Why is it that when someone asks a question in a do-it-yourself forum, there are always a handful of incompetents that answer "call a professional", because they themselves don't know how to do whatever is being asked? Is it just to get points for "answering" a question? Even though their answer simply indicates their own inability?

We are remodeling our bathroom. We just moved into this house, and the people who lived here before used some kind of tile that isnt supposed to be in the shower, so the tiles were falling off the walls. We removed all the tiles and noticed some black colored mold underneath the tiles, probably due to water build up behind there. How do we kill it before we put up new tile?

I'd like to obtain the ideal slump & mix in order to get the best workability and strength when it sets. The ones we poured earlier tuned out brittle, so I want to make sure we get the right mixture & slump for the next pour. (Only well informed anwers please)

I just installed new cabinets in my kitchen and I decided I would tile the countertop and backsplash. I was thinking of either putting 3/4" plywood or 3/4" fiberboard down and laying the tile ontop of that. Then I was planning on sealing the tile.
Here is my question. Since plywood has a tendency to warp, would it be better to use fiberboard instead... or will that sag after time?
Also, do you think its a good ideal to seal the wood (plywood or fiberboard) with a coat of polyurethane before laying the tile?
If anyone has ever done this before, any additional tips that you could think of will also be helpful
Thank you!

I need some real advice on what color of laminate kitchen counter top to install that would look nice with our medium wood stained oak cabinets. If the cabinets are considered to be of a darker color do you want to go with a lighter counter top or a dark counter top or does it matter? BTW The walls in the kitchen are white and the flooring has neutral earthones if that helps any.
