We need to get it off and get the wall re-painted, but we don't have much money, and we're really not sure how. It's coated (shiney) wallpaper...

i am pulling up the vinyl tile on my kitchen and breakfast area. instead of installing conventional flooring, i am thinking about staining or painting the concrete slab. is this a viable option? cost efficient?

We paid almost £1000 to have our bathroom tiled and plumbed in. The guy did an okay job. However, he didnt link up the overflow pipe on the bath to the rest of the waste water system and this has lead to our neighbours flat getting flooded. The damage isnt too bad, i think we could probably just steam clean the carpet and get out most of the stain - the problem is i don't think we should have to pay for it as for £1000 he didnt do his job properly! I have contacted the tiler to tell him the story but he won't answer my calls, return messages or emails. I really don't know what to do. We saved for ages for this bathroom in our 1st home and i'm terribly sad about the experience. I dont think we can afford to buy a new carpet for the neighbour (if steam cleaning doesnt work)..... does anyone know legally how i stand or have any suggestion how i can claim the carpet money from the tiler? any thoughts would be appreciated.

When we remodeled our kitchen 3 years ago, we were told we needed to put down cement backerboard before the vinyl could be installed (to insure proper warranty of the vinyl). So we did. Now we would like to replace the vinyl with ceramic tile. Can we simply remove the vinyl and use the existing backerboard to install the tile on? We want a quality tile job, but would like NOT to have to take up the backboard and put down new backerboard.

The floors will be either ash-white marble or white-brown marble. The walls are white with a tinge of barley. The sofas are beige and red. I have both red and coffee brown/beige carpets that I alternate. Stumped as to floral, stripes, checks, lacy or what. No clue as to color either.

I want to ship a sofa. Can you recommend a shipping company?

Also, some people recommend U-Haul. but I am a girl and I only know how to drive a sedan. Isn't it to dangerous to drive a U-Haul that is very long and you cannot see other cars when making turns?

There is a very light coating of paint which covers the middle of almost every step going down the stairs, Its as if paint has been cleaned from the bottom of someones shoes but they have not cleaned it properly and then walked down the stairs.

I don't know much about painting, so last year I painted over a door without using primer. Now the new coat of paint comes off if it's bumped or scratched - so the door looks terrible. I think the original coat was glossy latex paint, and the paint I used was flat latex. Is there a way I can paint over it, or do I have to do the laborious job of removing the previous layers of paint?

When you see The Gap, make a left, and then keep going until you see the house with the painted pink garage. Then make a right, and it's the third house on the left. Adjacent from the Subway restaurant.

I heard that you don't have to seal the grout between the tiles in a bathroom, is this true?

Do you need to scre the threshold down or can use just a sealer under it? If you have to use masonry screws do you set the door and get it plumb and then drive the screws or do you have to pull the door out and try to set up some anchors under the threshold? The stupid company who made this door doesnt have any instructions on how to install the door with a concrete slab.
