    I avoided Dyson for years because their products are expensive. Recently though, I bought a cordless Dyson stick vacuum because we have pets and our canister vacuum just was too heavy to carry up and down the stairs as we have gotten older. I can’t say enough positive things about the Dyson. It is so good we gave away the canister vacuum. If you need something that Dyson makes give Dyson a try. I think their products are worth the extra expense.

    Hey guys I have a tip. If you do your own home improvements try to get power tools with dust ports so you can hook your shop vac to them. I do this with my miter saw and my sanders it helps a lot.

    When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. "Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations - bound as one, at its very core - will all take place at the same time." "Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out" The Book of Truth.

    My dream Reno is to add another floor above that would also change the ground floor plan somewhat. We dream of a new master suite with extra office space upstairs and an upper deck that would let us enclose our current patio. We would then also have laundry/mud room and a walk-in pantry. My husband would love to build a granny flat over the garage (not used for cars currently) or a freestanding tiny home in the back. This is a very common feature of our neighborhood. We have a lot of backyard space. For smaller things we need roof work in the front, we have water damage of the guest room floor, and the main bathroom has an awful sink that makes puddles and has no counter space. I’d love a redo in that room. First we have to prioritize winning the lottery.

We are thinking really hard about it but are having issues acquiring a reputable contractor.

    I'm not renovating, but if I were in a position where I had to do some, the kitchen would be my first project. I'm a kitchen "junky" and I need lots of cupboards and a large pantry so, if a house didn't provide that, it would have to bring it to my standards. Hope we'll get a walk-through when your reno is complete! 😊

I ask you for I am desperate and maybe you have some ideas for me...I have a new kitchen with a black opaque GRES LAMINAM top...it is so beautiful, but everything you put on leaves a sign (glasses and mugs especially): I have tried first with normal kitchen cleaners (for it was claimed to be super resistant and easy to clean) but then it seemed not right (somewhat less lucent or so..) so I tried to clean only with water, with neutral detergent, but nothing seems to be efficient!! Have you got experience on it? Thank you so much for your help!!

    We've been in the hunt for an air purifier but I've been disappointed in doing my research on how many of them emit harmful ozone. I wonder if Dyson does? We moved into a home with an odor problem in the garage and after doing everything possible (cleaning, priming, painting) we hired a group to come do an ozone treatment. You have to leave the house for 24 hrs! So I was shocked to see some purifiers actually emit ozone constantly. Scary.

    Same issue! I have birds and they put out a lot of microdust but mods sure purifiers have the negative ion ozone stuff listed and it's not healthy for their little lungs. I've never had a Dyson vacuum last long, esp for the price, but I think I would be willing to buy this air purifier since it heats and cools as well. Space heaters and fans etc are a pain to store and this only takes up the space of one unit not 2 or 3!

    If I could do anything to my home, it would be the floors. We currently have the original carpet, our house is almost 10 years old and we have 4 kids. We plan to someday soon put in hardwood floors upstairs and downstairs. I want to redo all the bathrooms and the kitchen flooring as well. The kitchen linoleum looks the worst, it has gouges and holes from the kids dragging chairs back and forth across it and it desperately needs replacing.

    For a small project I'd love to repaint the living room and get a new TV rack. For a huge project, I'd love nothing more than to rip the stupid woodchip wallpaper off the walls and ceilings of our apartment. Unfortunately, it's the standard wallpaper for German rented apartments. It's ugly and sucks the color in when paiting, so you often have to paint twice. It's just a huge hassle.
