Growing up I almost thought of the Taylor's as a part of my family. Kinda funny that this was the start of Pamela Anderson's career and that they got a Playboy Playmate as a recurring character on a family friendly sitcom.

No the painting on our place ( exterior and interior) was quite shoddy and thinly painted. I'm using a soft interior broom and a gentle washing up detergent.swan wrote:LetMeSleep wrote:In the last week I've painted the bathroom walls and ceiling, painted the porch, painted our dining room, washed the exterior of the house and done up the garden and edging.

Assuming you used a pressure washer, do you know what PSI you had it set at for washing the siding? I'm about to embark on that with the place we just closed on.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Could probably do the tear out myself, though.tragabigzanda wrote:doug rr wrote:yep, call someone who does it for a living..hlniv wrote:Anyone have any experience with putting in hardwood floors.

Though you could probably take our the carpet and vinyl yourself to save some dough. I consider myself a fairly handy person, and hardwood floors are not something I would tackle without having done it once or twice under someone else's supervision.
