What have others found to be the best types of home security systems out there? We have some lights that come on automatically, which have been effective in scaring off would-be intruders at least twice since we moved in here. I'm thinking of having a new security system put in, but there are...

We have one of those old ugly popcorn ceilings in one of the dens. The roof had a small nail hole where water leaked in and discolored the popcorn ceiling. I fixed the roof, but the ceiling is still discolored no matter how many times I paint over the thing. I think this summer is the one where...

Does anyone else have experience inserting those small decorative 2-inch square tiles inside the larger kitchen wall tiles? What is the difficulty level? My wife insists on using them in our kitchen, but I'm not sure I want to tackle the job. What's wrong with just regular, same-sized tiles?

Our disposal stopped working, so we tried resetting it. That didn't work, so my husband went crazy flipping the fuse box switches back and forth. Now our built-in microwave is not working. Could he have shorted it out when he was going crazy with those switches? It's less than a year old.
