Design & Décor: Any thoughts on slate vs. marble for a hearth?

We're refacing with ledgestone veneer. My designer daughter said slate...and I agree...but want to make sure it is the best choice for wear/use. We USE our wood-burning fireplace, btw.

    Just make sure that everything close is flame resistant.

I need to replace the worn carpet on our first-floor master bedroom.

Problem is, the bedroom lies between a door to the back yard to the garage. So the man of the house leaves dirty footprints on the carpet while going back & forth getting tools from the ...»
garage while he's working in the yard. The obvious solution is for him to take off his muddy shoes each time, but good luck with that!

I'm wondering if there is an especially dirt-resistant and/or cleanable carpet choice out there. Alternatively, can anyone recommend a hard-surface covering that is attractive, easy to clean, non-slip and affordable?

Thanks, everyone!

  • Final look after siding  installation and paint. 1

I removed all the LP siding on my house and replaced with Hardie board siding, caulked and painted.

Prior to replacing the siding I was able to seal exterior with foam and Tyvek.

Painting: My son just overloaded the washer machine which caused water to fill the plastic catch basin underneath, which then led

to water leaking down through the kitchen ceiling. I soaked up all the water from the basin and the water stopped dripping from the ceiling, but now we're left with a 4x4 wet square with ...»
a little loose paint in the ceiling. I'm guessing this is going to turn brown. What should I do? Dry the spot before mold can form? Will a blowdryer work? Help! I have no idea what to do or who to call to save my once flawless kitchen ceiling.

    house. I think that it MIGHT be possible for the area to dry, but would be easier to just replace the sheet of drywall and paint or stipple. KILZ might cover up the water stains.

  • Our firefplace - the double mantle is supposed to be 'unique' for this house, so we were told.

Design & Décor: Hey everyone. It's been awhile since I've stopped by Hometalk. Been busy setting up our veggie garden.

Anways.. the question I have for you all is this.. we have an old masonry fireplace. I don't think it's original and or was rebricked at some point. I recently had it inspected and told it was inoperable because it needs to be lined and a new cap.

We don't want to use it as a masonry fireplace - we would like to put a wood stove insert.

I was told we still need to have it lined, cleaned and inspected before putting an insert in. ...»

Does anyone have experience with this and does it sound right?

We are in central Florida so it does get REALLY cold, but it does dip down a few nights every year.

Thanks so much

    A typical fireplace chimney cannot accommodate the extremely HOTTTT fires generated by a wood stove...They can be very dangerous if installed wrong and can cause fires. BE very careful. I personally would prefer gas logs, they won't generate as much heat but in my opinion are much safer.

Outdoor Living: I'm having French Doors put in between the porch and main living area.

I have had 2 contractors come by and give estimates of $2800-$3000. I went to Home Depot and priced their most expensive French door plus installation-----less than $1500. Please help me ...»
to understand how using a contractor vs Home Depot's contractor can double the price. Is there that much difference in the quality of the doors?

    You're paying for their expertise. You wanna make sure that the doors do not leak and close properly. You could always get a 3rd estimate and use the middle one. Just don't be to "skimpy" you may regret it if it's not done properly.
