Need help fast - which finish for a white powder room sink?
Comments (7)I know it doesn't give you an answer, but either will look fine with what you've chosen. It all comes down to personal preference. Think about what coordinating items you want that will go with it. I wouldn't want one of the finishes on the faucets and the other on sconces, for instance. I actually think with the rustic floor, if your faucets were satin nickel and if you chose not to do satin nickel on your sconces as well, you could do a black or oil rubbed bronze finish on your sconces if you wanted. There are pics. in some of the bathrooms here that have done that and it looks great....See MoreNoise from neighbors coming through PTACs - please help!!!
Comments (12)Energy_rater_la & klem1 - thanks to both of you again for your advice. Klem1 - do you have a suggestion for a sound deadening material to put on the walls? And would this material work for floors, too? I spoke to the building contractors who built out the apartments and they swear the walls can't be the problem in the bedroom (where the noise is the worst) because there are no walls with pipes in this room. The bathroom is right next to the bedroom and the bathroom wall with pipes is adjacent/continuous with the bedroom wall where I could make out the voices by putting my ear to it, but THAT bedroom wall is actually a masonry wall! The sound isn't just coming from the bathroom because closing the bathroom door doesn't lessen the sound any. The contractors say maybe the sound is coming through the floors, which are hollow cement. I guess it's possible, but it's hard for me to believe that normal volume voices can travel that much through cement/cork/flooring. I am thinking of hanging the sound-deadening material on different walls and the floor to see if I can locate the source. We haven't put rugs down yet, so if the floors are the problem, maybe it's as simple a solution as this (I really hope so)....See MoreWhite powder at bottom of pool
Comments (5)What is the white powder? Plaster dust falling off the walls? Is it a plaster/gunite pool? You need to do all the basic water tests for you pool using calcium hardness, pH and total alkalinity and post the results. I have a bunch of dust in my pool today...its sand from the landscaping because the wind is blowing at over 40 mph sustained. Its like a hurricane out there....See MoreBugs Coming Through Exterior Wall...?
Comments (4)I sprayed bee killer into a hole in the wood trim outside and I'm still finding dead bees falling out of it (they are bigger kind that drill into wood). Do you think I made some bees go inward when I sprayed that hole outside?...See Morevinmarks
