Thanks for the ideas. I'll keep checking back and run these by my wife. She's wanting to go with a more sophisticated look in the main bath and she's not sure yet what she wants in the other bath. If you have any "sophisticated" ideas let me know.

We're looking to buy closet storage/organizers for a couple of our closets. What type do you all use and would you mind giving me an idea of the price range?

I'm no Bob Vila by any means and my wife and I replaced our kitchen cabinets ourselves about a year ago. We did like Bill said and took all our measurements and went to Lowes. We chose the style and color we wanted and they put together the right sized cabinets for our measurements. Then we...

I'm glad I read through this thread. I was considering knocking out a wall in our house, but after reading all this, I'm going to call someone out before I do a thing. Seems there are too many variables for the untrained eye to really know what's going on.

I prefer a traditional fireplace. And, basically, for all the same reasons the other poster mentioned. Not only that, but there are so many different types of woods that you can choose from, so if your budget is a little tighter this month, you can go with a cheaper wood, or if you have money...

I have Guardian and we're very, very happy with them.

I'd say shop around. In my area we have a company called Guardian and they're a bit cheaper than ADT and offer all the same services. I did my homework before going with them, checked the BBB, asked other people and got satisfactory reports from all.

that sounds really good to me, too. i'd like more info. on that, too.

My mom wants a bay window installed where she currently has 2 large windows. Is this a difficult, involved project? Tips, advice please.

For those of you more experienced do-it-yourselfers, how difficult would it be to take out a tub and put in a shower stall?

My wife and I are looking to paint the bathrooms. We want to get rid of the white. Any suggestions on nice colors for the bathrooms?

Hey, I think I responded to another one of your posts about wall coverings. As I was saying in my other post, we just got done remodeling my brother's bathroom. He chose ceramic tile for the floor. This is quite a project if you're new to doing tile, but, I think all in all it'll last you a...

Hey there. I bought one of these buildings about 3 years ago. It's a really sturdy building, not a bad price and I thought the people I dealt with at the company were great. They were patient with me while I asked them question after question about the buildings they offer and all that. I...

Hey, we just got done doing this at my brother's house. He got a water resistandt wall board at Lowes. It's not bad looking at all and it was quite affordable. I think it's an option worth looking into.

We're looking to replace our old heat pump. We've looked into several different units and came across Amana. What are your thoughts, experiences with the Amana heat pumps? Thanks!
