I purchased this chair in a garage sale for $40 intending on trying this out myself. It is a Parlor-style club chair with ball & claw feet and wood carved pieces along the front of the arms. As I began to remove some of the stitching, it became clear that I might have an expensive piece of furniture and it deserves professional work. The chair really has nothing wrong with it but a wobbly arm and the fabric is out-of-date but still clean. I also found straw-like fibrous material inside the arm which tipped me off that this chair might be older than 50 years. I would like to purchase the fabric myself being that I know how to find a bargain but would like to hire the work, is this possible? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Here is the link to a chair similar to mine but my chair has less detailing.

HI, I get the greatest email for 50 and over and it has this heater that sounds great :Flat Panel Wall Heater with Remote by First Street ONline, If anyone would like to find it, I would like to know if it might be cheaper for me living alone than turning on the gas wall furnace I have. I'm really trying to cut cost on my very tight budget. I call it living on pennies. I will also attach the site but I know many don't like to click on sites thanks http://www.firststreetonline.com/product.jsp?id=73897&promotion=82394&WT.mc_id=82394

I am having trouble hanging my sweaters because of those stupid shoulder bumps they create. I am just folding them into drawers instead, but am running out of space, so does anybody have an idea how to store clothing more effectively?

These are tiny little ants, only about 1mm in size, and they keep appearing all over the house. Sometimes there might be a dozen or so, but mostly they are just single. I notice them mostly on white backgrounds like the bath or sink, or cupboard doors, probably because they show up more. They don't appear to be harmful, just annoying, but I'm fed up with seeing them. I've tried spraying vinegar, (I don't like to use pesticides), and I put Vaseline along the gaps where I saw them going, but they still keep popping up. Anyone have any answers? I'd be really grateful!

Please click on my link to watch my dining room's decoration as I will walk you through. Therefore, make sure you put on your headphone and turn on the volume high as I explain in detail. My voice won't start until 50 sec later or so. So please be patient with me.

I want a new house really bad but even when I get it I know I'll still be crazy over taking virtual tours and looking in houses. I cry when I watch extreme makeover almost every time. I'm thinking about joining Directbuy to buy furniture..has anyone tried it? Is it okay. Does anyone else obsess like this? Do you know of a website where I could view beautiful mansions?

This is an old octagonal kiln, an L and L . I added a suction vent (homemade) by drilling some holes in the top and bottom, similar to the commercial add ons. Hot air still escapes throught the top holes though, I think because there are too many leaks elsewhere. In a smoke test, smoke will enter the bottom peek hole but not the top one. Can I seal the unit on the outside with aluminum foil tape, as is used on heat ducting work?

After 14 years nearly every window has at least one foggy pane. I can replace the panes, but will the problem reoccur as quickly? What happened?
