Hi, sounds like you have nothing to lose if you try pulling he wall paper off. If the walls are ok under the wallpaper and just need a touch up job that would save you money. But the worst case would be the walls are falling to bits then go to your last plan and panel over it. But I am thinking what you are thinking, someone just got lazy. Noelene

Hi Hope this helps you out. I saw a plumber do this with my swiming pool plumbing. He needed to bend the white pipe to get around a sight bend so he used a heat gun to soften the pipe and I couldn’t belive how well it worked. So I was thinking if you can’t line up the hole perfectly you can do the same thing with a heat gun and bend the pipe to fit. Noelene

Hi I noticed no one has been able to help you out yet regarding the cats under your house. Bravey gave you a great way to get the smell out of the vent.

Now this is somthing you may or may not want to try, but I did it to get rid of some rats under my house but it took a couple of goes.

Because I have a swimming pool I always have a couple of containers of Dry Chlorine for the pool. What I did was heaverly sprinkle chlorine all under my house. The rats hated and moved out. Plus it helped reduse that awfull smell.

The warnings are.. wear eye and breathing protection. The fumes are strong at first but it dosn’t take long to disappear.

The cats are going to hate it and won’t be able to live there. The good thing is the chlorine is going to kill any bacteria that has formed under the house and help get rid of the smell. Let me know how you go.

Hi rausad,

Remember the old saying “fight fire with fire” its the same with oil, in your case. that is fight oil with oil. Spray WD40 onto the oil stain and the WD40 will start to move the black oil stain out. Hose it off then sprinkle landry powder over it and get your broom and scrub it off and give it another hose down.

WD40 is also great for removeing oil stains from your driveway where you park your car. If you go to WD40 web site you will find a page that gives you a zillion other great uses for it.

Hi,
Have you got timber floors. Because it sounds like you might have visiters under your house. eg rodnets or even a cat.

Are you able to get under the house and check it out.

Hi Guys,

I remodled my bathroom and moved the bath tud under two windows. The Windows are about 2ft by 3ft in size but I needed to cover then like you guys have to. But I didn’t like the look of the curtains there all of the time.

What I did was put two small hooks either side of each window at the top. Bought one shower curtian and made two smaller curtains.I cut them to size and sowed the top so I could put a small curtain rod in the top of the curtain. Then I hang it on the window when I am having a shower then take it off when I have finished.

I also but A hook behind my bathroom door so when I dont need the shower curtains I hang then on the back of the door.

Hope this helps you out. Noelene

Thanks Thiggy,

But do you think I can trust my 17 year old to mow the lawn again.

Hi Doug,
You might need to take a close look at your blades, it sounds like one of them is bent. It only has to be sightly bent to cause problems. If possible can you take them off and have a good look at them and if they are bent try to straighten them but most likely you may need to new ones.

My mower did be same thing so I don’t let my 17 year old son go near the mower again. I somtimes think that was his plan to get out of mowing the lawn.

Hi Brian,

Hope this helps you out. The problem is the nitrogen levels in your dogs urine which causes the grass to burn and go yellow. There is a product called Dog Rocks which you place in the dogs drinking water.

Dog Rocks is a mineralised rock that changes the dogs nitrogen levels in the urine. The key element in Dog Rocks is “Zeolite” which neutralises nitron levels without altering the ph level.

Dog Rock also lowers tin levels in the water while increasing boron,barium, manganese and stronin levels, that is good for your dogs.

I live in Sydney Australia and I know we can buy it here. But I am sure you must be able to buy it in the USA. but it might come under a differant name. The main thing to look for is the key ingrediant “Zeolite”

The safest and the easyest way to remove paint splatters is spay wd40 on it and let it soak in, then useing your credit card or something like it (nothing metal)scrape off the paint. WD40 has this great way of getting under the dryed up paint so it can’t stick.

Plus your pellet stove is going to look like new once you polish it up with a clean cloth. But please don’t take my word on it go to wd40 site and click on there uses for wd40 and they even say its good for that type of thing and 2 billon other uses.

Hi Danon,
First I need to explain how the manufacture covers your chair useing suade or leather because it is differant to the way fabric chairs are coverd. The most common way suade and leather chairs are made is they cut the suade using a pattern then sew it together then they put all the padding into it. Then they pull the hole thing over the recliner frame making sure it all lined up and sits correctly on the frame. Now they turn it up side down and useing a stapple gun they firmly pull on the leather and stapple it to to timber underneath it and they then use cheesecloth fabric to seal it of, this prevent unwelcome visitors getting into your lounge eg, spiders.

Now getting back to repair your recliner. Turn it up side down and remove the staples, you will see two lots of staples the first lot holds the fabric on the second lot hold the leather on. Once you have removed all of the staples you should be able to pull off the suade, the best way I can explain it is its like putting suade gloves on your hand. “your hand being like the chair frame” now you have to pull the glove off your hand. It might be a little hard but don’t give up.

Once you have it off you will be able to see the frame and fix it. you are welcome to e-mail me with pictures of your recliner so I can see it and get a better idea of what it looks like and I might be able to help you better. Then I can take you though it step by step and making sure you don’t damage your suade. noeleneramsay@hotmail.com
