I'd like to erect a memorial to Hilter in my backyard. I'm starting out with a 20 x 20 foot free-standing swastika made of wood, and could use some suggestions as to which wood would be the most durable and hold up the best, weatherwise. Cedar? Pressure-treated pine? Appreciate the help.

Recently, my stepfather and I fixed a portion of my ceiling that needed replaced. However, after he, the handyman, was gone, it was left to me to paint the ceiling, including the space where he had used to even it out with sheetrock joint compound. I painted the ceiling and it looked pretty good, but parts of the joint compounded area didn't look good enough in my opinion. So, I decided to prime the spot and paint over it. It looked worse, so the genuis that I am thought one more layer of primer and paint would make things better, Needless to say, I now have a spot on my ceiling that looks almost gray rather than white. What do I do? I tried sanding it, but it is hardly making a dent in it.

I am putting the rope lights behind crown molding. I am installing an outlet behind the crown that the lights will be plugged in to. If I wire a dimmer switch to the outlet will it dim the rope lights? Will dimming the rope lights work?
