I fitted my bathroom suit last year, about 7 months ago. I have gone through to self sealing strips that were more than useless, i have used kitchen and bathroom sealant suitable for wet areas obviously. This will be the third time i will have to re- silicone around the edge of the bath as it keeps coming away, the bath is always bone dry, i leave it the suggested length of time to cure but it starts to curl at the edges after a couple of months. Water does sit on the bath edge when we use the shower but surely there is something wrong when you have to re- do it this many times. Do i need to key the bath(sand it)? or is there a high strength silicone on the market? Someone please help before my wife divorces me and the sledge hammer gets dusted off.
Thanks
Tony.

I really hate to kill any life, but I also hate ants trying to eat my food. So how can I ant proof my apartment, or otherwise get these colonial creatures to leave me alone?

My house is on a hillside lot and there is a steep slope in our yard, with a flat area at the top where we would like to plant a vegetable garden. The soil is clay and rock and seems pretty stable--the house has been there 80 years with apparently no slides. Any ideas where we can find DIY plans for constructing some type of stairway up the hill using rocks, railroad ties or other materials? Thanks.

I have old hardwood floor. Can I paint it without sanding? Since sanding will cause a lot of dusts. What kind paint or brand you recommend. Appreciated.

I went to the local lumberyard today to ask them if they would make me some clothes line posts. The guy said sure and then said I probably should get 4 inch 8 feet long black metal pipe and two 4 ft long 4 inch metal pipes. I about passed out when I called the steel company and they quoted me $107 bucks a piece for the 8 ft long pipes and almost $50 for each of the 4 ft pipes. This sounds a extravagant. Isnt this expensive, or am I just behind the times?
The guy at the lumber yard told me not to use wood because it would decay and warp.
So....what do I do here, Is there a cheaper way to do this?

I'm going to be re-painting an old book cart for a library and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good high quality spray paint.

I already have a good idea on what I'm going to use, but I'm basically looking for a second opinion.

I'm thinking Krylon or Rustoleum.

Lately there has been a lot of little flying bugs in my home, they look a lot like super tiny mosquitoes, they are dark and really tiny, I'd like to know what's their name and why they're reproducing in my house and what kind of insecticide I can use. Thanks

My sister's landlord will not fix any of the problems she has. For instance, her stove catches on fire, water heater is too hot, there's a hole in the wall, bathroom tile is falling apart,...what can she do? She has 2 young children. She has been asking and asking the landlord to fix these problems but he just gives her the run around.
