I'm really into pirate stuff, and I thought it would be really cool to have a room that showed it. The problem is, I'm on a very small budget (basically I have to pay for it with my own money) so I can't get one of those custom pirate ship beds or anything like that. What are some low-cost things to do to my room to give it a pirate theme? What kind of bed should I get, since I can't afford a fancy one? And what kind of dresser or other clothes storage? Or, any suggestions on how to paint wooden furniture to make it look pirate-themed? Thanks :)

We had a leaky faucet that caused water damage to the sheetrock behind the kitchen sink. We put in a new faucet and are now planning to tile over the soft sheetrock. Is this o.k.?

I just moved into this house and although there are no bees now come winter I'm worried I will have bees all around the place and I am really alergic to them so is there anything that I can do like a spray or something that keeps them away?

I have tried a plunger and a snake and a hanger but nothing seems to be helping. I don't know what to do and my toilet is about to overflow so someone please help. And I can't afford a plumber (college student). Thanks for your help

My place is not as bad as some people's on those TV shows. But I want to be really organized. I want everything to shine and be beautiful like in magazines. But its not happening. I have no motivation. It makes me feel bad, particularly since this wasn't how I was raised. In the family I was raised in, everything was spotless. I sometimes get depressed by the fact I can't keep my place as beautiful as the people in my family. I just hate scrubbing and cleaning so much. I get so tired. I wanted to get a cleaning lady, but they are very expensive. And I hear they use the bathroom rags in the kitchen, which is gross. What should I do to be motivated?

We have a ton of birds in my area and I want to attract all of them. The blackbirds and other "bullies" always run off the more attractive songbirds. Is there a bird food that will attract the songbirds and be less tasty to the bully birds. Thanks for you helop!!!

the bath tub is a plastic moulded unit. and the circular scratch, 1cm in diameter, is not yet a gaping hole but has begun to ooze thin layer of rust. i don't wish to replace the tub as it is not more than six years old. can i repair the damage and hide the ugly dot with VEZEL-PLAMUUR sealant, which is a fibre putty?
