Thanks so much for the google suggestion. Found a great plan for a headboard. Didn't see any classes in my area.
Excuse my ignorance, but what is a sticky thread?
I've checked online for classes that will teach me furniture building basics. I cannot find any near my area of Vancouver BC.
I don't find that videos or books are that easy to understand as I am a more hands on approach type of person.
I just want to replicate some of the simpler stuff I...
My tenant wants to paint with Benjamin Moore paint. I can get a better deal with Mills Paint in Vancouver BC. The tenant has given me a colour code for her choice. Would Mills Paint be able to replicate the exact colour with this code or do I need a swatch or do I need a chip sample?
I've grew up in this abestos-full house for many years as a child and now I'm residing in it again for the last half of my life. I can't live with this heavily on my mind. Nestor, thanks for alleviating my stress.
Thanks to everyone for your input. I took a quick read on Wiki and will have to go back because it's quite lengthy. The 9/11 disaster was an interesting tidbit.
Having a company to give an assessment is beyond what I can pay now. However, I understand I can send a lab a small sample of...
I'm going to remove an old toilet and put in a new one. I'm not sure if there is any difference between a $30 toilet and a $200 toilet? I'm am so not a plumber, but my brother is. I want a toilet that will flush well, easy to clean and make me feel like I'm sitting on a throne. What do I...
I recently moved into a rental which belongs to my parents and found out that there is abestos on the outside and inside of this three-storey 1919 house. The outside plates (tiles) cover all around the third floor and all around the bottom floor. It is also in the bathroom floor tiles but that...
Thanks Nestor for the valuable time-saving method. I don't mind paying more for high quality paint as this probably equals buying primer and doing two coats of paint. Plus my time is valuable. I'm painting the basement as practice for the real "professional" paint job I have to do when I...
Thanks for the suggestion. I thought I was being prudish with a white or off-white choice but I do want the basement to be bright. The front window faces North and the side windows are small and the sunlight is blocked by the adjacent houses and only gets minimal light. It will be a lot of...
I was hoping to put the stick up light outside of the shower on a wall which is only 15 inches from the curtain. The stick up light uses 3 AAA battery and would only be on when showering or cleaning the shower.
The past tenant painted the basement a myriad of colors. The living room is lime green and the in-wall shelves are burgundy. The kitchen wall is a mix of burgundy and yellow. The bedroom is yellow. All the baseboards are white.
I want to choose more neutral colours such as light beige...
Sylvania has come up with a very bright stick up light. I need more lighting for the tile shower stall in my basement. However, it's a very old 1919 house and I do not wish to toil with new wirings.
I was hoping to stick this light on the wall or ceiling just outside the shower stall (with...
