Hi gang,
I know you can not use water base paint over oil base
paint. Is there something I can do, or use, short of removing
the oil base paint so I can do this? We aren't positive the
paint we are covering is oil base, but with our luck, it is. Any
suggestions?
Thanks,

Hi Brice,
Cork floor is made from high density cork. It's cut very
thin, and comes in different size squares, just like vinyl
flooring. It is usually about 1/8 th inch thick. I think one of
the big selling points for it is how warm it is on the feet.
Boop
Never heard of a cork floor
for cork flooring is a little different than other
flooring, but it sure is warmer on the feet than other flooring.
We didn't buy cork flooring to replace what we have, but that is
because we got a good deal on some Pergo flooring.
Hope this is helpful.

Will this mixture kill poison ivy? We

eventually. I'm not sure if it is safe around

To get rid of those bees simply take a pail and a
quart of mountain Dew, be sure it's the kind with
sugar in it. Pour the Mountain Dew
as the bees stay out of the yard
and house area, we leave them alone. It seems to
be a bad year for bees this year. If this
continues, we may have to look into getting
someone in to spray for them.
Thanks again for all your ideas gang.
