Does it barely feel cool in your house and you constantly doubt that that air conditioner is even on, even though it always running and hiking up your electricity bills? It's time to make a change so you can be comfortable and cut utility costs at the same time. Ditching your old central air conditioning unit and getting a new model, and making changes around the home, can make a big difference.

Make a rug to cover a section of flooring in your child's playroom with the following steps. Carpet squares that match the colors of the decor that is in the room can be lined up to form a checkerboard or different pattern to enhance the room. Once you have finished the project, place a rug pad under the rug so that it doesn't shift on the floor while your child is sitting on it while they play with their toys.

Whether you have solid hardwood floors, or a laminate hardwood floor, there are a few special precautions you need to take to keep it looking good for many years. Wood is soft, porous, and susceptible to sun damage. While you can sand and refinish solid hardwood floors until there is no flooring left, you can only do it a few times to a laminate floor. However, the more you do this to a solid floor, the less stable and strong the wood becomes - you may end up with your sofa breaking the wood and sitting on the subfloor.
