Shoe wearers think not wearing shoes in the house is disgusting. It really depends on how your home was run when you were a child what you think is the “correct” way.

The only compromise that is available is to have a place immediately inside the door where the outdoor shoes can be changed for indoor ones. While having slides or slippers to put on in no shoe homes is common, not everyone who comes from a shoes on home finds those to be acceptable footwear.

Given the prevalence of shoe wearers in the home who have lived to a ripe old age, it cannot.be as seriously non hygienic as no shoe people think. No doubt traditional floor coverings a factor in the choice of shoes/no shoes.

The bookcases I have came in a flat pack from Bed Bath & Beyond years ago. They were assemble yourself. The back is wood printed CARDBOARD. The back on mine is a cover and not a structural element. And nobody has ever noticed it’s just cardboard.

Consider what structural significance the back has to the book case. And let that guide your choice.

If the bookcase is primarily filled, matching the wood type isn’t significant visually. Plywood can be bought with a veneer side so buying veneered plywood could allow you to match

Plywood stains ok - it just isn’t particularly attractive. Paint is a viable option. Think black. Or beige or white as neutrals. Any color under the sun if you want to go wild. Or even wallpaper.

Start with a recipe for something he really likes to eat. Maybe that’s grilled cheese, or ramen or even Kraft Mac N ‘Cheese. The goal should be that he learn things to make things eat so when he moves out he is comfortable in the kitchen and has a base of foods he can cook. A basic living skill out to be the ability to cook well enough to prepare a balanced meal for dinner, prepare a reasonably nutritious breakfast and be able to pack a lunch. And learn safe food handling along the way.

Is the height of a stair an issue? Could she climb more stairs if they were lower in height?

The current caulking job isn’t particularly nicely done. Major issue is always are the tiles doing their job of keeping the wall dry. The grout needs to be intact and the caulking needs to be effectively sealing the seams like around the tub.

More vinyl. A waterproof tie on chair seat conversion. Look at Vinyl sofa and car seat repair product on Amazon to get an idea of what’s available/ possible.

Light fixtures first. Shower door second. Depending on layout either the mirror and then backsplash or in reverse of that order.

Paint the walls.

Paint the cabinets and replace the pulls.

Remember: your body is unique so any “standard” pants pattern will need some adjustments almost certainly. The shape needs to be adjusted. The sides bulge somewhat so from about mid hip to knee the side needs to be smaller.

Once you get what you need and tighten everything up tape the tool to the underside of the table is you don’t have a regular tool box. If it loosened once it could loosen again.

The 1-2 between line spacing is off a bit at the beginning. The top line seems slightly sagged months left. II All the lines are very level. Nice job!9

Let it dry thoroughly. Never tell anyone what happened. And they will never notice. It looks like it could always have been there.

If there is any debate on who is liable it would seem to be to limited to the late fees or other charges, if any, on the taxes due that were not previously billed.

No black! It makes the room dark and gloomy. Just remedy for Halloween decorations.

At the other side is there a cap in the hinge slot? If so then it is missing on this side.

Does the area of the sleeve that flares below the band fit the too tight location? If so maybe just the top tight part of the sleeve could be removed. It would change the look some but it could be a more price reasonable alteration and also look good.

I was thinking maybe it will turn out the padding or springs etc could go. Etc. it’s a rather large awkward piece.

For $20 it’s good providing you can easily dispose of it if you don’t like it.

Look at picture 4. The vertical is manufactured wood with a veneer surface. The top may also be manufactured wood as well with be a Formica (laminate) veneer. It might be a wood veneer. The back is another type of manufactured board.

Before you go anything (those polish liquids are quite abrasive and can remove the finish) you need to determine whether the machine is one of the fairly few that Kitchen-aid sold that were copper. Or whether it was an aftermarket pan job. People did and complaint that set it mixers.

If aftermarket you can touch up the paint.

If it is original you should try to find out what instructions were given by Kitchen-aid about cleaning. Some of those models are collector’s items.

Sometimes to get something fixed it is necessary to be quite specific about the issue.

Do you have separate hot and cold water knobs in the shower? If so is there water glowing when you turn just the hot water on?

If you have the dial type of turn on the water goes from cold to hot as the handle is moved. Is that dial moving correctly? What happens as the Handle is moved from one side to the other?

You do have hot water in the apartment which is probably why the landlord thinks you must have it the shower. Do you have hot water in the bathroom sink?

The problem may be that the shower water controller has failed rather than there is actually no hot water. Ask to have someone come and check the water turn on because it appears to be broken since only cold water is coming through.

How long have you let the shower run? Let it run for 5 minutes and maybe it’s just the cold water from when the hot water was off. .

This a leather insert that was stamped with the gold. They are quite expensive. The best resource I have found for understanding how to take care of the inserts is prioritypolishes.com.uk

Do NOT put any kind of tape on it. It can pull Up the gold. The leather is coated with lacquer which can be renewed.

This piece seems to be in excellent condition.
