He’s my 9 month old mini-lop bun Sooo sweet, smart and adorable. He uses his litterbox 100% of the time now, never an accident (knock on wood). He is best buds with both of my cats, he acts just like the cats lol. He has learned that chewing on certain things like the carpeting or couch are bad, and he automatically goes to chew on his toys only now (again, knock on wood!)… He has a 2-compartment dish with pellets on one side and hay on the other. I leave a bunny salad (veggies and tiny bit of fruit) in a dish for him every morning and hide little treats around here for him to find thoughout the day while I am working. So I have noticed that he rarely goes in his cage. He goes in there once in a while but I am thinking he wouldn’t care if there was no cage. But a bunny with no cage just sounds so wrong lol…But he’s to a point where he sleeps at the foot of my bed with both cats, he also climbs into the cat tree with my cats sometimes and sleeps there. But do you think he would feel homeless if I take away his cage? I hate having this big cage in my living room but I don’t wanna take away his home either.

I told my parents that our living room needs work and they said they knew but they didn’t know what to do with it and I told them I’d help them. I don’t think they think I’m going to take it seriously, but I am.

Right now our living room has:

but without the left extended piece and it’s more of a gray color
dark wood paneling (ugly as ever)
and built in shelves that’s about the size of a window that matches the paneling (yuck)

Can/how do you strip the paneling, if you don’t know what’s under it? No professinal help, all Do It Yourself

and how much would it cost/ how would you replace that fireplace with it then looking like this?

could you just put the stones over it and then use cement/dry wall/ stone glue to attach it?

The trim in my Cape Cod house’s living room is three different stain shades, one for bay window, another for fireplace and another for door, and ceiling/floor trim. The windows are stained wooden frame. Can I paint the trim without painting the window casings? Do I have to paint the trim on the rest of the first floor (bedrooms)? Bathroom trim is already painted. Upstairs MBR trim is painted (but not window casings). I want to sell the house. Should I just leave the stain shades alone? The fireplace was just paint-stripped and refinished and is beautiful–it just doesn’t match the other trim. Can I paint other trim and leave fireplace?

Any advice?
Thanks!

We have 26 ft ceilings in our living room and I have been struggling to find just the right thing to go over the fireplace. The mount would need to be life size, but definitely fake. Something artistic, not deadly:)

I have been pre-approved after we found a house that we fell in love with. (we were not shopping, just came upon it and decided lets try). the house is built in 1946, single storey, 1 bath, 2 bedrooms, living room with fire place, kitchen with cabinets, electric stove, dishwasher, no refrigerator, with a small window to living room and door to back yard, dining area is medium size about (10 by 10 feet or less) and opens into a washer dryer room (neither is present). back yard is large and drops off steeply into the river. A shed is out in the back yard. Finally the garage has been converted into a room so there is no garage. I can describe much more in detail but for now 2009 Dallas county appraisal puts house about 000 less than what the seller is asking for. Neighborhood is very small (about 4 streets) historical district, surrounded by some very low income and perhaps even higher crime neighborhood. But these streets have houses ranging from about 80 k to 220 k.

Q: how do i determine a reasonable price to quote, whne I expect there is some work to be done on this house when I move in?
Thanks. I am not asking you for a number that I can quote, but for ideas on how I can make a good quote. How badly I want a house: not very; how badly we want this house: we like this very much; But we do not want to cheat ourselves.

Neighborhood is very small (4 streets for house sale comparisons only). so one bad sale can depress property value easily but a very good sale can pull up values in the neighborhood too.

In my living room I have a brick fire place. When I install the wood floor I wood like it to appear as if the floor was installed first and then the brick fireplace on top of it. How do I cut the brick to slide the wood planks into the brick to achieve the look I want? What tool would be needed?

I picked up my two 7 week old kittens on Friday night and one is using the litter tray with no problems an no accidents where as the other one is very hit and miss. Sometimes he uses the tray and sometimes doesnt.
Twice he has done a wee in our bedroom which is quite far away from the litter tray located in the living room so i will try and confine him to a smaller area for the next few days. But he has had two very runny poos down the side on the sofa only metres away from the tray. This morning there was a very small amount of blood in the wee next to the poo. Is this normal? I think not? Any advice?
I am feeding him the same food as the previous owner did. Given them water to drink and using wood pellet cat litter although think i may change tot he clumping one

trying to finish drywalling my living room. I’m left with the spot above the fireplace, trying to cover the concrete/chimney areas. I cant see adding the depth of wood strips, it’s flush with the stud walls… the 5/8 rock is largely attached to studs, sort of "hanging" over the concrete. this is just for small, 2′x3′ areas. I would just like to attach it to the chimney a little bit. can i use special screws? do I need pilot holes? construction adhesive? I hope that didnt sound confusing. the rock has to be flush with the concrete. If youre wondering what was there before, it was old horsehair plaster over the whole wall. thank you.
