Home & Garden - 26 November 2006

I am not sure how to position ornaments on a garland, likke should I do it precisely based on size, or just randomly. I am doing a red theme that includes red beds, red ornaments, a little white and black as well as some individual sprays that are green plants with red ornaments and silver stuff attached. I want to do the a sort of traditional wreath and garland with a modern twist, young, yet elegant, Please send me your pics or ideas!!!!!!!!!!

I need drywall hung and taped for my room addition. I know there will be a lot of variables that go into the price but i was wondering if there was something of a standard price. I had a painter tell me that painting is about 2 a square foot plus or minus. Is there a set price for drywall fer square foot or sheet? thanks!!!

My apartment window faces another apt window adjacent to mine, so if I open my window/curtain the other apt can see into my room, and I don't like that. However, I want to be able to get a breeze and air (particularly in summer) and also be able to get natural sunlight. Any ideas without having to compromise privacy?

I have an early 1960's shower knobs and faucets. The knob for hot water is very loose, making it difficult to turn the hot water on and off. Usually I can fix this sort of problem by taking off a plastic cap on the knob and tightening the screw, but this piece is all in one and I have no idea how to fix it. Do I need new fixtures?

Thanks in advance

My generator has needed to be "demagnatized" twice in the last several years. While inexpensive, it is inconvenient to take to the repair place. Is this a service I can perform, and how would I go about learning how to do that?

I was given an expensive foreign poster and I placed it on my wall by putting those blue sticky tacks on the back of it. One day as I was lifting my pillow, it tore through the poster. Now there is about an 8 inch rip through the bottom of the poster. I can't really find any shops to fix the poster (I may not be searching for the right search term to find the store [I was looking for a "xerox store"]), but the one place I did find, wanted a fortune for it! After I do fix the poster, I want to laminate it. So how do I fix this tear where it's in a good condition to laminate it?

The 2 sided tape it came with is very hard to remove and now it has turned yellow on my window frames. Our house is about 10 years old and we have the plastic window casings. I have used rubbing alcohol to remove some of it, but very time consuming and had to rub really hard. Any other suggestions to clean it up?

Hello, we live in a flat that has no sound proofing whatsover. The neighbour above us has a child that constantly runs around, jumping, banging etc, the noise is horrendous at times, especially in the evening. We are only separated by floorboards. We have contacted the local authorities as they are council tenants, but they say there is nothing they can do because it isn't going on at unreasonable hours, although, they admit it is very noisy. We have spoken to the neighbour and she is aware of the problem since she has sat in our flat while her child ran around upstairs!
We have offered to get her room soundproofed, but she won't agree, we can't force her.
My question is this. Has anyone ever soundproofed their home (simular situation) and did it really help?
Thank you, any advise is most appreciated, Sharon

I need help! I purchased this brand new table from Ashley's couple of months ago. At someone's suggestion, I sprayed polyurethane on it and instead of a clear coating, it has that hazy white look all over. What should I do?

I'm attaching a new plug to a vacuum cleaner power cord. The plug is polarized (one wide prong, one thin prong). The instructions say wire the ribbed part of the wire to the wide prong but the wire from the vacuum cleaner isn't ribbed. It's just a black insulated cord with two insulated cords inside, one black and one white.

Is it correct to assume the wire in the black insulation is the wire that gets connected to the wide (polarized) prong?

I really don't like bugs, but I can't stand hurting them either. We keep the doors closed, but they still find their way in! Any helpful hints?
