The "contractor" who remodeled my bathroom did a horrible job! The tile floor was redone 5 times before it was right. Each time he returned he scuffed up the molding, walls, etc...I just wanted him out of my house for good. As the weather got cold, the bead board began to buckle and then the buckle went away. However it left behind gaps between the panels. When the weather warmed and therefore the walls warmed up, the gaps closed up. Is there anything I can do so I don't have to look at this during the cold months? Is there a way to fix the gaps? I won't call him back to fix it because he'll screw something else up, so don't bother suggesting that. Thanks for your help!

my faulty floor furnace was burning very dirty and omitting 6 times the legally safe level in California. During this time, it turnad all walls and ceilings black with soot. Furnace has been disconected, so no longer causing the carbon monoxide. However ,other than the visual discomfort, is the hazrd still present and should i continue to reside in until landlord cleans/removes it?

If so, did you purchase it or built it? Are you happy with it? Which company did you contract with? I am looking to build my own house, and I dont know if I should start with a panelized home, modular home, or kit home. Companies that I am looking at are Landmark and American Home, if you any of you has had any experience I would really appreciate it!

I am a kid and I really hate cleaning my room. I allways do the, put two clothes in a pile (dirty and clean) then fold the clean ones and put them in the droy or hang them up and put the clean ones in the wash. But really I am sick of doing that because I am kind of lazy today becuase I have a cold. So does any one know a good way of cleaning up a room faster and easier?

The minimum that my floor lamp takes is 50 watts. It can also take 100/150 watts. Would this affect the lifetime of my new 42 watt CFL?

If I was having a 30 min. shower, will it be more water usage then having a 3/4 of the water filled in the bathtub?

I think I might've tested it before but I forgot. How did I test it? I clogged the tub while taking a shower for 30 min. to see if it filled 3/4 of the bathtub. Take a shower and test it for me =p Thanks! ^_^

Any hint appreciated. Nano-fibers will do if there is such a thing.

I have run a 25ft, auger through it, and put three bottles of "Cobra" sulfuric acid in it. Still nothing, The pipe is around 60 ft long, it has been three days. The vent appears to be ok, (I tried to flush the pipe with a water hose and it came flowing off the roof!) Any ideas? Anyone? Please?

If you were having your carpets cleaned what would influence what company you chose to perform the service the most...... the lowest price, a money- back guarantee, fast drying times, or something else.......?
