Home & Garden - 20 February 2007

I really want to re-do my room. I'm going into high school and it looks like a room for an eight year old. I have a design, and know what furniture I want, but I don't have enough money. Any tips on how to raise some?

A week ago my boyfriend spilt red wine on my feature wall. It is a gold wall. And he got alot of area. Up, down, and on the mouldings.His opinion is," a little daub will do it". He thinks he can just paint everywhere the wine went,with the same color and I tried this theory of his. It didn't cover it up and even though I used the same color it looked darker and muddy. And what do I do about the shiny cream mouldings...stained in red wine? I feel the whole wall needs to be primed and repainted. He got alot of area with the wine and it looks terrible. Unfortunately, it is a very long wall and covers down the staircase. There's no way to stop in the middle. It might be costly(well actually was when painted a year ago) and I am ready to get estimates. What would you do? Also, this it not his first or second time spilling red wine and he hates white wine and he does not want to use a sippy cup/dripless. So, no wine in my home unless you do use a sippy cup and pay for the damage

Ok.. We are changing out out gas hot water heater to an electric one. What size wire would be better to run from the braker box to the hot water heater. (it is an outside braker box). water heater requires a 220 volt. And what size circuit braker would be better to use.

Ok here's the thing. We we are getting power to and outlet, But it is not enough power to actually run even a drill. What could be the cause of this. We even put a new outlet to see if something might have been wrong with the old one. Still doing the same thing.

I do not know where to start.

The room has hardwood floors, and I am not sure what color I should paint the other three walls, I was thinking tan.

I just moved into a new apartment and the walls are bare and boring. I'm REALLY tight w/ cash right now so I cant go out and buy a whole bunch of paintings/ frames/wall decor, etc. I also don't own the apartment so I cant paint the walls any other color.
What are some cheap ways I could make the walls look interesting and original?

I want to run a ground wire to my tv antenna on the roof. I have plenty of copper wire that is coated. Can I use this coated wire or does ground wire have to be bare.

why or why not?

I was told in my last question that if I trimmed now that I would cut off this springs blooms, but if I am only trimming down 2-3 feet, would i not still have the blooms come out on the rest of the branches?

I recently noticed that my silver ring has become very tarnished from the bleach i use in my dishwater (the ring doesn't come off because of swollen fingers) and i was wondering if anyone has any "home remedies" for getting it clean? Thanks!

My neighbor got into a shouting match with my lawn service provider. She didn't like the way he was mowing my lawn so she told him off, got her husband involved and apparently to avoid any future problems the lawn service people decided to stop. Now I have to get another person or company. She happens to be president of the HOA. Is there anything I can do or file a complaint?

this set is in very good condition. I've been everywhere online and cannot find anything like it. It's black and white, the pitcher has aunt jamima on it, it's a very nice set. I don't want to sell it, just interested in what it's worth.

No smart alic comments, only answers. Thanx.

I live alone and have made the transition from college to adult life. The old wall posters don't cut it any more...but most of the wall art out there is very feminine. Flowers, flowers and more flowers. Cutesy cottages by a pond. Butterflies and dragonflies. Any suggestions on wall art or other wall decor for a guy's house?

Ok my dang dog knocked a gallon of milk over in my car last week. 3/4 of the gallon went on my floor b4 the sound of my dog laping up the mess caught my attention. I soaked as much up as possible with a towel right away but wasnt able to shampoo it for about 2 hrs. For the next 3 days my car smelled fine. It was pretty cold outside those days. Now it is back up into the 50's and my van wreaks. I shampood it a second time sunday night and Monday it still wreaked. Today is Tues. and I sprayed Resolve carpet cleaner every where. srubed it and vaccumed it as much as possible. I even sprayed some new car scent through out my car. Now it smells like a combination of sour milk and new car scent. I cant afford to have my carpets replaced and I am tired of gagging everry time I open my door any suggestions?
