We have a bed which has amazing storage inside, much much more than your standard divan with 4 drawers but you have to lift the mattress to access it, it was specially made for us and sent from India.
Only thing is, it didnt travel well and the condition of the bed is not so good. I havent seen anything remotely like it here in the UK and we really do need something with similar storage as our house has absolutely no storage space.

Anyone got any suggestions?

We are thinking of getting new deck furniture, and I love the comfort of the ones where the chairs have thick padded pillows for the seats and the back. Do the pillows have to be brought inside when it rains? I am concerned about mold developing in them if I leave them outside. What's your experience with them?

We want to do a very inexpensive counter top for a 23 year old trailer...Would it be ok to use linoleum, as long as you don't cut on it? We were thinking about the 12" squares?

Do normally go to paint specialty stores such as Sherwin Williams? Or do you normally buy it at home improvement stores like Lowes and Home Depot? Or do you buy it at department stores like Kmart or Walmart?

Since the wintery weather has set in, I figured there wasn't a hose pipe ban any more and so celebrated by leaving mine on all night, pouring water down the hill I live at the top of, overnight.

When I got up this morning I had a fantastic ice slide from one end of the road to the other.

However, there were some angry looking people banging on my front door.

Have I got myself into trouble again?

My neighbor says she wants to discontinue her internet access and might sell the computer. They are a family of four and the kids are 15 and 11. Her main justification is that she doesnt want the children exposed to inappropriate/obscene information.

I don't want to address her fear here. I'd like to compile a list of the top practical uses for the computer w internet access for a family and home owner, so that she can realize how necessary and useful it is! For example, how she can maybe ...save money indirectly, must-have website info,...
(anything you think would make her reconsider. she describes herself as practical, no frills, economical, conservative)

Thanks!

I have seen several answers here on how to repair a burnt laminate countertop, but they havent quite fit my problem. 1st major problem is i live in an apartment so cutting out isnt an option. Long story short i set a very hot metal pot on the counter and now have several bubbles and brown burns. Is there anything I can do to repair it (money is a big consideration). Im not looking for perfection, just a decent patch/repair job so I dont get hit too hard when i move out. Im kicking myself pretty hard for being careless so plz plz plz no nasty comments I already know im an idiot. Thanks everyone

These bugs are alike those you can found on old yellowed books.

Some time ago I saw on the Channal 8, 10pm news that someone has bought a new set of Sofa and there are tiny little bug crawling out from it. I feel they could be the same types of bugs.

Could someone tell me, if they have encountered similar scenarios... any solutions to get ride of these creatures? becos this bugs problem has been bugging me for too long now. I am going to shift house soon, I want to make sure they do not follow me. Help! Help!

I installed a self cleaning, hotwater tank about 4 months ago and now the water that is coming out has a yellow-green, (almost as if the water had been pee'd in) tint to it. Any suggestions on how I can fix this problem would be appreciated.
