If your home was built with plain, uninteresting trim, you can update the entire window at the same time.Just pull off the existing trim and it’s like beginning from scratch with a newly installed window.
This video outlines the full process on a newly installed window.To quickly sharpen your kitchen or crafting scissors, just cut through a piece of sandpaper a few times.An old or slightly used up piece of sandpaper will work just fine, just make sure you wash your scissors with warm, soapy water once you’re done sharpening!For the last six weeks or so, I’ve been touring around with CIL paints and visiting with DIYers at a bunch of different Home Depots to help people get over their “paint paralysis”.You know what I mean: It’s when you’re terrified to start painting a room for fear of picking the wrong colour and having to do everything all over again.
So you just live with a colour you hate instead for years and years.It’s a stealer of joy in the lives of many innocent people for sure.
So first of all, it’s just paint.
If you try something crazy and mess it up, it’s not really that big of a deal to do it over again.Of course, the dog can get a good cleaning and he does, but those baths never seem to stick for more than five minutes, he’s a dog after all.
That’s just how he smells.It seems that Chuck is a little bit of a manly man too, because the idea of doggy cologne just scares him.. I’ve tried a few different things here and there to try and freshen things up, and nothing really seems to do the job quite right.
I’ve done baking soda, and cinnamon, and essential oils on the vacuum filter to try to get a fresh scent going, but no luck with keeping the smell away for any length of time..I read about this somewhere and I gave it a try.
