    Faux Brick wall glue removel??

    Actually found out that though it may be a messy job I won't have to remove sheet rock as my mom attached it all to a slick type of board and in some areas I have found it is coming off very easy and the rest is popping off quite nicely! Behind the 1/8" slick board is the studs no sheet rock...

    Moms Freezer melts ice cream

    no when i bought ice cream I would always put it in the back of freezer to keep it as cold as possible. Last night I noticed that the freezer section dial was set on 2 so I put it on 5 hoping that that solves the problem

    Faux Brick wall glue removel??
