The best area for me to put a vent for my dryer is through my roof rather than the normal place, out the side of your house. Will this ruin my roof at all and what about snow, etc. getting into it?

I am buying a house and the toilet was spray painted (graffity) and I was wondering if I can paint it (decorative) with some sort of waterproof paint or something for ceramic, any suggestions? Does it work? It would be nice to match it to my decoration.

I want to remodel a house with radiant ceiling heat. If I disturb any of the ceiling panels it may blow the whole heating system for the entire house. How can this be prevented?

Our kid's bathroom has white hexagon flooor tiles, and wall tiles 2/3 the way up which are white with little tiny brown speckles making it look a little cream colored. What sort of sink and countertop would you put in, what sort of style would you suggest? Thanks.

I want to decorate my daughters room. I can't draw and I would like to add birds, clouds and different characters on her walls. Is there a website or a store where I can buy the stencils and just paint them in myself?

I live right outside of Philly and want to do some renovations...and eventually sell my place. Should I add a 3/4 bathroom or redo the 70's style kitchen? Which will improve my resale value?

I need ideas on how to encourage passing trade to a 1640 inn on a high street in a little town in the cotswolds which looks tired one the outside when in fact the new Landlady has redecorated the interior. The inn is in competition with three other outlets that serve food and drink, but it has the added advantage of of a lovely long burgage garden which is delightful in summer and attracts walkers and tourists. Any ideas on how to spruce up the facade which is currently Tudor black and white (on a shoestring I might add!) would be most welcome. Also any ideas on how to spruce up the outside toilets to avoid visiters taking one look at them and walking straight out is would be most appreciated!

My house is a raised ranch. My living rrom and dining room, hallway and entry way are all the same wall basically. I painted it a mustard yellowy golden color for walls. The ceiling is a buttery yellowish color. I have a dining room set that could adapt to the Tuscan theme. I am changing my old living room furniture. What should I buy? I want a love seat and 2 side chairs only. Coffee table and probably 1 end table. I was looking on line for pictures of Tuscan decor. I can't find them. I'm finding pictures of places in Italy but not appropriate for my budget or taste. What colors should I buy for furniture? My kitchen is in a dark red brickcolor which goes well with the gold in the other rooms, since you see all the rooms as you come up the staris and I have red and gold accent pieces in my kitchen.

Can someone help?
