I live in a 100+ year old apartment building with 6 apartments, 2 per floor, everyone boxed in together. The whole building used to be one huge house but it was turned to 6 apartments many decades ago, before electrical heating existed. My downstairs neighbours are fierce noisy abominations who won't listen to diplomacy, and the landlord won't lift a single finger. Living in the apartment feel like an earthquake-ridden 24 hour construction site. When they "slam" their doors underneath us, the whole apartment shakes and rattles. In essence, when they talk, we can follow their converstations.

The soundproofing is total crap (if there at all) and the walls are plaster; the floors & ceilings are wood.

What's the cheapest, fastest, most economical way I can soundproof my apartment against the unbearable (and quite frankly unbelievable) amount of noise from downstairs & next door? No carpeting ideas please; my wife is totally alergic to all forms of carpeting.

I'm looking for a circular saw and a drill and I see that that reconditioned tools are quite a bit cheaper. are they worth it? and what exactly do they mean by reconditioned?does it mean that someone used it and took it back or what?

My garage door is painted, pressed wood with a wood grain surface. It actually feels like a raised grain. What product or color choice should I use to make this surface look like a varnished, real wood surface?

I have had these stupid jeans for over a year, and have washed them well over 100 times, yet they are still stiff, thick, dark, and uncomfortable. How can I get them "worn in" besides the obvious wearing them often (I've tried. Still stiff.) I've heard that washing new jeans in vinegar prevents them from fading. Anyone out there know how I can get them lighter and softer? I'm about ready to donate them.

Stain resistant, my left foot! I spilled some water on them, and when it dried, I had a little off-color region of stain where the water had spilled. Thanks in advance.

I'm wondering what colors were available in 1952 for the Crane Drexel toilet and the Crane Diane console bathroom sink. I've got them both in what appears to be halfway inbetween ice grey and sky blue...

I have just moved into a house built in 1927 which has a large poured concrete cistern. I've been down in the cistern and it is downright disgusting. I've just about finished pressure washing the concrete (which is very rough) and want to know what would be a good choice to seal the concrete to that is has a smooth finish and doesn't get quite so rude again.
