Our apartment doesn't have AC and gets very hot in the spring/summer. What kinds of curtains or panels keep out the light and heat best? Something inexpensive, since we'll need to buy 6 of them.

My heat pump works well when it is running. Sometimes I feel cold and while I hear the unit in the basement running, the exterior unit is not running. I then have to push in a reset button (on the exterior unit) to restart it. This works for maybe 1/2 a day up to a week or so (no pattern) then I have to do this all over again. In the summer it did well. I did not have to touch the reset button, but this winter and last winter it was an ongoing thing (off and on) and of course it doesnt do it when someone is here to check the unit out. But when it does this the unit in the basement runs continously and it blows cold air. When I push the reset button on the exterior unit, it blows warm air. What is the deal? Any help?

i have decent hardwood throughout my old home, and just pried up the kitchen floor...two subfloors and two layers of tile...just got through scraping up the tar looking adhesive off that wood...the wood in the kitchen is different than the rest of the house..it is light blond color, no knots and is about 3 1/4 inches wide...i'm not sure what it is....we do not want to finish it professionally, but we want to maybe sand it a bit and add some protectant..don't know what to use...any ideas?

Is it really necessary? Anyone vacuum in the dark? Does it work better on dark carpet? I have beige so I really can't tell a difference. Should the light be brighter?

Okay. My room is kinda small, and it has a black wall with purple stripes and all the other walls are purple. It is rock and roll/punk themed kinda. I also cut out a piece of wood in the shape of a guitar and I put different pictures on it of my favorite bands and stuff. The wood was from a table before, but since my room is small I though I would just hang the guitar part on my wall. But the trouble I am having is finding a bedspread/comforter to use. I thought it would be easy to find a rock and roll one but it was hard to. So if any one can find one or has any ideas of another one it would really help. I need answers to this really badly! Also, if you have any more ideas that would help too. Thanks everyone I really appreciate it!

I'll like to redecorate the room of my 6 years old girl, but I want something durable at last until she's 12 years old.
Any great ideas?

Besides getting a hunky muscle guy to open it for you? It's not always easy to find one when you need one.

I'm renting a house and the wood floors look really bad and in my bedroom I want something to distract from the defaced wood floor. Not the entire room, just in the largest empty space that would draw a lot of attention. I'm not going to install carpet and they don't make area rugs in the right size so what should I do to make my space look better...I can't put up with this.
