I just installed an above ground pool and need 4 feet of level ground around it. After quite a bit of excavating, I have my 4 feet, but I have a round wall of dirt I have to hold back. Is there a way to get this built without breaking my back or my bank account? Thanks!!

I am going to be installing a concrete driveway. I have tore out the excisting asphalt driveway and formed up for the concrete. How do I install the expansion joints? Do you pour the concrete in one pour and then use a saw and cut the concrete where the joints need to go in? How often do they need to be placed for a 17' by 78' driveway?

There are two layers of linoleum. They appear to be very stuck-no bubbles or looseness. I'm really dreading having to scrape the linoleum and glue off the floor. Any suggestions?

I recently changed the light fitting in my lounge. It's connected to a dimmer switch. Now, if I turn the switch more than halfway, the lights start to flicker! What have I done wrong??

I've recently taken off wallpaper in a bathroom in my parent's house. They've had the same wallpaper since they moved in nearly 30 years ago. My goal is to repaint the walls and ceiling. Unfortunately, there is a bit of water damage in two areas -- right above the wall tiles which are directly above the floor. How do I know if the damage can be repaired or whether I should re-drywall? The two damaged spots are roughly 4x4 inches -- they aren't really holes but the drywall is starting to crumble and its a bit brown in color.

Will it really save us money if we want to go the route of making them ourselves? We want to have two or three layers of cardstock, probably (I can't think of what it would be called) not folded, but just one piece that you don't have to open to read. ??? It's late, I can't think straight. lol

We are both creative and crafty and have other people around us that can help. We have looked at invitations online and have seen ones that cost around $150-$200 for 100 that we like.

Should we make our own to save money or buy some to save the effort and time (we will have time to do it ourselves)?

I already know about theknot.com and weddingchannel.com (searched them over again and again -- The Knot has some great stuff with Real Weddings that has helped me out) and I have been looking at Brides, Elegant Brides, Modern Bride, etc. They all seem to focus more on the dresses and rings and not on decorations or reception ideas.

We are having an outdoor summertime evening wedding next year and we want it to be in between formal and informal. I was thinking of a country (but not gingham check tablecloths and sunflowers) and sunset theme (idea from a YahooAnswers buddy...Thanks Miss D!!).

Do you know of any books, magazines, websites that would for sure have ideas for what I am talking about or anything you think might have some ideas?

If so, I would greatly appreciate any help!

Thanks!
:)
