I just moved into an apartment and I didn't notice before that the walls and floors are REALLY old and ugly. I lived in the same apartment building before and it was in much much better condition. The lanlord isn't painting my apartment since they claim that it was painted 1.5 years ago but you can't tell since its old, banged up and not well kept at all.

I don't want to invest much since I don't own it and I won't be able to walk away with it once I move out. (The lanlord won't invest and fix up anything unless its something like plubming.)

Any ideas how to fix up or decorate the apartment with not spending a lot of money would be great.

Thanks in advance.

we have moved an upstairs radiator downstairs, extending pipework. all the other radiators get hot but the radiator that was moved doesnt.We have drained the system twice now and although we thought it was an airlock both times made no difference.constant bleeding of the system although air has been trapped still doesnt make any difference.

we have 3 cats and we keep the litter boxes outside on the lanai(live in florida) we just moved to a new house and the only place on the lanai that has enough room is only partially covered. i need a way to cover the back and top of the boxes. maybe something like a tent or lean to kinda thing?? any ideas would be helpful. my dog also uses the litter boxes so i don't want to totally enclose them because i don't think she will use them then. thanks for any ideas.

As you all on here told me to do, I looked under my flooring to see the insulation and it is that pink stuff with the aluminum foil looking side, around the crawl hole, which is inside my guest entry closet, the insulation is falling away from the floor for about 4 ft back from the opening. I took a flashlight and couldn't see any more hanging down but I couldn't see very far. IS THERE ANY WAY TO INSULATE ON TOP OF THE PLYWOOD FLOOR, extra carpeting, ????? anything, I am not trying to have a fancy home, I get no visitors, I am trying to survive disabled and low income and keep my heat in. So I take all answers even if they seem ridiculous because often I have to do the ridiculous thanks ahead of time. 56 yr. old dino again

I am a 56 year old single female on a limited budget so am trying to cut heating costs. I've been told to check my attic insulation so I did. It was blown in about 1981 to my single level 1100 sq. ft dwelling. When I look at it , it appears to look like stuffing. Could I DIY another type of insulation or pay someone a little to put more insulation in. NO I DON'T HAVE MORE MONEY so please don't say "Just do it right the first time" because if one doesn't have the money, they dont have the money. I am disabled as far as energy level. That is why I am broke, got no disability income !! former school teacher Thanks for any great advice 56 year old dino

OK, we've aquired one of those wooden swingsets from a neighbour. We took it apart in as few pieces as possible and transported it to our house. We're trying to reassemble it and have determined that one of the old metal bolts (approximately 8 inches long) has broken off inside the wood.

Any idea on how to get it out?

Finish/Trim carpenters;

I am going to have to hang some crown by myself, customer can't wait until my help is available. Two lengths are over 18' long. Material is finger jointed fir, custom milled. Up to twelve-fourteen feet I have had no problems doing this alone, but these lengths are too long. I definately don't want to have a length snap in half. Any suggestions on how to hold and shoot the nails by myself?
Has anyone tried double sided tape or Liquid Nails?
Thanks

when the water is filling in the tank after i flush the toilet, i can still hear the sound of fresh water being added to the tank long after its been flushed but the water level inside the toilet bowl doesnt overflow. i have to manually touch the floater thing inside the tank to make the toilet stop making the noise like its adding and wasting water.
what can i do so that i dont have to manually touch the floater in the toilet tank to make the noise stop?

We live in San Diego, pretty big city....and we need some foam padding for our sofa. Our loveable cat Benson decided to pee all over the couch last week, it soaked through one cushion, pretty much completely ruining it. Now our couch looks tacky as hell with two cushions left. Any ideas?
