Home & Garden - 4 December 2007

I have a small living room with a 2 story vaulted ceiling (popcorn-white) and a wood moldingborder about 4' high. I want two good colors to paint both parts that go together well for the separation between the molding. I was thinking maybe a darker color on top and lighter on bottom. I have creme color couches and light wood floors. I always seem to go with neutral colors but wanted to maybe add some slight color. Any help is appreciated. I am a single male that likes a more masculine look...in other words no pinks lol

Anyone know of any sites on decorating with style that don't cost much. I've been making origami to decorate the ceilings, for example. Or does anyone have any clever fun ideas?

So I have a basement that is about 70% underground. About once or twice a year, it rains enough for water to get in. There is a sump pump, which pumps most of it out, and keeps the basement dry the rest of the time. But a little water gets in all around and it wicks into the carpet. It isn't bad, since it only wicks for about 3 feet all around the outside walls, and it only really happens about once or twice a year, but still, I don't like it. Also, the walls are framed about 6-8 inches from the foundation, so the walls stay dry and get good air movement.

But I was wondering about putting in another floor that will take the water better. I have already ruled out tile, since the floor is very uneven. And the ceiling is about 7', so I don't want to put leveling compound in, since this might raise the floor too much.

Is there a recommended flooring that would work well for this?

ok, i have a couple of the plants, one i wish to cut back just because the stump is getting long and all the leaves are on top. I know the stump will grow new leaves so my question is what about the part that im cutting off with all the leaves on it? Can it get potted and will it re root itself?

And do you usually need a building permit to install it, or just a final inspection?

The orginial application of the clear coating did not coat evenly. There are dull areas of the garage floor that are not covered well.
Thank-you

I've heard that I should refinish the floors before I paint, because the refinishing could harm the paint on the walls. True?

they said don't run it on 5/5 for more than 2 hours, why is that? Granted it's kicking out 200 degree air (last time I checked metal doesn't melt anywhere close to that), the auger is running twice as fast and the blower is on high. what would cause this to wear out faster (as they explained in the manual)? and other than the fan and auger motors, what else would wear out?

I am well aware I can buy a duster to take care of dust after it has fallen all over my furniture, but how can I combat dust before it ever falls, like while it's in the air? I live near an interstate, which makes things extra dusty. Or is it possible to basically prevent dust in my home?

I run a humidifier in my home, does that help the dust situation?

If anybody knows where the best type of place to buy rope for a low cost is, please let me know and be very specific as to what you are talking about. I don't want some general answer anybody could give like "the drugstore" or something like that, I want the name of a place that I should go to for getting the rope and for the cheapest price!

I live in michigan, I just bought my first pellet stove, a Breckwell Big-E. It seems to be kicking out the heat fine, I'm very happy with it. My question is, right now pellets are $4 a bag roughly in the begining of December, when you buy them in the summer, by the ton, how much are they then?
