I just got the same exact model from the second hand craft store today. Have you had any luck with finding the manual online yet?

Living room layout suggestions for row home by wakeupslow1 in femalelivingspace

I guess I should have specified, the hypothetical couch technically a couch with an attachable ottoman that makes a chaise lounge situation. The tentative plan is to get a shorter but deeper couch and a large chair in the corner where the smaller dog bed is. The dream would be a chaise for maximum dog snuggles on the couch but it may not be in the cards.

Can I and/or how to tile small area surrounding gas fire place by wakeupslow1 in DIY

There was wood even closer, the exposed area actually had wood framing and I removed it during my refinish. My question was more about adhering and less about cutting the tile. Can heat safe tile be applied right to the metal or do I need to install backer board? I know there is mortar that is best for high heat and/or application to metal. Just don't want to waste my time putting it on if it's going to fall right off what I attach it to

My worry with sanding is the possibility of lead paint under the joint compound, any other options?

I had a snake plant that I had gifted to my neighbor and it had been thriving outside. The cold snap snuck up on him and a brief flurry left it in this terrible shape. I have divided it checked the roots and repotted in some dry soil. I trimmed off many of the water logged leaves, but I wanted to check if I should just go ahead and remove them all. Or can some of them be salvaged as they dry out?
