i have had flooring down about 2 months now and regularly sweep at and clean with those floor cleaning wipes that you put on a flat mop thing. Thats all very well but judging by the colour of my white socks if i walk around it aint as effective as i'd like. its as if its crying out for a good mopping but heard you shouldn't get them too wet? worrying about the boards warping if water gets down between sheets. any ideas plaes? thanks

I inherited my parents' home, a lakefront cottage whose foundation is covered in external insulation...sheets of styrofoam-like stuff. In places this is exposed maybe two feet above the ground line. It is extremely ugly, and over the years it's begun to crumble in places. My idea is to mound up landscaping stone -- septic stone -- and hide the exposed insulation. Has anyone else had to deal with this? I don't have a lot of money for home repairs, and I suspect that this is one of the less expensive ways of hiding the foundation. Help me, home gurus!

I've just got hold of a sheet of plywood I need for a project. It's been outdoors for a few days and is a bit damp. If I dry it off would it be ok to use? Will it be just as strong?

House is a bi-level. Recently added storm windows to deck off dining room. Having a new rubber roof installed would like to know if we can insulate ceiling to make the room warmer. What product do you suggest we use. we are getting conflicting answers, some say you can insulate others say the ceiling needs to breath having a rubber roof install. Please advise.

I have a source for an overhead light with a Pos. and Neg. lead, but I don't see a ground - just a 1/4" adjustable metal finger for canopy. I would have to tear out the ceiling to see any further into the wiring arrangement.

I hear they are hard to fixed and just too expensive for parts.
