MEASURING WATTAGE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
If a cup of ice-cold water in a glass boils in less than 2 minutes, your oven is 1000 watts or more. If it boils in 2,5 minutes, it's 800 watts or more. If water boils in 3 minutes, it is an average wattage oven 650 to 700 approx. If it boils in more than 3 minutes, it is a low wattage oven, 300 to 500 watts.

Tuxedos last a long time and rarely go out of style. If you need to wear one even once a year, it pays to buy one and avoid the ordeal of renting.

BUILDING A LOG CABIN FROM A KIT
To estimate the cost of a finished log cabin built from a kit, double the cost of the kit and then add some. By the time you are done, it will cost $60,000 to $70,000 to build a log cabin from a $30,000 kit - and that's if you do the work yourself.
