We own a 4 bedroom house in a middle class neighborhood. How much should we charge for rent?

Q. The home is 4 bedroom. It has an inground pool. It is in a middle class neighborhood. The basement is full exposure and remodeled. It is 3200 square feet. We live in Janesville, Wisconsin (southern Wisconsin). What should approximate rental be? It is about 35 years old, but updated. Please only answer if you are very knowledgable about this. Thanks.

A. What you have does NOT matter. What do other 4 bedroom rentals charge. You charge the current market rate

What color should I paint my bedroom to compliment whitewashed furniture?
Q. My bedroom set is whitewash in color...like a very light tan, but whitewashed. Unfortunately my walls are a very light brown. To make matters worse I have a tiled floor and the tiles are almost the same color as the furniture. I have to contrast anywhere and the room is VERY boring. I have no idea what wall color would go well with the furniture. Can you please help me?

A. Check out "tempo teal" on bedroom #3 in this link.

Just click on "paint an interior," then "bedrooms." Then you can type "tempo teal" in the search field, or just start trying on colors. It's fun.

How do you unlock a bedroom door from the outside?
Q. I accidentally locked my bedroom door from the inside. It is one of those doorknobs with the little hole in the middle and the lock on the other side that you push to lock and turn the handle to release. I've tried using wire hangers, and it hasn't worked. Please help.

A. It depends upon the type of lock that is on the door. If it is a passage lock that is commonly used for a bedroom door then a thin screwdriver inserted in the center hole will engage a slot and you will be able turn it 90 deg to unlock the door.

If it is a keyed entry set like an exterior door then there are several possibilities. If the hinges are on your side slide the center pin out and open the door from the hinge side. If not then you might be able to "card" the door if the lock is of inferior quality. If it is of better quality and installed correctly then see the next:

If it is a dead bolt then you will have to break the door, drill out the lock, find the key, or call a locksmith.
