I have a problem each year with some sort of animal, usually a rodent, taking up residence in my attic.

When it's a squirrel or bird, it's okay because they do not destroy anything, but the mice like to chew on things and leave droppings everywhere. I get rid of them humanely but how can I prevent from hosting anymor critters?

Die Fabric ON a chair

Hi, I have a similar chair that I want creamier. I need ideas on how to die it (myself). I'm thinking of tea/coffee dying, but that will probably give a splotchy finish, which may be okay as were are using it in a shabby chic type baby room. I've used fabric spray paint before, but it did leave a harder finish. Any ideas?

Renewing fixtures

Want to replace a 22 year old tub/shower faucet. Original was Price Fister. Have been told I have to replace the valves in the walls. Can't just replace the handles, even if I use New Price Fister. Anyone know anything different?

  • I did the whole 10 X 12 room for about $80, but any future room will cost about $30. That's cheap flooring! 11

    stickler for close up details. How do you think the edges would look? Maybe I'll try the landing first. Also, I have linoleum in my laundry, that I had planned on tiling. Think this would work on the linoleum? I'm thinking so!

    Unfortunately, because of the height (third floor) on our hornets nest it was going to be ...»
    hundreds to hire some to remove it. We got 3 quotes. Finally, we realized that it was 4 feet from the window so we waited till they were back in and my husband reached out the window with the pole stabbed at the nest then started spraying, admittedly, ducking in and out of the window. ;)
