Today I checked with Lowes, Namco, and Leslie Pool but none of them had any answers or were very helpful. Can you tell me what I need to do? Do I have to cure it first; with what? What type of paint do I use? Thanks in advance!

I know you are not to attach the laminate to the floor underneath. So what is the best way to allow for the pivots and brackets for the bifold doors? Do you just cut around? Has anyone found any ideas that not only work but also look good?

Just need to know about fan lights combos for bathrooms, can you wire it so that the light can be turned on separately from the vent. Doesn’t makes sense to me to turn on the light if you just need to turn in the fan ex. during the day.

The lint trap is on the inside and I clean it before every use but when I remove the lint screen I can see lint down in where it is almost impossible to get at with a vacuum. Any ideas out there?

I'm gutting my bathroom and will be tiling the floor and then adding a new vanity and a new toilet.

The question is, do you tile before you put in the toilet and new vanity or do you put in these items first and then tile around them?

Concrete slab foundation that I'm currently working on leveling.

My kitchen floor has old linolium on it that I want to replace. I'd like to try to do it myself but I am not sure what would be the easiest, cheapist way to go. The kitchen is pretty small. I am considering more linolium, tile, or that fake wood flooring. Anyone have any input?
