I have a guy I like, his birthday is coming up. He remodels inside homes alot, his tools are in rough shape from what I can see. His phillip screwdrivers are all nearly stripped. I want to get him something useful and he can have a long time…………………he has a circular saw he uses to cut wood but mentioned something about another type of saw. Guys – - what would this handy guy like that would really make him happy? Without spending alot of money…………..I really need your ideas/input.

We completely redid our bathroom ourselves. Can we claim any of it when we itemize. We saved all of the home depot and lowes receipts. They add up to about $800. Also, we have a few receipts from the December of 2009 that we never claimed. Can we claim those on our 2010 taxes? Thanks!
Ok, thanks!

I just want to understand how it works. Can you get it online or do you need to go to a branch? Do you need to present estimates? How do you agree on a amount? Is it better than a regular loan?

we are remodeling the home, and want to take the opportunity to add speakers, and connect all tv’s to a system that will allow us to connect to our computer, radio and cable.
Not a home theater, but at multiple locations the house.
Thx mariano

I have a home in Manchester Tn and we have been slowly remodeling the home. It is about 2100 sq ft of living space. Our normal electric bill is about 150 a month. We would like to add some solar panels to the home to help reduce the amount of the bill. How many panels do I need and what would be the cost? I am not trying to go completely of the grid but I would like to start somewhere and maybe over the years be able to add. What is your recommendation for a reasonable cost of under 2 to 3 k??

My family has grown too big for our small home. We have been discussing remodeling our home and adding an addition on with more rooms. However, our home is a 1970 modular home and is in bad shape. In the remodeling process we have to put on a new roof, replace all the windows, and do something about the mold in the floor and walls. The thing is we still owe about $50,000 on our home. What should we do? Remodel the existing home and add an addition OR build a new home and tear down the old one?
