I don't know about the 1500 dollar deductable, but I know when I had a pipe burst one winter that was under my kitchen, I collected for the damage but not for the plumber or the pipe. I think that's pretty standard. As for a different deductable for water damage, I never heard of that.

I like the idea of having someone just pull it out but wondering what something like that might cost...

I don't believe it's plastic, it's about fifty years old (that's how old the house is) it's some kinda metal, i guess, with ugly green enamel? isn't there a spraypaint or something that would work?

my ex and I tried to refinish our hardwood floors. DId everything by the book, rented the huge industrial size sander, used the right varnishes or whatever their called (this was a while ago) and in the end, after spending all that money, they still looked like crap. we could have hired...

I saw in a discount store some carpet tiles that fit together with like toungue and groove sort of pattern, and it said they can be lifted up and machine washed. I'm afraid to buy them because I had bought the cheap ones at Home Depot (carpet tile) and they got wet and all mis-shappen and I had...

I have a full length mirror that is part of my closet door, it's built into the door and it is old and the mirror looks cloudy and no matter how often or with whatever I clean it with, it still looks cloudy but I don't want to replace the door with the mirror in it because it is so retro and...

thanks for your input, do you think I should do the ceiling dark as well or will that make the room too clausterphobic? If not, what would look good besides white? I hate white, even on a ceiling.

my living room is warm beiges, tans, and golds. (the furniture and carpet) I was thinking about painting the walls maybe burgendy but I'm afraid it may be too dark, any thought anyone?

my advice is to clean it nice and shiny and then de-clutter it,, take out any personal photos and whatnot so the people can envision how it would look with their own stuff in it. but the main thing is to keep it simple and don't have too much stuff in it. Beverly

what kind of tile is it? some guy at home depot told me that you can spraypaint ceramic tile with appliance spray paint, but it doens't come in many colors. you have to get the heat resistant kind so it doesn't peel, but if it's vinyl tile, i don't know. Beverly
