Does anyone have any experience with bathroom suits from salvage yards in the UK?

Im thinking it would be a more cost effective way of getting a really nice bathroom suit. Is it cheaper than buying new? Are there any potential problems to look out for? Any other advice on this appreciated. Thanks.

They are ruining my plants. Is it just murder or is there some other way without touching them.

We recently bought a house. The agent said it was built in 1982. I think they check from the date of the bathroom toilet. (a little trick they use)When the inspector came, he clearly said the house was built in 1975! The brady bunch wall panelling would have been a clue. haha. The hallway bathroom toilet said 1975 as well. Wouldnt a real estate agent know this? I think he was going by when the house was re-done i guess, not by the year it was actually built. Kind of makes me wonder....

I'm looking for something to spray on my cloth shower curtain that isn't going to pretty much poison me every time I shower. I don't need information about how Scotch guard is really ok for you or anything like that. I just want to know some organic things that will make water bead up or at least semi-ropel it. Thanks for your time and I hope you can help me and possibly others.

My built in dishwasher started to make a grinding noise, and at the same time started leaking from the bottom on the left side. Is it time to retire it or should I make an attempt to have it fixed?
Thanks, Marnie

My son is potty-trained, but had an accident today, right over the heater vent. We have an old, small house and the heating system consists of one massive (3 feet by 2 feet) heating vent in the hallway. Usually in the summer months we cover it with a carpet, but it wasn't down today so when my son peed, it went straight down the vent. There's a huge heating system down there that we can't pull out to clean under, and the space around it is so small we can't reach our arms through. But our house REEKS of urine right now...actually, kind of like burnt urine, which is really bad. The pilot light is still lit because it's been pretty cold here recently, so the heater is always a little warm, even when not in use.

How can I get rid of this smell? My husband sprayed febreeze down there, but it hasn't helped. Any ideas????

The room is almost a super pale yellow/linnen color with hard wood floors. The I have an iris and some bamboo, a Live Laugh Love chinese picture, some books, and a green and white leaf pattern chair. The vibe is natural/hippy. I want to do something cool on top of the hutch that would add to the room but I dont know how to decorate this. Any suggestions?
