We bought a cottage type place that has no kitchen in it at all and a bath with just a toilet and shower, we are having trouble figuring out what to do that would look good. Is their a virtual site that we can go to or someone that can design something that wont cost a fortune for them to plan something

Hi guys

I have found a few walls in my home have (rising?) Damp.

What do any handymen/tradesmen recommend the best way to keep the damp from entering my home without tearing down the wall.

The Damp appears in Black Patchy spots.

10 points to best answer once tryed.

Many Thanks

I've got all the wax out of it, but now I don't know what to do with such a nice jar with such a nice, tight lid. It's too nice to just throw away. Any suggestions?

I found a can of paint that seems perfectly good except it has no label at all. The lid is rusty, but the inside is clean. It doesn't smell any stronger than indoor paint.

How can I tell if it's interior or exterior? I want to paint my living room, but I know from reading the other posts that it's not a good idea to use exterior paint.

Thanks.

I am just curious is it pricey to install heating units under hardwood floors, and is it big on the bill.

Whats the pros and cons of it?

Is it better than a central air & heating

We just built a new master bath, and are going to install one recessed light over our shower. Is there a specific one I need to use for a shower? Or will just a regular one work? Thanks!
