A. A quick fix is wood putty and sand paper, then use an Old English that matches the wood.
Can anyone estimate how much it costs to finish an attic? About 1200 sq ft.?
Q. The attic is unfinished, not fully insulated, unwired, unventilated... but quite large - with floor finished covered. A couple of windows, maybe 8 feet in the center, but fairly steep roof with rafters. Decent staircase up - but would also need a spiral or other additional staircase. Bathroom upstairs would be bonus, but not required. Any estimates? Anyone have anything similar done?
A. with wiring, insulating, ventilation, finishing windows and trim, hanging sheetrock and finishing drywall and painting, and carpet you are probably looking at twenty thousand or so.
How can I get paint off of hardwood floors?
Q. We had a friend paint our house and now I have paint specs (like overspray) all over my newly refinished hardwood floors. How can remove the paint withour harming the floors finish?
A. First of all, do not use goof-off on your hardwoods, it will void the warranty and it smells. Secondly, water is the only thing necessary to remove latex based paint. Use a soft cloth and your fingernail. DO NOT use a butter knife or other implement which may scratch the floor. Be sure to dry the floor completely when finished.
