I really need a pull-out couch for my ultra tiny studio apartment. I need it so that my guests have some place to sit other than my bed when they come over and I and my boyfriend have a place to sleep, too. Thing is I am a broke college student who is supporting herself on a janitor's salary. I really can't afford to spend any more than $500.

I live in TX and I can't go by what the plant tag says for whether they will survive or not. If I buy them that say "full sun" they die in full sun because it's too hot. They actually do really well in the shade. My entire front yard is pretty much full sun. I'm not a fan of cactus or anything ugly. Any suggestions on something I can plant that I will not have to replant every year?

For my wedding a couple years ago I received service for 12 in an earthenware pattern that I'm already sick of! They're from my mother-in-law so I can't really get rid of them all of a sudden. They're cream with rings of cobalt blue and dark green around the edges (they're Ocean Breeze by Pflatzgraff in case you want to look them up). Does anyone have ideas about how to bring in a theme to make these boring dishes more exciting? Thanks!!

I have wood flooring in my dining/living room ( they flow toegther) hall and three bedrooms. I would like to refinish the floors. I know I will need to putty the holes from cable installs, sand, stain and poly them. The probelm I have is that the only bathroom in the house is only accessable from the hall floor. I hear that I cannot do the floor in sections because it will discolor. I also hear that I have to let each coat of poly dry for 8 hours between coats. So, how can I refinish the floors? Is there something I can use to seal the floor after I sand and stain that doesn't need so much dry time and is still durable? Could I just do sections of the floor without noticible differences in the color/finish? Any help at all, links too, is greatly appreciated.

I am also not a think in the box type....if there is some off the wall product that is safe and will get the job done, thats fine with me:) Like the stuff used to seal outdoor decks??

British houses of the past were built very well and looked nice to the eye, timber-framed cottages, gracious georgian town houses, stout victorian terraces, spacious 1930's semis.
Why in the modern age do new houses resemble lego buildings. It seems as if they are built to a uniform patten and offer no scope for the imagination

I have hung a new door on an old door frame. the hinge side is plumb, but the latch side tapers in by about 2cm toward the bottom, so their is a considerable gap toward the top of the door when it is closed.

I have yet to fit the architrave. Can I use this to create some kind of optical illusion perhaps?
