I am moving a small-ish apartment with some (very) heavy furniture. Is it worth using a PODS or PackRat staorage container rather than making several trips and hassling friends and family?

Our new house is being built, but I couldn't get the cabinets Iwanted. They are really light oak, but I want to finish them to be mahogany. What is the process to do this? Will I have to strip them in order to stain them that dark or what? Please help. Thanks.

My realtor suggested that I upgrade to 200 watt service so I went to the hardware store and bought a new 200 amp breaker box and plan to install it tomorrow morning. I've never done anything pertaining to electricity in my life, and I really don't want to hire a professional. Do I just remove one wire at a time and wrap it with that black tape?

The roof over my kitchen (10'x30') is leaking and needs to be replaced, I'm not sure if I should do it myself or hire a pro do the work. Is it a very difficult thing to do? What is the average cost per square foot to have a pro do the work?

i want to make strapless, tea-length dresses for my bridesmaids and i feel bad asking them to pay $80 or more for it when they'll already have to come to the wedding. Would it be that hard for me to make them? I'm not bad w/ the sewing machine, but i'm concerned about slippery fabrics and boning.
