Was told by one of the ladies that is on the site that if you paint your ceilings with like a light blue or pale yellow it will not only make your ceilings seem higher but will make the room seem to be lighter.

Yep. Light colour makes a space larger. Black makes a space small. I am redoing my house. I applied white wall paper over dark paneling and use mirrors on my walls to make it even bigger. Between the white walls, mirrors and thousands of lil white lights, at certain angles the room seems infinite.

No mirrors on the ceiling ya perve.

(I had one fall on me in the middle of the night a few years back)

Besides...just sitting on my bed I can see a couple hundred of me. I have 10 big mirrors on the walls of my bedroom. Makes the room seem huge.

So, I'm big on home repair/improvement and I'm learning alot. Being a single lady tends to do that to ya. Anyway, let's talk sinks. Mine was leaking, found the leak (trial and error), replaced the connectors, resealed the drain (plumbers putty is actually fun), taped the threads, reconnected and tightened the nut and voila, no more leaky sink. But I digress. This got me thinking about a slow draining sink upstairs and I wanted to put draino in it but wasn't sure it would go down the drain with that little sliver stoppy thingy in it so I pulled to see if it would come out.

Oh it came out all right and what was all over it was DISGUSTING. Gunk, mold, etc. So, wire hanger equals snake and what I pulled out of there was even more disgusting. As Chrissy the tool chick, I recommend snaking all your drains, using draino and a good hot rinse to ensure proper drainage.

Anyone else want to share their home improvement tips?bigsmile

to save your self money on drano, heat water and vinegar poor baking soda down the drain then pour heat vinegar and water over baking soda for drain cleaning.

be careful with this though, can make a quite noxious gas and damage the membranes in your lungs if you inhale too much of it
