    Check the pairing of {}s. Each { needs to have a pairing }.

    The statements in the last half of the code need to be properly indented to show the nesting level.
    Proper formatting will make finding mis-matched {}s much easier.

    Hi, I've changed the code a little bit, could you compile it and tell me what you think? I'm not too sure what i'm doing if I'm honest..
    I understand if it's too much but thanks for the help. I've paired the {} together, well i think i did anyway. thanks again.

    The code still needs formatting. The }s should NOT be in the same column one below the other. Each should be indented and be in alignment beneath the start of the statement with the pairing {. That makes it easy to see matching pairs of {}s

    There still are too many statements that start in the first column. They need to be indented to show their nesting level.

    What errors are you getting now? Please copy the full text and paste it here.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    public static voind main
    I'm finding a lot of syntax errors. Surely this is not your actual code?

    Wow this code has so many errors in it. Nearly 2/3 of the code has errors.
    I am just advising you to look at your code and take out any syntax errors like Strarstreak pointed out, also these keywords shouldnt have capitals. I advise you to get a IDE like Eclipse or netbeans.
    Also i have seen in your code that you are setting ALOT of viarables to the wrong type.
    Example : house = new JRadioButton("House"); but house isnt defined as a radioButton but as a checkbox.

    There are alot of these errors all over this code.

    Using an IDE like Eclipse will highlight errors so you can correct them as you type.

    Perhaps start with a simpler GUI in order to get used to the various components. Once that's running, expand it.
