Hi All - I'm replacing 12" ceramic tile in my kitchen. My fiance had my stepson rip up the old tile and told him not to worry about damaging the plywood because "we're just cementing over it anyway". Now there are some good-sized chips in it. And I'm having trouble scraping up the mortar...

I'm starting to rethink my position on this topic. The lawyer I've been "working with" on house #3 has been dragging his heels on writing up the offer to purchase. Coincidentally, this house that has been on the market for over a year suddenly has another interested party - within a couple of...

I'm going to take up the old tile and put down 10x7 12" ceramic tiles with 1/8 inch grout. Not sure how much detailed I can get :) I'll take the appliances out first, of course! I spent $48 for 75 sq ft bag of thinset, which I now realize is cutting it kind of close, being a novice & all. So...

Hi All! I'm in the process of selling my house and flipping a real fixer-upper on a huge lot where I'll be building my "real" house. Wish the Lizard King and me luck getting through all this while remaining on speaking terms!

That's what we used to call a "habitrail".:D

Mine is a contemporary cape. I'll be building a contemporary cape log home with the same floor plan, only bigger!

I don't know what kind of math realtors uses to determine the buyer doesn't pay a cent toward brokers' fees. If I want to make $400K and I have to pay a realtor, the buyer's going to pay $424K. You obviously have internet access, so the realtor isn't going to show you anything you can't find...
