The sofa and loveseat are elephant sage colored. The room is painted a very pale yellow. The furniture wood is dark walnut. The floors are light hardwood. What do I put on my coffee table? Send pictures of coffee tables with stuff on them, not coffee table books on it, but decorated with stuff like big vases, or fake fruit, or whatever. Thanks in advance!!

I'm looking for something simple I can do fairly often to get rid of food smells from my microwave. I don't want to replace the smell with another, so I'd like to avoid harsh cleaners. Just something easy so that my tea doesn't taste like chicken nuggets anymore.

I have an L shape house. I am doing a kitchen remodel. The living, dining and kitchen area is like a rectangular shape. I will have a peninsula 32 inches wide and 56 inches in lenghth. Fifteen of the 32 inches peninsula will overlap my dining room. The length will run parallel to my hallway. When I walk down the hallway I will see the peninsula 15 inches into the dining room area.

Is this odd? Is this a poor kitchen design?Will buyers not like this? I don't plan on selling this house for at least 8 - 10 years.

I was trying to grow peppers earlier this year and they kept geting covered in some strange white powder. Then when the peppers got big and before I picked the peppers I found huge caterpillers. Atleast 10. I found out they were Death Head Hawk Moths except they were still caterpillers. Anyway I need to know how to stop them next time. I really dont want to deal with them everytime I try to grow peppers. (I live in Florida if that helps at all)

Anyone know how to tell if my mouse infestation is a big one or just a few mice? I have a dirt floor crawl space for a basement. It's an old house. We've caught two mice so far with the older "traditional" mousetraps. Also, can anyone recommend a good, non toxic (Have a cat) way to get rid of them. Keeping in mind they stay in areas where the cat cannot get. eg. basement entry way, drawers, basement, walls, etc..

We recently purchased a house built in 1975. It is well-built but definitely dated. The bathtub is that ugly shade of mustard, and the toilet matches. The linoleum is absolutely horrifying. It is a disgusting poop color and especially grimy in the high-traffic areas.

We don't have much money, so we'd like to make improvements one by one as we have the funds. We were thinking of replacing the linoleum and toilet first, and then the bath-tub and cabinetry second. Is that a good approach? Who would we hire for each portion of the job? Is there any portion we could DIY????

Please help -- we're desperate! Love, poor new homeowners.

I need to disconnect some 220 volt wires in my main circuit breaker how do I go about it

2007-11-23 08:09:57 · 4 answers · asked by deutschersr@sbcglobal.net 1 in Maintenance & Repairs

In the process of getting my water mains renewed into the property. Going from lead to plastic & my plumber has suggested using 25mm (18mm Internal bore) from the external stopcock to inside the property. Some people have suggested that i use a 32mm (25mm internal bore) pipe as we wan to get a megaflow in the future.

It will service two bathrooms & maybe a downstairs shower room. My plumber has told me that 32mm is over kill while other people are saying that thew 32mm is the one to go for as the costs difference is minimal & i should look to get maximum flow rate.

Believe that the current pressure is under 2 bar & current flow rate is around 9ltr per minute.

Please help as the work starts next week

I have read some great advice on here but am still confused. My plan was just to remember where the wires were on the old one and match it to the new switch, but my house was built in 1963 and the switches look way different. One socket has three switches on it (2 are 3 way switches) with blue red and yellow, and maybe even brown? going through them. Any good suggestions of resources to figure this out?

We have a newer home with a gas start fireplace. I'm not a real handyman but I thought we could figure this simple project out. The problem I'm having is with the pipe. We already have a gas connection because of the gas start feature in the wood burning stove. The pipe comes into the fireplace and has a long "gas start" pipe. My understanding is that we would remove that part of the pipe then run the appropriate hose to the gas log heater. The problem is that this pipe seems like it won't move. I did get it to turn after much trying but the entire pipe, including the one coming from the wall, all moved. The pipe from the wall does have "thread" on the end connecting to the gas start pipe. I feel like if I could just get that pipe off I could do the rest of the project. Any advice?
