The apartment i moved into is a great location. I live right on the beach so im not willing to move. However, when i moved in it was a dump. I am subleasing from my brother who had lived there 4 years before me. He never had cleaned or vacumed ONCE. Anyways i have spent alot of time cleaning..but the carpets are damaged and stained. The walls are chipped. Appliances are rusted. I want my house to look homey and fresh. I need ideas. I dont want to sink alot of $$$ cause i rent not own. The worst is the carpets and landlords WILL NOT replace or clean carpeting. Please help me...my home is so depressing...Thank You!!!

Our small back porch is in bad shape. It doesn't appear to be connected to the house anymore, if it ever was, and chuncks are missing. It is leaning away from the house.

What should I do with it?

I'm thinking of using a large propane heater, like the kind you may be familiar with at outdoor restaurants and bars, inside a (mostly) enclosed tent, and my gut tells me this will be a good way to create carbon monoxide. Is there a way to have a portable heating device inside a 20'x20' tent without causing such problems?

Often businesses have a busy season and a slow season, is this true of roofers? I was just wondering if there is a time of year when roofers might give someone a better deal than others.

Our small backyard is cut in half by a large shed. Basically, we have two yards, one that has immediate access to the house and one that you have to take a walkway between the shed and garage to get to. You can't see one yard from the other. The "extra" backyard behind the shed is 14 x 16, and is covered in gravel right now.

I hate that ugly gravel mess, but I don't know what to do with it. Any ideas?
