I'm about to fill the walls to my house with this new technology of insulation but i'm not sure how to do it, i already did my attic with it, they gave me the blower and did it all by myself, now i want to do my walls and, i watched a video where they were putting the product "wet" with some kind of glue so it can stick to the walls, but when i went to the home improvment store they didn't have that attachment, did anybody asked for the attachment? or the "professionals" use that, and i have to install the drywall, make holes and fill between studs?, the reason i'm asking is because it looked real easy to do, actually a lot better than making holes and doing it 1 by 1, anyone that can help, i would appreciate it. Thanks!
And yes, i'll be putting new drywall, the drywall is not up yet, i'm just asking to see if i should put the drywall and then the insulation or i can use the machine with the attachment and stick it to the walls and THEN the drywall, hope this is understandable enogh.

Needless to say, I never got either.

Anybody else answer zillions of questions (and thereby uping yahoos profit margin) and get nothing? Just wondering.

I want to add a 600 sq foot apartment onto my house. I live in Alabama in a neighboorhood with no restrictions this is for my 76 year old mother who is in good physical shape. I need a blueprint to get a idea of what we are talking about or a website that will let me punch in what I want.

I would like to sub contract out the work myself who do I call first? Do I have the land prepared first and if that is yes who do I call?

I hope I have not asked to many questions at once!

I live in new Jersey and after a heavy rain storm, I have puddles that accumulate in certain area of the property. Are there trees or plants that I can plant that will help to absorb the water more rapidly rather that waiting for evaporation or the soil to absorb it? much of the soil is clay



.

Thank you

Well, since we are moving in to a new house my parent's are letting me re-do my whole room with my own money though (i saved up a lot). I wanna get a grey and pink bed set or a light yellow and pink bedset or a black and pink bed set.

I looked in google, target, and kmart and none of those bed-in-a-bags are fitting what i really want; can you help me out? since im gonna use my own money to buy other stuff for my room too i have a budget for the bed set... thats why i want a bed in a bag; i have a full size bed... budget: $80-150.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

My current (Bedroom) door is old, and it hardly ever closes... The lining is falling off, and the door itself is in pretty bad shape. >_<

any good places for easy fix / new doors that are cheap and durable? And, i like privacy, like when I'm on the phone with friends.. So it'll have to be thick. [:

(Also, My cats scratch on the door to get in, thats why the door is so bad-looking. Any doors that are less likely to scratch, would help a lot)

Brands/Sites/StoreNames/Prices, Are greatly appreciated. [;

Hi, I have a raised ranch with cathedral ceilings in the living room, so my hallway, entryway, dining room and living room all are tied into one another. I need to paint and can't decide what color to go with. I have a light beige couch, but my fabric windowshade for a very large window is maroon and expensive to change so I want to work around that. I hate white, I want some color, but I think beige with the beige couch will be too blah. I also don't want the room to look small, any suggestions are welcome!

3 of my walls is a dark redish color & my one wall is a very pale yellow & I need some brightness in my room & I had an idea of a curtain of lights. The one strand goes along the part in between my wall & ceiling & than strings of lights hang down. I was thinking of putting some sheer unflammable fabric over it so it sparkles. I've looked everywhere on the web & can't find anything about it besides Christmas lights. If you know of where they sell it or if you have them, please please please let me know! thank you! :D

I am thinking about painting my apartment and doing an estimate for pricing. I am unsure if you are charged an additional fee when they actually color the paint. And if so if it's just a general cost or it varies with the color.
