Yellows and geens who be good to start off with. Will add color, brighten things up and complement the light brown.:banana: :D :agree:

Unless you plan on selling, don't be afraid to use some color. My work brings me into thousands of homes and most keep it safe by using neutrals on the walls. I think colors that inspire you brings out the spirit of your home.

Looks like your sister knew what she was doing. That really changes the look of things.

About 5 years ago I had red oak wood flooring installed. They look great but I knowest a hole in one plank. I think it was a knot that dropped. What is the best way to fit this. Should I just use a wood filler or is there a better way?

I think the best person to get your answers from is a local realtor. They can tell you if the improvment you what to do to a particular area will increase your property value and by approx how much. Most realtors will be happy to go over this with you in hopes of getting your listing or your...

Did you seal the walls first with a good primer? If not that will cause lap marks. The paint is soaking into the porous walls and drying too quick. Once there you can't get rid of them. I would suggest priming with the best quality sealer you can find and re-paint.

Not sure how you would go about your project but we had a similar situation. We had to do some repairs on a walled over fireplace. When we opened it up we found a time capsule from the 1915. It was very interesting.

Ordiances with vary depending on where you live. I would place a call to Modesto city hall and check if with a building inspector to see if there is an ordiance for drop ceilings in a garage.

Last year when I pulled out our dresser to clean I noticed some mold in the corner. I clean it using a solution of bleach and water. Then this year ( year once a year) it returned. This is an outside corner so I'am thinking it's not insulated enough. Any suggestions on how to stop this mold from...

I have a black top driveway that is 12 years old. Every 2-3 years I resurface it with something from the local home center. I aso mix a little sand in to fill the cracks. Now it's getting older and the crackes keep coming back. I want to use a superior product on it but don't know a good one...

I think your too close to the heat registers also. In the pic with the heat register on the right looks like you will have a hard time installing a rod with how close the ceiling cuts into your trim. But I think you can still get away with drapes, well not drapes but fabric. My suggestion is a...

Hi Courageous1 I agree with others that cellular shades are a good choice. I like them for many reasons but they do have there drawbacks. There are either open or closed, creating a .... .....limited abitity to control light or privacy. And for that reason I would suggest...

My sub pump drains into a tube that direct the water away fom my house. The tube is buried and leads toward the gully abbout 30 feet away. Latley I water from my pump is going into the tube but the tube is backing up and over flowing and digging a hole where my pump discharges. I think the tube...

I think the mural is very cool. A top treatment for your shade would give it that lived in feel. Maybe a cloth valance or even a cornice. Also if your on ground level and want more privacy, consider some type of top down bottom up shade.

Is the brick just old where some sandblasting would would give it a new look. Do you have any pics? That would help.

Thats one heck of a clean up job before you. But looks like it would be worth the effort. You might want to consider having the doors and draws of the lower cabinets replaced. Looks like plywood with a varnish finish so shouldn't be too expensive. Save orginal hardware, they should clean up...

Thanks for the info Nestor. I will look into the mosquito magnet. I do know about the bats but I think the mosquitos out number the bats 1,000,000 to 1. Reminds me of the time we visited the Volo nature area in Volo Illinois. They have the largest bat population in the midwest and they all live...

No you don't have to strip it but you do have to scrape any loose paint. Then clean it really good. If there is a sheen you want to dull it by sanding a little or the new paint might not bond too good. Make sure you use a paint designed for decks.

Anyone come across any effective techniques for getting rid of or controlling mosquitos?

Congratulations. Your gonna have your hands full at night. Hopfully you'll get lucky and your new guy will sleep though the night. If not grab a sleeping bag for your older son because sleeping in another room is the only way he and you will get any sleep.
