My kitchen currently has hideous, upside-down wallpaper over the sink and stove. I know tile is a popular choice, but can be expensive and labor intensive. Any ideas for a less pricey, easier do-it-yourself material for a backsplash?

My washing machine connectors and drain pipe are in my kitchen. There isn't any room for the washer and dryer in there.I want to move it to the room on the other side of where my kitchen sink is. I want to know if i can hook the washer to the sink for hot and cold water and for the washer to drain? How would i go about that??

I want to do it myself as it isn't a complicated repair. But does anyone have a website with clear instructions concerning this or can they just tell me how to do it?
THANKS!

This do-hickie is the flames-coming-out-of the-many-holes do-hickie. The furnace is 30+ years old, and a big pile (literally) of rust has accumulated under it...I'd guess maybe a pint or 2 of rust dust. Other than turning off the gas line that feeds the furnace, what else do I need to do before replacing the do-hickie? My wife says to increase my life insurance and our homeowner's insurance..

I'm thinking about putting ceramic tile in our kitchen and have seen both pros and cons of doing it yourself. Figuring that a contractor will cost $5 per square foot, and I have about 250+ square feet to cover, that comes out to about $1250.00. What would the same project realistically cost if I did it myself? There shouldn't be many fancy cuts involved - although two layers of vinyl would need to be torn up (I'd probably do that myself anyway).

Right now I have them at 11" apart but I heard they have to be no more than 6". I live in Texas, does anyone know how to find out the building code, if any, for this?

We have heard/read that it is no longer suggested to put in concrete/quickcrete when installating a fence (only in the holes were the posts will be placed). We heard that over time it corrodes the hole, is this true? It was also suggested to just put gravel in the hole instead. What is the correct way, we can seem to find a straight consistent answer anywhere! Also what is the typical wait time for a utility company to come out and mark lines where we can not dig?

I plan to install a direct to stud kit in my bathroom. I do not want to remove the wallboard, but rather go over top of the existing tile. I need to remove the outer row of tile so the kit will sit flush against the wall. I don't know if there is a stud behind where I need to screw it to the wall; probably not. Can I just use adhesive to attach it to the wall or do I need to screw it in? If so, what is the best kind of adhesive?

I inherited my parents' home, a lakefront cottage whose foundation is covered in external insulation...sheets of styrofoam-like stuff. In places this is exposed maybe two feet above the ground line. It is extremely ugly, and over the years it's begun to crumble in places. My idea is to mound up landscaping stone -- septic stone -- and hide the exposed insulation. Has anyone else had to deal with this? I don't have a lot of money for home repairs, and I suspect that this is one of the less expensive ways of hiding the foundation. Help me, home gurus!
