    Got an estimate on a small 'deck'...

    Well, obviously you location plays a role in pricing; I would make sure you get at least 3 estimates to compare them. Again, price shouldn't be the most important thing; make sure the contractors are insured and bonded with the proper licenses.

    Removing rock from hole (<--help please)

    You can try wetting the area around the rock with "hot water" to see if you can dig around it. Could you post a picture with a rule parallel to the rock?

    What's the skinny, Oldog/Newtrick?

    Islam is a religion, your thinking of Sharia.

    What's the skinny, Oldog/Newtrick?

    Sadly it's most likely because they think Muslim = terrorist, it seems like we're going back to the old days when the Catholic church hunted down, found guilty and burned pagans.

    Single Source, multiple switches and lights

    So, you want to connect them without a junction box? I'm not sure if that's safe and to code, but I'm not a certified electrician either.
