I have this huge laundry room and it has a small round window and an entry door. I really want to paint it a dark color because everyone comes in that door and it they are muddy or if the dog is muddy it gets all over the walls and floor boards. I am also afraid that if I paint it too dark then the room will look really small! What to do?

Lets try this again, with better details,
When handwashing do you only use as much as they say you need in the commercials? and do you get as many done as the sponsor says you can?

I just moved into a 2-story home that has the heater upstairs (for all to hear). Is this normal and maybe I never noticed because the other heaters were always in the garage? It really sounds like something is popping inside it, alot like popcorn. It only does this when we're running hot water, or shortly after.

Some of my "wall stains" include dirty fingerprints, spattered food emblems, courtesy of my toddler, hairspray, and others. I have tried Mr. Clean eraser, windex, and several general cleaners. All of these take the paint off!! Help, I have a new house!

We have nosy, annoying neighbors, and I'm sick of them staring at my children and my yard. They have gone as far as telling my kids not to pick flowers in our own yard. I don't want to go with standard wood fencing, and bamboo looks pretty neat.

I am planning on getting an extra electrical socket installed in my room, because there currently is only one. How much would this usually cost for an electrician to install it? What is the process of doing so? Thanks!

I want to build my own bench for bench-pressing weights, on a seriously tight budget, but without sacrificing personal safety.

What is the best method for someone who cannot weld? Would a metal frame be able to bear the weight if it was screwed/ bolted together in my back garden out of old scrap?

It would have to be able to hold my weight plus the barbell so about 300lbs max.

Would wood be a cheaper alternative to scrap metal- if so which wood in particular and how would I join it?

In the interests of safety I have a friend in the construction industry who'll do any work that might affect structural rigidity/ safety so no worries there. I am not concerned about how the bench looks in the slightest as long as it does the job.

All I am worried about is that the two uprights won't buckle under the weight of the barbell from 80lbs-150lbs), and the bench won't snap under my weight (165lbs).

Thanks!

Ice storm filled gutters with ice. It's not melting cause the sun only hits the back of the house. If it gets above freezing during the day should i go ahead and spray it down so the ice will melt and hope it dries before nightfall or is this a bad idea?

I have to replace a ceiling fixture. There is a stud in the middle for mounting. The new fixture isn't made for that type of setup. Can I buy something to screw onto the stud so I can screw in the new fixture?

I'm using hot water in a pump sprayer but it's taking off little hunks at a time. I have a remover roller but that isn't helping either. I need to get this off in the next few hours or my carpenter will go to another job!!!!! What can I add to the water or another technique??
