If the sheet has no pattern to distinguish the right direction how can one know if the sheet is put on correctly? Is there a position where the cleaning label or tag is suppose to be?

Want to hear from people who have done this, or know someone who has. How difficult it was, how expensive, how is it holding up?
My plan is to rip the laminate off exsisting countertops and work with that as far as putting on granite.
Or maybe you can reccommend some other types of stone type tile.

We have an unfinished basement and I was wondering do we have to put drywall up and tape?
Is there any other way to make a basement warm and comfortable.We have a rough-in for a bathroom but thats is not mandatory.We would mostly use it for a teenagers bedroom and rec/tv room.There is storage also.
Thank you

I have had 3 people come out to give me a quote. All 3 have stated I do not need primer (the walls are the icky eggshell/ivory/off-white builders love).One said b/c there were some grease stains and crayon marks from the previous owner, only those areas need to have Kilz on it. They all will do any wall repair needed. 1st quote is $1000 on about 1300sq ft w/ a 2 story foyer... the others I'm waiting on their proposals...

I thought you had to prime?

I used the chemicals that they gave me at Home Depot (I think its called Zed) and sprayed it several times on the wallpaper in my bathroom. The first layer of the wallpaper with the desing came off but behind it is this yellow layer which is very hard to remove even after spraying it 8 times it is only possible to scratch it off with your finger which is not efficient and takes too long. If I try to take it off with with a scorching tool it damages the wall. Can anyone tell me an easier way to remove this paper, which I think is suppose to serve as a moisture barrier.

We are in the process of building a master bathroom and I was wondering if anyone knows of any websites (free) where you can design your own floor plan, where you can put the size of the room and add fixtures and all that good stuff? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

I live in apartment by myself, so the table isn't that grand. My style is very "rich" looking with lots of deep colors and plants. I always keep a placemat and napkin with ring on the table...still looks like its missing something. What do you think?

I used the scoring tool, the wet pad...let it sit for nearly an hour (just like the directions said) and when I went to remove the wallpaper (a border), the first layer of drywall came with the paper. The only thing I can think is that the guy who put it up (previous home owner) used super glue or something to hold the paper to the wall?!

the emulsion that has been painted over artex in the bathroom is beginning to peel of - probably the artex wasn't sealed before applying the emulsion - any thoughts on how to remove the paint? - or would it be simpler to seal the whole lot and then re-paint over the sealant. removeing the artex not really an option - too messy, and possibilities of asbestos...
cheers for any advices

I know that it is a job for the pros, but I am just trying to figure out a ballpark price for a prospected remodeling job. The home is just over 1000 sq ft. What did you pay and how long did it take? Did the people who removed it also put up your new siding?
Thank you for your time.
