I think baking soda and sunlight are your best options. Empty the closet and let it air out, days or weeks if you must. Sprinkle baking soda in there. Vaccum the old and add new baking soda every 2 or 3 days. Wash whatever clothing you can wash, the rest just hang or lay outside in direct sunlight and wind until it does not smell anymore.
I have 5 perfect solutions to your problem.
1. Stop looking at him.
2. Build a 6 foot fence.
3. Curtains.
4. Find a hobby.
5. Move.Any one of the above will fix this most serious problem you have.
I am going outside now with my white shirt on to do various chores around the yard. I hope my choice of yard work fashion does not “cheapen” my neighborhood. Also talking to your Dr. like someone else recommended is a very good idea.
There are some people that are leak detectors. They drag out all this gear like you said. Ultrasound and whatever. I have a guy that uses basically a stethoscope. He is always to within about a foot of the leaks. You may also want to consider putting a new water main. Just dig a trench next to the old one. This is a good chance to put a larger pipe (3/4 inch) for some better water pressure.
I know the one you are talking about… Goodluck, those things are super hard to get off, you need to twist it off, I broke one. It was ok because I was removing the tub anyway. Those are some old style stoppers.
If you want to do a professional job, use the hardibacker they make a thin one. Liquidnail it to the wall and then secure it with screws to the studs, add fiberglass mesh tape (drywall tape) to the seams and fill the seams with thinset or mastic or whatever you are using to stick the tile to the wall, then install the tile.
It is not that hard, Home Depot has a few good ones, they are simple to wire, they only have 4 wires and its like telephone wire. They come with instructions.
a utility knife cuts carpet. The door puzzles me. Is this a pocket door? a glass door? is there no door there because by blocked off you mean a wall has been built?
Sorry I cant help with the door, but the utility knife will do the trick for cutting carpet, also use a guide for a clean straight cut. Metal yard sticks work well.
Its clogged, or the pump is not working, Dishwashers supply lines come from below and the drain is from above… it is kind of backwards if you think about it but thats the way it is. The drain line usually hooks up to the garbage disposal or to the kitchen drain if you dont have a disposal.
Disconnect it and run the washer, when the drain cycle starts check and see if water is coming out of the drain hose, use a 5 gallon bucket so water does not go alover the place. The other thing you can do that will fix it for sure is throw it away and get a new one. =)You need to put the baseboard first, then the strips for the carpet then stretch the carpet to the baseboard. I am guessing it is bunching up because it is too long, trimming it just a bit with a knife might help.
you are looking at around 30 to 40 cents a sq foot including windows and doors, for example a wall that is 8 feet high by 10 feet wide is 80 square feet, so at 35 cents a sq foot thats 28 dollars. If there was a window and a door in this wall it does not change the price.
If you can take it off do it. If it is on a slab removing it should not be that hard. If not, screw some Durock down over it. If you think thats too thick (1/2 inch) they make thinner stuff (1/4). I would take off the tiles, but thats just me.
a few drips here and there are ok. Dripping wet drywall that has soaked all the way through is garbage. Basically go with what your gut tells you. Tell your builder that the roof goes up first, then the windows and exterior walls and doors, then the rough plumbing, electrical and HVAC, and then the drywall. It is almost the last thing you do. The floor being last and the kitchen cabinets being even more last.
You have tons of sanding to do. I hope you have lots of time.
Rust-Oleum is good for iron.
