I'll start :) I've been a mostly-lurker, sometimes-poster here for at least 5 years, and these are the ones I remember seeing repeatedly.
How do I replace chipped/cracked/stained tiles and/or grout?
How do I/how should I replace/reface my kitchen cabinets?
What countertop or flooring materials should I use?
How much should it cost to do x, where x = repave a driveway, remove a dead tree, or replace a roof?
How do I remove wallpaper/how do I fix the messed up walls underneath the wallpaper?
What's the best paint?
