I want to paint my bathroom, but at the top of my tub enclosure, there is a 2 1/2 strip all the way around that has mostly detached. I am afraid to remove it because I don't know how to fix it, I know it's the tape. What do I do do fix this problem? Did they (who ever did this job) put the wrong pain on it after taping, did they use the wrong tape? If they used the wrong tape, what is the right one? If it's the wrong paint, what is the correct paint?
I didn't think it mattered what kind of paint you used in the bathroom, I know it would matter if you used wallpaper, but not paint.
Maybe they used the wrong cauking? I know there is special cauking that is made especially for the bathroom (where there is water) was that the problem? Please let me know. I want to paint the bathroom but can't till I solve this problem.
Thanks for any answers.

My style is French Country. The colors of my curtains are floral with French Blue, Yellow, Red. My walls all over the house are off-white. I am choosing among 3 nice ones: (1) gold persian design (2) yellow with blue lattice design (3) patterned (not as busy as persian) earth-tone terracota with black border

They have been covered with carpet for years but I will pull the carpet & prep the floors. I live in WV where the contractors are typically cheaper than bigger metro areas. Thanks

My husband and I live with three cats (all different colours), a yellow labrador, a pet rat, and a small child. We are planning to spend up to $2,000 on a new sectional sofa unit for our living room where we spend most of our time. The animals cannot be kept out of this space.

I am thinking leather (or imitation leather) would be easiest to keep free of hair and dirt, and to wipe up spills from. My husband says cloth is just as good if you get it Scotch guarded. I also want to know if anyone has had cats claw on their sofas and how they stopped it - only one of my cats has had his nails yanked and it wasn't me. I would hate to invest all this money (we are not rich) and have the couch destroyed or filthy in no time.

Thanks all!

Ok, so i'm sure many has had roomate issues before. In this case: 4 people are moving into a 5 bedroom home. Like many homes that are built these days, the master bedroom is huge, yet the rest of the rooms allow a person to barely walk into. So the problem is that the rent is 1600 dollars per month and we dont know how to split the rent evenly so that it is fair between the person who gets the master bedroom and the other three who have to settle for the smaller rooms.

I've been looking for a mirror for a bathroom and I found one that isn't marketed as a bathroom mirror. It has a cardboard backing. Can I still use this in a bathroom or will it ruin easily in there?
