Home & Garden - 30 January 2007

I'm looking for responses from actual owners only.
I want to know in comparison to conventional space heaters, do the edenpure heaters create a better, more comfortable heat? Are they worth the money?
I am not concerned with the energy savings issue, i don't care. I am concerned with 100% comfort. I will continue to use space heaters, but I want to know if this one is better, as it is different.
Thanks for your feedback.

I don't want to use a transition piece. I would like for the transition to be straight from tile to carpet. Know of any techniques for this? I've seen in people's houses that it looks like the carpet is actually tucked underneath the tile. How is this done? especially underneath the grout? I just don't understand I guess.
Also, I am using a 1/4" cement backerboard for the floor tile.

I wish I would have thought of this before installing the tub so I could just lay the tile under the tub. But it's too late. So what do I do? How can I cover the seam between tub and tile so that water doesn't get to the subfloor? I would just use caulk as with an iron tub but this plastic tub gives with enough pressure and the caulk would just eventually crack. Any suggestions? I've never layed tile before so please speak in layman's terms. Thanks.

There was actually only a tub there and no shower, so the walls are all plaster. I know that before I tile I need a different backerboard, meaning the plaster goes at least to a point. Any hints, tips, directions, and suggestions on how to do the job?

Hi there,
We have four young kiddos and we are mostly packed and ready to go, but I am very overwhelmed by the details (no surprise there). The move is local; we are staying in the same town. However hubby and I have ONE day, kid-and-work-free on which to get the bulk of it done. What first? The big furniture then the boxes? All at once? I have to be at work the next day...argh!

Any tips are greatly appreciated!

Not temporarily, as in a trailer house, dorm, crisis shelter or FEMA trailer, I mean as a lifestyle choice. Like an eco home, a micro home, a cabin, a yurt, a planned community, a co-house, etc.

While a lot of the world is getting more complicated, there seems to be a wave of simplicity among some folks who are abandoning their ideals of a dream house, and finding smaller, or low-tech living arrangements that are working quite well for them. I would love to know more about it, just curious at this point but I am far from claustophobic, in fact, I consider myself very hobbity, and can easily see myself doing something like this someday.

What's your story? Why did you do it? How is it working for you? Would you do it again? Are you on the grid or off? How do you live this way in a modern world?

It will be hard to choose a best answer from different genuine responses.

I can't even make my bed without getting shocked. It's a box spring, but I like it and it's practically brand new. I am looking for a way to discharge the static and keep this from happening in the future.

A plumber, a builder??? I have no clue. The gas fitter who installed the stove and cooktop said an electrician but the electrician said he couldn't do the ducted ones. Who the heck should I ring?

Some axle grease rags were accidently washed with normal laundry, causing all the cloths to smell like axle grease. I've tried re-washing, but the smell in the laundry and washer remains.

How much does it cost to run a normal 100W light bulb? Per hour and the whole life of the bulb (please specify the life span you are using).

How much does it cost to run a 25W (equivalent to 100W of a normal bulb) energy saving light bulb? Per hour and the whole life of the bulb (please specify the life span you are using).

Please use the rate of 9.8 cents/Kw-hour.

If you have any other ways to compare these two bulbs in terms of money, please do share.

Cabinets have just been enameled vanilla white, appliances are white, sink is white, floor is cork. (Kind of a reddish oak color.) What color should my countertops be? Vanilla white to match the cabinets? Or should they be darker to match the floors??
