How many bricks do you need to cover a 12' X 12' room?

Assuming a brick is 4" x 8", if you lay out your bricks, 3 wide and 3 long, you'll get an area 12 inches x 24 inches. So every 9 brick, you'll cover 2 square feet. This gives the basic calculation of 4.5 bricks per square foot. A 12' x 12' room is 144 square feet. 144 x 4.5 = 648 bricks needed

What is the ground water temperature in Costa Rica?

It depends on which part of the country are you measuring the temperature (because of the altitude) and the aquifer´s depth you are measuring the temperature at. Rule of thumb in this case is that for shallow aquifers, ground water is going to be some degrees (celsius) lower than the mean environ. temperature for the site. From own experience in Alajuela or Heredia, GW temperature might be 20 °C, but as I said, it depends on altitude, GW depth among other factors.

Any advantage of dutch lap over traditional lap vinyl siding?

Overall there is little advantage between the two. I would go with the product that looks best for your house. If you use a high quality (40 mill or higher) vinyl siding either will look nice if installed properly. Dutch lap fits tighter at the overlaps due to the extra bend. Often times, traditional lap siding, if "stretched", will cup at the seams, Dutch lap in general is not a prone to this problem as bad. Don't focus this minor problem, just make sure you get a good product and hire a reputable installer and you house will look like new again.

Should a shower curtain be placed at ceiling height or at tile height if tile does not extend up to ceiling?

The purpose of a shower curtain is to contain water - keeping it off the floor and the wall, especially if it is not covered in a waterproof surface material. One important factor in hanging the curtain is the height of the people showering. A tall person whose head is closer to the shower head will put a lot more water up and out of the shower enclosure than a shorter person. In the planning stages of a plumbing project, you can place the shower head higher than normal (nice for us tall folks, anyway) to minimize spray deflection. But if this is a case of a new curtain rod only, take note of where droplets remain after you shower, and plan to place the curtain rod where it will deflect the spray. This is unfair on taller people, however, as standard shower curtains can only be raised so far before they let water out the bottom! Perhaps you'll need to buy or make an extra-long curtain; maybe add coordinating fabric to the top or bottom of a standard curtain. If height is not an issue, hang a curtain liner on the rod and hold it up over the tub; the bottom of the liner should fall securely into the tub, but not lie on the bottom. Mark the bracket position and be sure to hang the rod level. Remember to keep close watch on the painted surfaces inside the shower enclosure: if your tile stops short of the spray-line, you'll be repainting more often to keep moisture out of the drywall. It is always a good practice to wipe walls after showering, to keep nasty things like mold and mildew at bay. Even the best latex paint is no match for standing water, and you certainly don't want your drywall compromised. Good luck! Jill Murtagh, Murtagh Interiors

Can you install cedar tongue and groove directly to wall studs?

Of course! Horizontal or diagonal installations will work. Just be aware that depending on where the studs are on center, some warping may occur. Depends on environment, quality and thickness of the product, too. I lined the inside of my exterior laundry room with diagonal 1x6 cedar tongue and groove (after insulating w/fiberglass batts). After a couple of years, some small shrinkage and warping, but nothing significant.

Looks awesome!
