Is it ok to use a used baby crib mattress?
If you know the house it came from and they were very clean, only one child has used it before and he just moved up to a toddler bed so it wasn’t sitting in storage or anything.
what do you think?

I read that I could put cinder /concrete) blocks under a box spring (bed skirt to cover it obviously) to make it higher and give storage underneath a bed.. after realizing how heavy those are, realized I can’t do that. Also heard of people using crates (the usual kind of crates, at grocers, etc.) to raise it up. I’m wondering if that’d provide enough support for the box spring and mattress? Has anyone tried it.. and lastly, I did get rid of my bed frame since being at the top level (my apt.,) i thought it made too much noise, now the bed is just too low…has anyone heard of having two box springs to raise a bed, and what sort of feel would that give the bed then?? Thanks!
My daughter got a beautiful hand knitted quilt from my aunt when she was a baby I have been cherishing the quilt and now that she is six and with her own bedroom I would love to hang it on the wall. The quilt is knitted and very delicate since it can get torn easily, it is also white and gets dirty very fast, but it is beautiful. I would hate having it in storage for more time. Any ideas?

I’ve had my mattress and other furniture in storage for about 2 years now. Now that I’m ready to get it out, all of my furniture has gathered a lot of dirt and dust and other nasty stuff from being in there for so long. What is the best solution for cleaning these kinds of materials? I saw that shark steam mop, would that work?
i have alot of winnie the pooh classic and non classic bedroom toys blankets nightlights wall tapestries sheets comforters etc. in good to great condition however they take up alot of storage how much would they sell for on e-bay or at a yard sell? They are very expensive when new.
I moved into an older brick bungalow recently. We have just one bathroom, with a south-facing window (original glass) that’s about 2-1/2′ wide by 3-1/2′. The window is above the toilet, which sits right next to the soaking tub. I’ve never attempted to construct anything more complex than a small cardboard box solar cooker, and I don’t have much to spend on this project. But I’d like to try and construct a simple, insulated collector/holding tank in the window, which can extend beyond the window area itself in all directions only a couple of feet. But I do also have a wide linen closet on the other side of the toliet that has extra space for storage, if needed. I just want to heat enough water for daily bathing for a family of three. It could be as rudimentary as something I fill with water from a hose, and then have a way for it to flow down into the tub once heated. Any ideas, or is this something I need a more high-tech solution or more space for?
I was just thinking to stick ‘em in a garbage bag or a big plastic dept. store bag and shove them in the linen closet. Is that bad? What’s the proper way . . . that won’t be too expensive if I need to buy anything for storage? Thanks!
Our new place has lots of closets and storage. We are thinking of not going with the norm of bedroom sets and do something different. Suggestions welcome!
We are also not planning on having a television in the room. Any other ideas?
i’m seeking bolts for a martha stewart everyday mission bungalow bolt set. my landlord illegally came in to my apartment and disposed of every thing he demed nessesary so i need the bolts (i have the futon in storage) does anyone know where i can get them?
My cousin, his wife, and his two children (ten and six) have been staying at my parent’s house (where I live, since I’m 15) since the 31st of July. It is now the 1st of December. It has been four months, and they show no signs of leaving. Let me explain why they are here.
Four months ago they managed to leave Cuba based on political refuge. Our extensive family here decided that we were going to help them (and by help, they mean dump them on us and visit once in a while). Our parents decided that they would house them until they get jobs and can move out. Well, they planned on maybe two months. But first, the work permits took very long. Eventually, about a month ago, they both got jobs. Yet they’re still staying.
Now here’s the situation: I had to give them my room so they could live with us. I agreed because I thought it would be for a couple of months. Both my parents are saying, however, that even after FOUR months, they’re staying for at least two more, making it officially at least half a year. When I gave them my room, I agreed to sleep in the office, which is a small, ten by ten room. There are two large computer desks, a filing cabinet, a night stand, all the movies, a tower, and three computer chairs in that room. I’m sleeping on an air bed. The room, even though I’m sleeping in it, is still being used as an office, meaning there are people in it ALL THE TIME and I don’t have anywhere to go. I have three drawers and half a closet for all my clothes. The closet is brimming with storage things like a piano, another filing cabinet, boardgames, and various other things. The closet is also tiny.
All four of them are sleeping in my room, where more than half of my stuff still is. They have my computer. The youngest one is constantly eating and drinking in there, and we have hardwood floors. In case you didn’t know, food and liquid can permanently damage hardwood floors. He is also constantly throwing things on the floor, leaving dents. Neither of his parents ever discipline him, so he has no respect whatsoever. He will literally yell back and kick and scream and disobey whatever you say. The older one is more calm, but she doesn’t understand the meaning of punishing. Whenever my sister and I try to punish the younger one for being highly disrespectful (using his toy gun to throw bullets at people’s faces, calling everyone fat, stupid monkeys, taking our stuff gleefully, ect.) she immediately comforts him and gives him whatever she wants. I know she’s a good kid at heart, but she doesn’t understand that her brother is literally spoiled rotten to the core. It’s hard to describe his atrocity.
Neither of his parents understand and rarely take action against the kids. They allow them to watch obscene movies and TV shows in front of OUR TV for hours on end. They allow them to use OUR Wii without permission (if it were up to me, which it should be, no six year old would be allowed to USE a Wii), and use all our computers endlessly.
I cannot stand sleeping on an air mattress any longer. I have nowhere to do my homework, there is never peace and quiet, and now I hate being in my house. The parents always comment on everything we do and make us uncomfortable in our own home. And when asked why it appeared that they weren’t looking for an apartment, my cousin said that he was worried that he would be fired and wouldn’t be able to pay for it. To me that sounds like an excuse, because people do that every day.
They are living under our house, using our resources, wasting our water and energy (because they use highly energy-inefficient things like hair dryers daily for thirty minutes each), and live under their OWN rules. Is it right of them to intrude upon this house any longer, or do you think four months of this ungratefulness is enough?
The mattress I own does not have any visual signs of mold or mildew, yet it is really stinky. How can I remove the smell? Also, is it harmful to bring the dry, yet stinky mattress into my home – will the spores be transfer to other surfaces in the home? FYI the home picked up the odor while in storage.
Thanks for your help.
I have had my futon mattress in storage for a while now and need it for school.. however i have no idea how to clean it? do i steam clean it or just go out and buy a new one? However the cover doesn’t come off so that leaves a dilemma.
Where can I get plans for a bunk bed that have stairs instead of a ladder. The kind of stairs that can be used for storage.
That freewww website doesn’t have it
I’m not looking for the bed itself, I need the plans so my husband could build it. Thanks
I purchased the car new and it has 13k original miles. It is flame orange with a tan interior like the sales brochure picture. I have the original Firestone 500 tires (In storage). I have the original Delco Freedom battery, factory build sheet, and all documentation as well as service manuals. It needs a good home with someones collection. It has been garaged and only rained on three times.
