I want to build a little shed type thing in my back yard that I can put a couch inside... I don't really know how to build things very well... We just want a lil place we can hang out, smoke and drink in and not have anyone bother us... Something small, made outta wood, with a door, doesnt need windows... We're thinking we'll make it out of wood, but if anyone has a better suggestion, feel free to tell me... I need to know how to make a lil shed, where to start? tips on how to build it...

It's that plastic numbering used on t-shirts to make numbers. I peeled off most of it (75%), but some parts are impossible to take off. Any home remedies?

My hubby glopped it all over each tile, did not use the sponge to clean the tiles and is now gone 10 weeks out of town. I am using a razor blade and scraping each tile, there are over 400 tiles and the grout is over 1/4 inch thick between the tiles. It is a mess. Should I just scrape it all off and redo it myself leaving the tiles washed off and clean with the sponge? Or is there a rinse/acid to use that I can buy at home depot??

We live in Maine and have our own well. The water smells no matter what temperature it is (hot or cold). Looks like we have a lot of iron in the water as well because the toilets and sinks get stained brown.

Trimco urethan (I believe) caulking was used on the hairline cracks on the stucco. The hairline crack got pretty big over the spot where the water came through. Can stucco be put over this? Also, I think it would be a good idea to go with the hose to be sure all cracks were covered? I have a person (who supposedly does waterproofing and caulking as his business)who is doing this for me, but he just covered the drywall, hole and all, with plaster. I asked him to replace the drywall and he said he would come back to do this. What else should I know? My feeling is that he is trying to do as little work as possible. I'm so glad I found this link. Thank you all for your help.
