I decided to bring my hot tub inside and make an indoor hot tub room. But I need some help...

1. What is the best type of vapor barrier wall covering for underneath cedar?

2. Where can I find the right ventilation system that can handle the water vapor from the hot tub?

3. I have matte finish non-slip tile for the flooring, but do I need special trim along the walls?

4. Is there any thing else I should keep in mind?

5. The hot tub will be placed near an exterior wall. What should I do to make sure later I will be able to fill and drain the tub properly?


The room will be heated and the floor suports are very adequate for holding a full hot tub. Thanks for your help!

First i believed in it because it really affected TONS AND TONS of ppl's lives. (well according to alotta stories) Then i studied it and there are supposed to be different schools where they teach different things. For example one says the bagua should be laid over the house with the front door at the bottom. the other one says that its the compass directions that matter. If someone's front door faces North (am i correct in thinking that Bagua directions are opposite the real directions? old chinese directions?)then the 2 ways says to lay the bagua 2 different ways. Which one is true?
"true"?

my front door is in line with the back door (which is bad) and to disperse the energy, i heard its good to place a plant in between. i bought a fake tree. is that ok? also, is there any other remedies?

i live in a 2 story house and i live on the first floor and someone else lives in the 2nd floor.

The problem is that the staircase to the 2nd floor is parrallel to the front door and if the stairs continues all the way, it would overlap the front door half way (ahh hard to explain)
k so i heard its bad because all the energy is gains momentum on the stairs and rushes out through the door (well half as bad in my case)

my question is, does it affect me (who is living on the first floor)?

a broader question would be, does the feng shui of the 2nd floor have anything to do with me ?

Anyone know how to remove carpet glue from wood floors with a homemade solution? Besides the putty knife and scraping.. The carpet comes up and the padding stays firmly glued! It's a old house and I think the carpet has been there for at least 20 years or more.

i just moved into a house with a laminate floor already laid. its an oak color at the moment and as yet it has no trim. I really want to change the color to a darker color like mahogany. are there any products available that can be painted on to the floor and will produce a hardwearing finish?

I would like to leave the existing front of the garage, build a wall across & knock down the non-supporting wall from the dining room to make one large room across the back of the house & then create a new kitchen diner. This would involve moving a gas hob across the house to the current outside wall of the garage & a sink & dishwasher to a wall which has a cloakroom toilet on the other side. I'd just like an estimate to know if it's feasible to do it one day!

I'm looking for window treatments for my living room. My couches are somewhere between an olive green or a moss color. I don't think it is wise to try and match curtains to that color. So, what color should I go with? An earthy color...some kind of beige or brown?
