I live in central Indiana, Bloomington. My father has given me some land to build on. I am a real do-it-yourself kind of person. Anyone have any suggestions? I like to save money doing it myself than pay someone else to do it. I am trying to get an idea on what I want to build. Is it easier to build one story vs two? What about energy costs? I don't want a big house, something small and simple, two bedrooms. I have lucked out, and have city water and sewer and electricty already run through the area (my dad has a house on the land too). What type of foundation should I look into? I prefer a slab, but would that work in my area? Sorry about all the questions, does anyone know anything to help?

...This is probably a dumb question, but I'm trying to figure out what size boards I need for a project I'm doing, and I'm looking at some lumber online and I don't understand what measurements like 1x2x6 mean....is that in inches? feet? Is that width, length, or what?

So....what do measurements like 1x2x6 mean?

Is there anyone out there that prefers to cut crown molding laying flat on the bed on the miter saw? I tried this method last night and it was so much easier than trying to position it at a 45 degree angle against the fence. All you have to do is set the bed at 31.65 degrees and the blade at 33.65 degees. If you don't have a double compound miter saw like me, do the following when you're cutting the piece on the right side, the bottom has to be up agaist the fence and when cutting the left hand peice the top has to be up against the fence.

My house was built in 1954, and the walls and ceiling are composed of early drywall (very small sheets) and a finish coat of plaster over the drywall. On the living room and connected dining room ceiling, someone put on a textured plaster coat, probably over the finish coat at a later date. The texture is terrible, with what I call stalagtites... numerous ridges 2" long and roughly 1" apart, hanging down up to 1/2".

I've tried to knock the ridges down with a scraper, with limited success. In one area, the texture plaster separated from the ceiling entirely, but in most places it's holding firm. The scraping has resulted in reducing the height of the ridges, but it still looks terrible. Sanding the entire ceiling seems like a ton of work and I'm dubious about results. I'm looking for suggestions on how to either smooth the ceiling to a "milder" texture or to remove the texture coat of plaster entirely.
