.) Anything with solvents will melt the styrofoam, and accetone won't work, I've tried it.

Hello.

I would like to know what possibile ways there are to go about organizing photos. Like many people, I have tons of photos scattered about in my closet. Most of them (if not all) are not in any kind of albums. They're just everywhere.

I would like advice on how to go about organizing everything. Old prints, negatives, and digital. I want to know if I should invest in albums, scrapbooks, computer/online storage, etc. Most likely a combination of these things. Basically, I want them organized and I want them easy to access.

My goals after organiztion will be to perhaps get them into frames, portfolios, give out, etc. But until then, I would like to know how I should go about organizing them ALL. What I need to buy, how to get started with this mess, how to get them all together, etc.

Any/all ideas will be appreciated. Thank you!

[Serious answers only please.]

I am looking for a web site that has ideas for separated deck with fire pit. Now the catch is, this deck needs to be covered? This is Washington area, and beautiful. Maybe build in BBQ area. Lap pool on lower level of area on the right side of the yard, also a hot tub flowing in lap pool possible with a sauna in design. Idea is to finish the deck that was started and add all these other amenities. This yard is already beautiful. There are animals that come and eat in the fairy setting.
The family likes to entertain out in the back. They want shelter from the rain and still be able to enjoy the out side. The fire pit will eventually be in the center of the deck.
The idea is a good one. I am looking for different web sites with pictures of designs that can fit this description. This is a presentation I am proposing for a final project and portfolio.
