Decorating & Remodeling - August 2006

After removing some old deco board in my bathroom, I found that there was a layer and a half of old wall paper underneath that had been mostly removed but there were spots that had not. When I began stripping the wallpaper, realized that the drywall had not been primed and prepared for wallpapering before the first layer had been put on and it was very VERY difficult to remove. The end result is that there are many places in the drywall where the top layer of the drywall has been torn into, leaving dark patches from the drywall's top paper layer. I wish to repaint the walls but will need to fix those patches so my walls will be smooth. Can I simply mud or spackle over them as I would nail holes? Or is there a different method I should use? I'm looking on Do it yourself.com but I haven't found my paticular scenario addressed.

he said he would make a decision by monday- im freaking because we need this house its 45 minutes closer to our jobs and its so great.

THE THING IS- we only have 1 child and i kind of think, that the landlord thinks we may not need a 4 bedroom. i duno though?? he didnt say anything he said we could make one room a computer room. ..


myhusband makes 2300+ a month been at job 3 year, i make 1800month and been at job 1 month but its going great. plus we have 9000.00 in savings with nothing to use it for besides this home...

would you rent to us? do you think he would rent to us? our current landlord will give him a good reference???
HE SAID 20 PPL SO FAR looked at it and only 2 filed out applications. is that good?

ANY ADVICE?? should i call him? i duno i wan tit

My bedroom has two sliding doors to the patio for which I already have gorgeous silk draperies. I added two windows and don't want to go to the expense of getting silk draperies for two small windows. Besides, I think it would be too much fabric. Has anyone seen two different types of window treatments in one room?

My house recently flooded and my insurance provider is going to replace the flooring on my stairs and the upstairs landing but not the bedrooms on either end (upstairs). Currently the stairs, landing and both bedrooms have matching cream carpet and the bathroom has wood laminate. I'm not sure what to put on the stairs and landing that will look good with the old bedroom carpets. A different colour carpet? Wood? I think if I try to match the carpet exactly it will look bad because the old carpet is slightly discoloured. Help!

I am building a pergola on my patio. My patio happens to be above the underground garage and is therefore composed on reinforced concrete, waterproofing and most likely some layer of sand and then these 2'x2' concrete pavers. I can not see any other method of attaching the pergola post to the ground, other then screwing a metpost to the pavers to hold the post. So the question is. Is screwing and aluminum post box to pavers and acceptable method of holding the pergola steady?
