I am having a new bathroom installed. Should I get the tiling done before or after the suite is fitted?

I live in a fifth wheel RV in a permanent spot and would like to replace the existing toilet with a regular house type toilet. I have a septic and a pipe open for it, but have no idea how to even start the plumbing from the rv to the septic pipe. Or what I need to change on the RV itself to make room for the new toilet. Someone said I have to take out the holding tank first, is this correct? I know somewhat how to plumb the water to the toilet, it's the pipe going out I am not sure of. Or what materials I need to get it started with. Any ideas or help would be great as I am a silly lady determined to do this myself. Thanks

I have tried ironing it over a paper bag and also a kitchen towel, some came out but not all, now there is a kind of shiney circle there. I also tried freezing it, then scraping off with little success. Any ideas?

We've tried various detergents, one of which seems to have spread the stain out a bit. But nothing has shifted it. By the way it's red and the shirt id pale blue.

We also have a septic tank, which was emptied. We had the septic tank company, 3 plumbers, the gas company and the air vent cleaning people come over but NO ONE can find the issue.

I can't have people over on cold and hot days!! Someone help!

Hi there

The cavity for the washing machine at the place I have just started renting is unusually small, being pretty much exactly the width of a washing machine (59.5-60cm) I could wedge one in there but it wont have clearance or be very easy to get out.

Can anyone recommend one which is a fraction smaller? I can't find one at all.

I am looking to build a shelf that will wrap around 3/4 of a room. I would like it along the top. I want to be able to put fake greenery and decorations on it. I would like it almost up to the top of the wall. Any easy ways to do it and make it sturdy? Please remember when replying, i am not very handy. Thank You!

I have a red/fuschia colored sofa, with navy blue and chocolate brown accent pillows. My boyfriend wants to paint the walls a blue color. It's a fairly large room, with a good amount of sunlight, but a dark color would really close in the area.... I would like to stick with blue as well, but I have no idea of the shade. Help?

Right now, the only information that I have is that the company was based out of Pennsylvania and made wardrobe trunks (among other things). I was wondering if anyone could tell me when the company was established, when it closed, and maybe some history behind the company. Best answer gets 10 points!!!!

I bought a 6 ft. ficus plant (plastic) for my living room .. but it only came in a tiny planter pot .. how do I get it to stand in a regular pot?
what am I supposed to put in there to take up the excess room so it doesn't fall over?
do I fill it with dirt??
It says to purchase a "decorative pot" .. but where? and what do I put in the "decorative pot" to make my ficus stand up tight so it doesn't lean??
thanks!

I can't put the quilt in the wash, it's precious to me, but need to treat my cats for fleas (now that I'm covered in bleepin' bites and get bit every night) and clean and vacuum for a few weeks, etc. What should I do with the quilt? I've read that isolating a space or objects is a bad idea because the pupae stay dormant, so putting it away seems a no-go. Should I keep vacuuming it along with the carpet and mattress every day? Help!

Ok people, challenge for you. It's closing in on mid-June and that means in MI the grape vine leaves will start having something either happen to them or get to them. I've searched the web, taken samples to nurseries, and no one can tell me what the thing is or how to stop it. On the top of the leaf it looks like a pucker and on the underside of the leaf a pimple.

This has been going on for over 40 years and being married Arabic grape leaves are important to us. Please help us.
