There's a house and barn on 15 acres for $75,000. The property is fenced and has two ponds. From what I've seen in the real estate world, this is a good price. There has to be a catch...and there is. The home is only 780 square feet. That'd be fine if it was just my husband and me, but we have three kids and hope to be blessed with more. Of course, we could always do an addition later. There is another catch...the house needs "repair and updating". It was built in 1940 and has the original carpet, linoleum, windows, etc. The electric has been updated. The biggest "problem" is that the original foundation was stone or something and the floor is starting to sag. The Realtor said that she bought a house a few years back that was having a similar problem and that they hired a contractor to go in and correct it. It cost her about $500. I would imagine it'd cost a little more than that now. Anyway, are fixer-uppers worth it?

I am looking to soundproof a room to help reduce the noise my dogs make when they bark. I have an upstairs neighbor who complains about the noise sometimes. What products can I use to soundproof the room? I've heard acoustic foam, egg cartons, and egg crates as suggestions. Do I need to soundproof just the ceiling or the walls as well? If someone can help me out that would be great!

I am moving into an apartment where I can't paint the walls. I was thinking of covering a section/1 wall of my bedroom with either brown paper [like the grocery bag material], bulletin board paper or just pieces of poster board.

I have been trying to think of or find ideas of some kind of art work to do. Something more along the lines of abstract art, but nothing really complicated, just a splash of fun.

If you know of any ideas or websites which have neat looking ideas/art works please share! Thanks! :]

In my home I need an extra room, but my living space is all taken up. Unfortunately I don't have a full basement, it's a "Michigan" basement with not much room. The walls are uneven, and the ground is uneven. All I really have down there is my washer and dryer, some storage, and a furnace.
What I'm wanting to do is add living space down there. Even if not much, maybe even just 20 square feet. What could I do to the walls and floor if anything to make it possible? Thanks!

I have a red/fuschia colored sofa, with navy blue and chocolate brown accent pillows. My boyfriend wants to paint the walls a blue color. It's a fairly large room, with a good amount of sunlight, but a dark color would really close in the area.... I would like to stick with blue as well, but I have no idea of the shade. Help?

I bought a 6 ft. ficus plant (plastic) for my living room .. but it only came in a tiny planter pot .. how do I get it to stand in a regular pot?
what am I supposed to put in there to take up the excess room so it doesn't fall over?
do I fill it with dirt??
It says to purchase a "decorative pot" .. but where? and what do I put in the "decorative pot" to make my ficus stand up tight so it doesn't lean??
thanks!

I'm a college student and in Sept I am moving into a townhouse with 4 other people. I am not allowed to paint the walls but I am buying a bed and dresser set from my aunt. Its black and I have decided to paint it since i really dont like the black. At first i thought i would paint it off white but white walls and a white bed and dresser would be to much white. I was thinking maybe a seafoam or mint green. Any other suggestions?
