is unglazed tile crazy??


i am thinking of laying unglazed hexagon tile on our bathroom floor–i like the quiet, un-shiny look.
but: what kind of maintenance does this require? will it need to be continually resealed? will i be sorry?
thank you.

re-tiling a bathroom floor


we want to re-tile our bathroom floor; nothing wrong with it, we just don’t like the color.
question: do we need a plumber to take out the toilet and sink first? or can we keep the toilet and sink in place, and have the new tile just surround what’s there? thank you.

is it mold??? arghhh!


we suddenly noticed a bunch of black spots on the ceiling (which is quite high) of one our bathrooms. the ceiling is painted; the rest of the bathroom is tiled, and in great shape.
are these black spots mold?? if so, how does one remove them and keep them from spreading?

REMOVING AN OLD RADIATOR–??


we are thinking of removing an old, non-functioning radiator in our bedroom, since the other one works fine and we could use the extra space.

is there any reason *not* to do this? and: what kind of person would do this kind of job: a plumber, or. . . ??
thank you.

screen doors to garden??


we have beautiful steel french doors that look out from our kitchen to the garden (on the garden level). but if we leave the doors open while we’re in the kitchen, we are swamped with mosquitos. anyone know of someone who could build us a set of screen doors? it’s somewhat complicated, because there are no door hinges there now. thank you!
