Did anyone see the Penn State and Notre Dame games? I am distraught - two of my teams shot down in the last couple of seconds - would go find a football chat room but cannot hold myself together long enough to surf for one without crying.

Actually, the Japanese are doing some interesting things with steel prefab homes, especially in earthquake zones - anyone seen anything on them? I don't recall a brand name, but I saw one being delivered and installed on a PBS show a few years ago.

The Rocio (sic) Romero homes are incredible, at least from the design - I looked into getting one, but they are NOT cheap - I don't know anything quite the same, unless you try to build one yourself.

prices are good, but the premanufactured stuff is low in stock - you might consider waiting for the spring specials

How much does glass brick usually cost? And is it an easy material to use?

Seems a tad indiscriminate - unless you want your life to look like bad northern Renaissance -

I just found an ad in my e-mail - Lumber Liquidators - looks interesting, may be exactly what you are seeking - lumberliquidators.com

Depends on where you live, of course - do you intend to use it during a cold winter (a real treat, if you can stand the walk) - do you have it completely outdoors, or on a deck with some covering (screened-in, glassed-in porch?) -

Travis may be the most talented, but Genevieve from "Trading Spaces" and "Town Haul" is the cutest (with Candace from "Divine Design" a very close second LOL)

you might want to consider clearing an area and building a small patio - some z-bricks work nicely for such a task - a friend and I did a little 10' x 10' a few years ago, took us a day.

And by the by, the courts have repeatedly upheld restrictive housing covenants and building regs/by-laws/approvals, as long as there is no race-based element in the covenants.

C.S. Lewis makes a remark somewhere that the "day will come" when everything in England is so tightly regulated that a man won't be allowed to cut down one of his own trees and build a shed or even a ladder without government permission - he wrote that in the late 40s or early 50s - I can only...

I would go with cork, on balance - it holds its looks better over time, although linoleum is a bit easier to clean

I lived off of kerosene heaters in Iowa winters for five years - never had a problem with them, but I would go for a good space heater with a decent blower fan instead. Kerosene prices will spike just like everything else has.

I just painted a bedroom with a similar bedset - I didn't think it would look good, but the client went for a crimson with a perlescent sheen, and a bronze trim - didn't darken the room much and looked striking with the blue.

This may sound strange, but - I recently installed a new toilet and I don't have the slightest idea about what to do with the old one - do I just take it to the junkyard, or does someone recycle old toilets?

I purchased a stand-alone storage unit from "Hold Everything" - turned out to be weak, unstable, not at all worth what I paid for it - has anyone else had problems with their products?

There is a guy selling a book on infomercials now who claims to be able to get rid of almost any pest - you might want to check it out.

I am going with fireplace more this year, and using large plexiglas sheets on the outside of my windows as well as plastic inside - also, check your flooring and subflooring - I strung up some insulation in my basement and saved a good bit last year (I live in an old house, tho). Also, electric...

Appliances are nearly never worth fixing, unless they are state of the art, top of the line, and then most sensible people buy the warranty - you can pick up a decent Whirlpool for 249.
