		<description><![CDATA[Posted By: Cheryl Meril   Mouse Outbreak in San Francisco Due to Unusually Cold Weather A poor frightened tiny black mouse entered my flat in San Francisco yesterday. While I was typing away on my computer I happened to see a small black round object from the corner of my eye dart along the wall in a split second nanometer. I would have thought it was just my imagination except for the fact the curtain near the floor was definitely moving back and forth. My initial reaction to having a mouse in my flat was highly irrational fear. I immediately called up my landlady in a panicked distressed tone and asked her if the building had a mice problem. She said another tenant had just found a mouse on her pillow a few days ago who was directly below my unit on the first floor. They did some investigating and the mouse ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Get the results you’re after with these painting prep essentials. By: Sam Gaines Have other painting projects left you frustrated? In the past, did you find that you had to run back to the store for supplies mid-project? Or, did you wind up cleaning paint splatters off the floor? With a little planning, you can take the element of surprise out of your painting project. If you’re going to be painting a room soon, remember the 3 P’s—plan, prepare, paint. A fourth P (patience) can help, too. Planning: Once you’ve picked the perfect color for your painting project, it’s time for the “3 P’s”— planning, preparing and painting, in that order. While this may sound like simple, generic advice, it’s actually essential to any good painting job. A lot of heartache can be avoided while painting if you put enough effort into the first two steps. Planning includes making a ...]]></description>

If so, the biggest question looms large: How much will it cost? We are always curious about kitchen remodel choices and their costs, so we thought we would throw it out to those of our readers who have lived through a kitchen renovation. How much did your kitchen renovation cost, and where did you spend it? According to Today, the average cost for a kitchen remodel is $15,000 to $20,000 — without the appliances. We&#8217;ve read elsewhere that the average kitchen renovation costs $45,000. Of course, costs are often controlled by things like region and city area; a New York City kitchen renovation is probably going to cost far more than one of comparable size in Kansas City. Costs can be driven by location, size of the kitchen, ...]]></description>

Which, duh, I own donkeys. The question kind of answers itself. Especially when I find things these old moonshine jugs in one of my garages and am all, “Hey, I think those will look great in my living room.”   What? I washed them first. And, you know, added a little wiring…   This counts for at least one vote in the non-crazy category, right? Because I have to say, for minimal effort– not including scrubbing years worth of grime off the jugs– these Moonshine Lamps were a pretty quick, easy DIY ...]]></description>

Posted on: 04 June 201, By: Chuck Bennett on Lily Ann’s Cabinets &#8220;When you have finally decided to begin a kitchen remodel there are a few things to take into mind when planning the job. One of the first things to do is make sure you have accurate measurements. Every little bit does come into play.

		<description><![CDATA[Posted on: 07 February 2013, By: Erin J. Hill on wiseGEEK What Is a Written Contract? A written contract generally refers to a written document outlining an agreement between two parties. The parties can be individuals, businesses, or organizations. All factors or portions in the agreement must be included in the agreement, and each party involved has to sign the document in order for it to be considered valid. In many cases, a written contract is typed and submitted by a licensed attorney. This doesn’t have to be the case, as simple contracts can be written by the individuals involved. To ensure their validity, contracts written in this way should be approved by an attorney. Most simple written agreements will hold up in a court of law, but it is a good idea to double check. The purpose of the written contract is generally to ensure that both parties fully ...]]></description>
