My boyfriend thinks that it is insane that I want a curtain up on the shower stall since it already has a door. I say it is nice to have some privacy in the shower once in a while. Am I weird or is he just difficult? If anyone can provide a site with a pic of a stall w/door that also has a curtain that would be AWESOME!!!

I need to remove one coat of Kilz 2 latex primer so I can get the wallpaper glue off better so I can start over. What's the best way to do this? Will it damage the drywall?

When the sprinklers come on the pipes moan, when I turn on the hot water at the kitchen sink "full" it comes out intermitingly and knocks. This is a new house so I can call the builder to come and correct, but is this something I have done or can fix on my own?

I recently painted several pine shleves. I placed items such as toys, books, and other crap. When I went pick them up they stuck to the painted shelf an left behind marks, scrapes and even pieces of fabric and paper. Is ther a way to prevent this from happening? a sealer? polyurathane? I don't want to use ugly plexi glass. Also, It dried for over a week before i put anything on it so save the "wait for it to dry" responses please. thanks again.

I was doing some touch up on my bathroom wall and used the paint that the previous owner used. The paint is semi-gloss but for some reason it is not shiny at all on the wall and its the very same paint that the previous owner used. Also if I wanted to get a painter to repaint my walls in the bathroom can they do that without messing up my wall border that I had installed??

rose bush (NO NOT A CLIMBER). How far will it be from the base of the plant? Will the texture be different from the other stems, etc. I am a novice. Thank you for not using technical words which have me running to a plant dictionary. You're on . . .

Are you a cleaning freak like my neighbour who has the bleach in her hands at 5:30am and spends all her spare time cleaning around her 2 boys? Or are you a bit more chilled out like me? Our house is cluttered but clean, i spend an hour cleaning one room only to move everything into another and so the cycle continues and my house is never totally clutter free, i can leave dirty dishes until the morning and the crumbs trod in the rug can wait until i get the hoover out sometime this week.
Im such a dirty girl and my neighbour of the same age ( 24 yrs) loves to rub her cleaning prowess in my face, oh the shame.

Looks like a whitefly but is fluffy. Leaves sap on leaves and has caused some to shed. Any idea what it is and how to control it? Thanks.
