twicewise

I am trying to find a place to stay for a great experience in Washington DC that is not a budget buster. I am taking 5 people - including my niece and nephew - that really gives them a great time and nice visit. We'll be there June 26th to 28th. Thanks for any suggestions or help!!!

I have an old piano, and don't want to spend a ton of money redoing it. The white keys are mostly in-tact, with a few chips and bruises, but they are badly discolored; as in dark, blotchy colored. The keys covers have two pieces - one piece between the ebony keys, and another that covers the larger ends of the white keys. Rather than replace or recover the keys, I am wondering if I can paint them just for cosmetic purposes? Advice?

I am thinking about buying a house that has an OLD one. How much does a new one cost if it has to be replaced? How much do they cost to run vs. traditional furnaces? Thanks for any information or cautions.

I am looking for some good ideas to see England for the first time. I will be in Manchester on business for a week, but I have Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday to see some of England. What should I do?

Traveling to the UK on business in late September, and wondering how to dress. I am visiting another division of my company, so it is not a customer visit....just for training. Any advice is appreciated.
