We installed a corner jacuzzi tub and surrounded it with wainscott 3/4 up the wall. We trimmed the tub with some fancy moulding. We prepared it with kilz and attached it with clear silicon. The tiniest little bead of silicone oozed out under the moulding. I used white tub caulk as a final seal and kilz and painted over that. It is all working well but the surface has a crack and I suspect it is right over the place where the silicon oozed. I then read on the tub caulk tubing that it will not work over silicon. Is this what is causing the crack in the paint? All of these preparations are working well except in the one little area. Thanks!!

Ack, I'm living in Germany and don't speak German. Painting the foyer red. Accidentally bought the semi-gloss paint and didn't realize it until the paint I was cutting in with started to dry. Will it be a mess if I finish cutting in with the semi-gloss and then roll with matte tomorrow? Or should I stick with the semi-gloss? The foyer is small and not terribly bright--maybe it will reflect the light and look good, rather than frighteningly garish? The walls are a rather porous material, so the paint is soaking in rather than sitting on top. But it does have a sheen to it.

Hey, the microwave i have is almost 12 years old, it has a bit of rust in it so i was thinking about giving it a paint inside, what type of paint should i use (is it safe to use paint in the first place?) and would it be 'food-friendly'? Thanks in advance!

I'm selling my wonderful old Craftsman home, but the hardwood floors are AWFUL. Finish is completely worn thru in places (like in high traffic areas) and it's gonna be a bear to clean. I'm wanting to sell it quickly and cheaply and need to make the floors look decent for showing to prospective buyers. I'm sure they will want to completely restore the floors, but at my asking price, I really can't spend a lot to restore them myself. Any ideas???

I've gotten sick of just taping posters on the wall. I was thinking of putting up a bunch of small pictures in frames over my bed and adding a nice lamp to the desk in front of the other wall so that that area doesn't look bare, but I'm not sure

a family basement or should we leave the suite alone? We are planning on selling this house later in the year. We tried seeling it last year and didnt even have one offer come our way so we are going to sell it again this year.
We have put in a new kitchen, new floors and paint. Everything else has already been redone.
