Please only try to answer if you are trained in the construction of these. But what's the real difference between the two types of ceilings? Vaulted and Cathedral?

I have an aquarium stand which is particle board covered with some kind of adhesive "natural wood" looking finish which is chipping off because its gotten wet when I clean my aquarium. I also have an Ikea particle board tv stereo stand which has watermarks. Can anyone tell me of how I could make it look new again without paint? I have parrots and can't paint around them. I live in a one bedroom apt. and it's winter so can't open windows? Could something like walpaper be used? Any website which would show some ideas would be great
Thanks

My husband and I are planning to put in a privacy fence. I want to dig up my nikko blue hydrangeas and put them in front of the privacy fence. Bad thing is that we are doing the fence very soon, and the hydrangeas are already starting to bud out with new growth. Will being moved kill them?

Went on a business trip (that is my excuse and I am sticking with it), came back and found 2 inches of ice (not snow) in drive way. Temparatures are 15-20 F (-5 to -10 C). Tried to break it with shovel and scoop it from below but too hard, I even thought of using a chisel and work on it until the summer (that is how big is the glacier in the driveway). There is a mailbox just outside and a lot of people pass by it. I am affraid someone will fall.

Hi - We've never done any major works in our house and have never employed a builder.

We are having a new kitchen, understairs loo, knock thru, fireplace removal, electrics, new boiler, new french doors.

So its going to be a good 4-6 weeks.

We've been quoted 12k for the labour alone. is that a fair price?

Anything bigger than a twin... My boyfriend and I fight over space everynight!
We just moved in together about 2 months ago & we decided it's time to buy a bed.

Maybe even one of those pull out futons? That would save space.
