My husband likes to spend money on cars and his dune buggy and four wheel drives, i was trying to prove a point, so i special ordered a la-z-boy sectional that put us out about 3500 dollars, it has 2 recliners and a queen size fold out bed. My problem is that we just moved and it wont fit into my new living room, now i have it seperated and it doesnt look right...does anyone know of a buy back program by the company? i just got my couch a few months ago.

On appliances it is $129 each for 4 years for a fridge and stove, and $99 for dishwasher. Is $357 worth it for 3 appliances?

Costs like $230 for a 32" LCD TV for 2 years warranty. Is that worth it?

I know, I know ... this is a question only I can answer, but I'm looking for some things to think about as I make my decision. Here are the facts:

1. my current house is not just too small, it has all sorts of problems, most of them because the original construction was shoddy (1950s), and there has been a lot of work (including additions) done by do-it-yourselfers who couldn't do it themselves.

2. some of the problems are actually safety issues

3. I live on a highly desirable piece of property in terms of location (access to highways and walking distance to public transit)

4. I try really hard to be an environmentalist. I don't think all of these mcmansion communities are great (but secretly want one).

5. I live in a highly built-up area where tracts of land are scarce and expensive.

This question is really big for me and causing me a lot of stress at the moment. What questions should I ask myself? What is generally the most economical option (is it remodel?)?

Building a plaster strip wrapped fairy tale looking tree. I'm building a small wire meshed tree about 2 ft tall. Inside it is half an oat meal box. The mesh will be shaped into the body of a gnarled tree much like you would see in a fairy glen in a disney cartoon. The mesh is going to be wrapped with strips of plaster covered cloth I bought from Michael's craft store. The tree will be painted and accented but for the life of me, I can't think what I should use for the leaves. I thought about clipping the ends of thick yarn and gluing them in place. I thought about using small oblong beads and glueing them in place, but nothing jumps out at me. The tree is a valentines day box for my daughter's party. The parents have to make them. My daughter is almost 4 yrs old and she really likes disney fairies merchandise like tinker bell. I'm wanting the tree to be built well enough to win, but durable enough she can include it with her other toys. Any ideas people?

I am considering buying a small cottage and adjacent land in Ireland for use primarily as a holiday home. I have narrowed down my choices to two properties. Both are in exceptionally scenic areas affording privacy and stunning natural landscapes. However, one has already been modernised (renovated) and sells for about 40,000EURO more than the other. Would I be saving money to buy the 'project' house and renovating it myself, or is it potentially a money pit and I'd end up spending more than the already-finished property? When I say 'renovate it myself' I mean hiring people to do it for me, since I'm completely naive about these things and helpless when it comes to DIY projects. So, my question is what can I expect to pay in order to renovate a small 200-year-old Irish cottage in disrepair but sound structural condition to a high standard, and how long would this take? Thanks in advance.

I'm getting a new cherry stain wood bedset and I don't know if I should try to find something that light or if i should go with a darker color. I've been going crazy with the smart color on behr.com .... i looked at colors like adobe straw and raspberry pudding...i just don't know really.

I want to get like a beige netural color or some dark red purple color..... any suggestions would be helpful or if you could perhaps direct me towards some bedroom pictures that have different wall colors for inspiration...thank you.

I thought I read somewhere( in one those do-it-yourself magazines), that you could use a kind of oil-based paint to paint a kitchen countertop that's good around sinks and strong and won't bubble or peel. What do you guys out there know about this stuff?
(It's not marble, it's the other stuff. The one most people use. Can't spell it, though.)
