We have a average size room at our property in the country and have run out of money for the downstairs rec room and master bedroom. What can we do for a flooring treatment to make it look like a millon bucks.It's just a sub floor right now.We plan on surrounding our woodstove with ceramic tiles from the 'restore'(cheap!)and want to finish the rest of the room with a treatment that is easy on the budget and pleasing on the eyes. Can I paint the floor and if recommanded what kind of paint should I use. Thanks in advance for any help you may have.

Ok. I have done a little bit of research, but I wanted to see if anyone could help me further. I live in an apartment complex and the management there does a very poor job. It snowed a few weeks back and because they never cleared off the origional snow it has since melted and turned into ice on both the sidewalk and the parking lot. I have slipped on the ice as well as have gotten my vehichle stuck more than once there. I have gone to the management, but they have done nothing but ignore my complaint. Is there anything that I can do to Make them clear the situation? It has gotten way out of hand. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I heard micro Fiber is great with stains and we are completely sold that thats the best option kid durability wise, but how does it meausre up to cat hair, is it impossible to get it off like velvet, or easy to wipe off? What has worked for you, he has claws so i think leather is a no-no too.

I am in the process of fixing up a bathroom in a rental I have. The base boards and door are dark chocolate brown. I want them to stay that colour. What colours can I paint the walls and what colours should I look for in either a tile or laminate floor?? Also there's this big ugly post in there that I also need to paint, maybe do something neat/different with that?

I'm in the market for an air purifier and I'm not sure which kind I should get. I've taken a look at some, and I'm not sure which would fit my needs. I first took a look at some HEPA filters, since I know they filter 99.99% of air particulates. But I also knew that they're usually loud, you have to change the $100 filter every other month and they take up a lot of energy. I saw a Kenmore Envirosense filter and though it looked nice, but still; the hassle with expensive filters and energy. Before I go on, I should say the men in my family (My dad, brother and me) all have asthma, so we need something that would help with that. We also took a look at some models over at Brookstone. We found a Pure-Ion Advanced Air Purifier. The thing was ugly, but it worked, saying you would have 80% cleaner air in about 8 minutes. This isn't a HEPA filter, but it had a fan. They say this one helps with asthma, but I'm not sure. Another one from Brookstone was the Blueair HEPA filter, one that was more

I would like to tip a service man who installed our dishwasher (he is still here) but I don't know what the standard is?! He carried the new one by himself up two flights of stairs and took out our old one and carried it back down the two flights of stairs. Is $10 enough? Please reply ASAP! Thank you so much!

...sprouts, mesclun, and beautiful English cucumbers .. don't you think that would be nice? I could supply hotels, restaurants, and the supermarket....

Can you add to the dream, just for dreams' sake .... or: would anybody like this idea for his / her own?

I love gardens, don't you?

Maybe some snow peas in the Summer!



Peace & Love

I have a multi-leveled house that has NO heating on the top level (where all the bedrooms are). We have a swamp cooler for air conditioning that runs through vents into the rooms. We have central heat in the basement and main level of the house. We also have a wood burning stove in the main level and a fireplace in the living room (that is just up a few stairs from the main level). What would be the least expensive way to get some kind of heating upstairs? Should we put in a whole separate heating unit, or is there a cheaper way to some how make it so we can use what we already have but vent it into the rooms somehow?
Any advice would be really helpful!
Thanks!

I have a cashmere sweater that some douchebag poured wet flour all over. It dried up, and is now caked. How do I remove the flour so that the sweater will still retain its fluffiness?

Most of the big chunks of flour was removed by soaking, but it still has bits and pieces, which makes the sweater harsh.

I have asked around, but I don't know how effective dry cleaning would be for the sweater, nor do i know if it will damage the softness of the sweater.

The sweater is black, in case you're wondering.

If You're An Independent Representative - I'm interested in finding out more about the products they offer, what pricing is like, how sales are, etc., but am hesitant to contact them directly - I want to hear from actual sales reps.

If you've used- How are the Happy Naturals Organic products? Are they as good quality as advertised? Would you purchase again?

I know it's not laminate, but the wood floors I have are worn out and an ugly orangy-brown gloss.
I want to change the surface myself, and does it matter what type of surface it is before I change it, and how do I change to a different wood tone?
I also heard some people just scrape down the surface for the old worn look...
any suggestion and help please
