I bought a new home 3 years ago and made the mistake of choosing white carpet throughout the house. 3 years later after raising a rottweiler and mastiff inside, my carpet is trashed!! I can't afford to put down tile or laminate for a little while and I can't do linoleum with the dogs. My question to you....can I pull up the carpet and pad and paint the concrete floor like they do on television? Has anyone done this "successfully" and if so can you offer helpful suggestions as to how to go about it. I plan on putting down area rugs afterwards. HELP!!

The sales guy asked if I pulled my permit. I said not yet. I didn't plan to pull a permit. Why do you need a permit for a water heater? It has been running fine for over a year now. I installed it myself.

In the book it describes different ways you can use stuff that you would throw away, ex. such as lint from a dryer, you would save it and put it in a orange bag so the birds can go to it and make their nests. Another example from the book, it tells you that you can take a kiddie pool and make your own little pond by digging a hole and placing the pool in the hole, then you simply get water plantlife and create an exotic mini-pond. Another tip it gives is by planting tomatoes in 5-gallon buckets and hanging them upside down for clean big and red tomatoes. Also there is one where it says you can plant potatoes in a 5-gallon bucket and when they are ready for picking you can just dump out the bucket for easier harvesting. If anyone has any idea of the name of the book please respond. The title has something to do with saving you loads of money throughout the year.

I plumbed conduit on my patio for three boxes. 2 of the boxes on the ends I hung ceiling fans on. The box in the middle I want to put a light. But, I want to match the ceiling fan lights. I thought I would buy the matching light kit and hang it in the middle of my patio.

I know it is an age old question and one that many have pondered on but... I have just taken my washing out. I know what socks went in and how many and they were all in pairs. I am now missing three socks! All from different pairs! I have checked the inside of the door cos can usually find all sorts in the rubber seal and have made sure they are not caught up in other clothes, but no they are gone, vanished, disappeared of the face of the planet. Where are they?

I've got a plumber here who is telling me some black iron piping was used in my water line and it is toxic and needs to be replaced.

Is that true? Or is he just trying to find other ways to soak me?

What would cause damp/wetness around air conditioner vents?
This is an outside central unit and I've noticed damp/wet areas around the vents (vents are located in the floor) in the house. The central unit is only a couple of months old, though the vents and duct work are original to the home. I never noticed this with my old central unit.
