I have no clue about the laws on something like this. I was at home, in the shower and they just used their key to walk into my place. I had asked them to fix my yard light and that is what they were doing but shouldn't they have notified me first at least telling me they were going to be there working on it without just walking into my apartment without my permission? While I was home? It really wouldn't have bothered me so bad if I wasn't at home. I have the right to answer my door whenever and for whomever I want do I not? Usually if I don't answer it I have a good reason....like being in the shower.

I have a small bedroom with a black bedroom set-queen bed, nightstand, dresser, and armoire. The walls are white with tan carpet. I went out and purchased a sateen black down comfort with a set of soft pink sheets but Im not sure Im going to be able to use it because there is just way way to much black. Can anyone suggest any ideas. Im just wanting a room that is pretty soft and romantic. I love the new furniture but I dont have any idea on how to decorate with it. Im not a "red" person, its never been one of my favorite colors. Any ideas on whether i should return the comforter and sheets and start over? I have no accents pieces yet so Im starting fresh.

I usually use semi-gloss, but I'm not sure how to care for flat paint. Seems that most anything will rub the paint off. Any suggestions?

Removing paint from a nightstand, not many crooks and nannies. Don't want anything that produces harsh fumes.

I am in the middle of a home contruction. We are at the dry wall stage. Our contracters want us to use our newly installed furnace to dry the taping. However our subcontracter tells us that this may damage the furnace and we should use propane heaters.
Who is right

My silly boyfriend left old milk in the fridge. Over the weekend, the container disintegrated, leaving a horrible sour milk stench. We desperately need to get rid of the smell!

I'm about to order some replacement vinyl windows and am not sure where to measure to assure the most accurate measurements. I have a brick house and was told to measure from brick to brick around the window on the outside of the house. Is this the best way? I am also aware that many times, when an order is placed, the windows will come slightly smaller. Please respond only if you have successfully measured and replaced a window. Thanks.

The house we bought does not have a fireplace and I desperately want one. I've looked at Electric ones but want to consider putting in an actual woodburning fireplace. Is this difficult? Expensive?
