What is the best color to paint a room with no windows?

Light pastel colours work best in small spaces without natural light. In a personal space, use a colour that makes you feel comfortable. In an office try something on the warm side of neutral, perhaps a soft buttery yellow, or barely there salmon-pink. Remember that blues, greens and greys tend to be cooler colours, whereas pinks, yellows and tans tend to be warm. If the room is below grade (basement) you may want to lean toward a warmer colour.

How do you measure a room to find out what the square footage it is?

Assume/ing the room is rectangular, measure the length along one wall in feet and the length along another wall that meets it, also in feet, and then multiply the two measured lengths together.

If you have an odd shaped room, for example it may be L shaped, split the room up into rectangles, measure and calculate the area of each rectangle, and the area of the whole room is the sum of the areas of the rectangles:

.............................................

...------................-----.........

...|.......|................|.....|........

...|.......|................|..A.|........

...|.......|.......-->...|......|........

...|.......----...........|--------...

...|............|...........|...........|...

...|............|...........|....B.....|...

...|............|...........|...........|...

...---------............---------...

Area of the L shape[d room] on the left is the sum of the areas of the rectangles A & B on the right.

If you are looking to buy carpet, it is normally sold in rolls of nominal width 13'2" (4m) or 16'5" (5m) and you have to buy in lengths of the full width of the roll.

A 4m wide roll at 5.99 a sq m equates to 4 x 5.99 = 23.96 per metre of length.

So if your room is 8' x 12', the minimum you would need is 8' (about 2.5m) from a 13'2" (4m) roll which would cost 2.5 x 23.96 = 59.90 (from the above carpet).

Can you paint or wallpaper your room?

Sure, you can paint or wallpaper your room, providing you are the owner. However, if you are renting, or, say, a student in a dorm, you will have to check with the landlord to see if it is alright to paint or wallpaper. Landlords frequently object to ordinary wallpaper usage because it is difficult to remove and that task falls to the landlord when the renter moves! However, there is a repositionable, removeable and reusable wallcovering available which will not leave a residue on properly primed walls when removed. In essence, it provides "slipcovers" for your walls. The advantage for renters is that you can take it with you when you move and use in your next location. For homeowners, you don't have the mess of wallpaper paste or the extra cost of hiring an installer if you don't feel confident to install it yourself. The repositionable, removable and reusable product can easily be installed by one person and there are videos on the web site to illustrate installation.

What is Throat Paint?

PAINT:

Paints are liquids for application to the skin or mucous membranes. Skin paints often have a volatile solvent that evaporates quickly to leave a dry resinous film of medicament.

THROAT PAINT:

Throat paints are more viscous due to a high content of glycerol, designed to prolong contact of the medicament with the affected site.

There is abundant clinical evidence to show painting the external throat with iodine can reduce pain of the throat, may curb and even eliminate throat infections, boosts overall immune function and helps with conditions such as tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis and more. Of course, the action of this solution in the case of throat infections has been observed to be much greater when the solution is painted internally on throat tissue. If considering this application, you would need to be sure you were using an appropriate formulation so as to not poison yourself! You can ask a pharmacist to help you find the proper solution

According to the Merck manual, chronic toxicity may develop when intake is greater than 1.1 mg/day. Also, a precaution exists for people who may have an allergy to iodine. A simple test is to spread a very small amount on the skin of your inner thigh and watch for small blisters to appear within a few hours. If blisters do appear, you may be allergic to or have an allergic reaction to Iodine solutions.

What color sponge paint goes with dark blue?

Any color will go with dark blue so the answer depends on what look you are trying to achieve. Look at the color wheel in the link for ideas.

An Analogous Color Scheme would use colors right next to blue on the color wheel for a look that blends. You will get a subtle effect by using colors that are just a few shades from the base color.

Any other color scheme will give a much more pronounced effect, so proceed carefully. If you have leftover base paint, try doing a practice board to see if you like the effect.

How do you use an aluminum extension ladder?

Before use, perform a thorough inspection and look for damage, bent rungs, grease on tread, defective feet, etc. Follow the labels on the ladder and the owner's manual. If you don't have the manual you can download a copy from the manufacturer's website.

When you set the ladder, keep clear of electrical lines, Lean the ladder against the structure at a 4:1 (with your toes at the base of the ladder, your fingertips should touch the ladder with your arms extended).

Check that the surface is firm and level. If the ground is soft, you can lay down a plywood square so the ladder won't sink.

Check that the ladder won't kick out. If you are on hard pavement, ensure that the feet have the rubber tread down. Some ladders have "claws" on the feet that can be flipped to bite into the dirt.

Extend the ladder so that it is between 3 and 4 feet above the top of the structure if you need to step off the ladder onto a roof. Secure the top of the ladder to the structure with a rope, strap or chain so the top won't slide.

Maintain 3 points of contact while you climb. Always climb facing the ladder.

Don't overload the ladder. Add your weight and what you are carrying up the ladder. Never put 2 people on the ladder at the same time.

What WALL paint colors go with cherry wood cabinets?

Cherry wood cabinets give you a lot of room for choices. Because cherry wood has such depth and presence it can stand up to a dark or intense colour should you choose one. Hunter green, royal blue, wine red, or even mustard yellow would all look good with cherry.
If colours that intense are not to your taste, then a medium or pastel shade of one of them would be fine. I like greens with cherry, but find the colour hard to live with so I personally would use a grey-blue (for a light colour) or the royal for drama.
If the cabinets are in a kitchen, and the room is quite open and airy, you could choose any of the colours depending on your taste.
If the cabinets are in a dining room, library or study, then a dark colour will lend drama or cosiness to the room.
If the cabinets are in a bathroom, then you have a chance to "go wild." Few people spend much time in a bathroom, so even if you do not have the inclination to use a deep saturated colour anywhere else in your home, you can certainly try one here.
