Home & Garden - 6 February 2007

I ahve just spent two days wallpapering a room but when it has dried in there are a number of bits that have air bubbles behind them. Alot have dried in fine but others have not. I made sure the paper was well pasted and rubbed down well when i hung it so i have no idea why this has happenned. Can anyone help and more importantly how can I fix it ?

i live in the attic (3rd) floor of a large 2 storey victorian house - which is also locally listed... living in the top gives me full and sole access to a further large attic above. my question is whether i will be allowed to build a roof terrace in my attic space - does it belong to me? am i likely to get planning permission? i own a share of the freehold so there are no complicated landlord discussions.. any advice gratefully received

I am doing a little pre-spring cleaning. I have several components (7) that are hooked into or around my HDTV. The problem is all the wires are going crazy back there. Does anyone know of a neat and tidy way to make them not so cluttered and have a more clean look. I've thought about twisty ties... But I'm looking for something different.

We are about to lay our laminate flooring and we are still undecided about what to use as our base - the roll out metallic foam or the fibre boards which you lay over a waterproof membrane? Any suggestions? For hall, living room and dining room. Thanks!

I think it might be sometime in the late 1930's or early 1940's. I beleive they were used in laundromats before they became available to the comsumers. There was a laundromat down the street that had a big sign outside that accually said The Westinghouse laundromat It had 10 slant front Westinghouse Laundromat washers and was expanded to fit 15 strate front Laundromats. The strait front machines were much newer than the slant front models and were out of order a bit more than the slant front models. So much for progress.

Maybe diamond isn't the best word...my mind is drawing a blank...basically a square rotated so the points are at the top and bottom. I'm NOT a sewer, and I have cut fabric and used my glue gun to make seams at the edges--now I'm not sure of how to hang it besides using penny nails to attach the fabric to each corner? I'd prefer a way to hang it so I can open it half way or partially to let sun in...

If so, what products do you use and why do you use them. What makes those products so great?

I have a small fluorescent shop light for over my Toucan's cage that is all metal, glossy white finish. I want to paint it--probably black, preferably matte, and was planning on using something like Rustoleum spray paint...

Is this a good idea? Will it hold over the glossy factory paint? Would it be better to forgo the matte and go glossy over glossy? It's important that it last and look good as it will be in my home...
