I live in a 2 bedroom apartment, and I have two dogs, one is 7 months old, the other is 9 months. THe 7 month old puppy is chewing up my deck. I was leaving them in their crates during the day, to crate train them. But they are getting to big for their crates, and we have a huge deck, so I thought I could leave them out on the deck. We recently laid down low grade outdoor carpet, bc she was chewing up the wood on the deck, and we thought she wouldn’t be able to chew up the carpet, but I was wrong, after less than a few hours out their, she chewed a whole in the carpet. What can i do to stop them from chewing, bc I want to be able to leave them on the deck.

Alright.. where to begin? I live in a two bedroom apartment in florida with 2 other people.. each of us had a cat. Originally it was just the two kittens (who are now four months old) but then my other room mate brought home her mother’s cat when she moved. A few weeks later we started noticing fleas. So the kittens were dewormed and I bought a flea treatment for the kittens.. A month later now though, they have tapeworms again. I called the vet yesterday to talk about getting a shot for treatment but she informed me that it’s pretty useless before dealing with the fleas. I purchased a spray for the carpeting, furniture and baseboards of the walls..manages to apply it yesterday in the living room at least for the first time.. and vacuumed and disposed of the contents out in the dumpster in a sealed bag.. changed the litter boxes and wiped them out before refilling.. Here’s the real issue though.. my room mate (with the 3rd cat) is a horrible pet owner, really.. She barely pays any attention at all to her cat, and even though she has fleas.. has not brought her to the vet, combed her, or bathed her.. she rarely changes the litter box (I have to do it for her) .. and the damn cat isn;t fixed.. it’s a girl.. and mine are two boys 4months old.. Let’s make matters even more complicated still, she’s invited a friend of hers to stay with us for a few days now, with NO warning whatsoever.. not like I had an option to say no without being a total dick since he was already here with all his luggage and such. There just could not possible be a worse time for her to do this, really.. he seems like a polite person, but since he’s in the living room now.. I don’t know how I’m going to even begin to deal with the fleas.. The spray I have is toxic to inhale.. or absorb through skin or membranes.. so I have to lock the cats in the bedrooms to apply it in the living room.. and be sure to open the windows (we are on the second floor) to air out the apartment while it dries.. I don’t want to put off treating them any longer than I have to, since the worms in the kittens stools are about an inch.. inch and a half long! Gross, I know.. and I feel horrible about it, I really do. I want to give them a bath with flea shampoo I had purchased.. I may still do that anyway tonight.. and then apply the advantix (I think that is the brand) I got from the vet. It seemed to rid them of fleas for about 3 and a half weeks.. before I noticed them scratching again. I’m just really aggrevated.. I want so badly for her to be out of the apartment, or at the very least to be rid of her annoying, neglected siamese cat. Someone like her should not have a pet in my opinion.. there are many days she forgets to even feed her.. and so I do that too.. along with picking up after her hairballs, and cleaning the waste she leaves behind when she poos outside her box on the kitchen floor! I spend so much time catering after her animal.. and she KNOWS we have a flea problem, but she invites company over without even asking first. I don’t know if maybe I’m over-reacting.. but I don’t think I am.. I didn’t get the chance to tell her about the worms yet, I just noticed them yesterday morning.. I guess I’ll just text her that info. What should I do? I’m overwhelmed.. If I give them a bath with the flea treatment and then apply the advantix later after they have dried will it work okay? Or should I wait to do the shampoo and just apply the liquid treatment to the back of the necks on the skin? I need to at leats get them off of them so I can take them to the vet.. I don’t want to wait! But with the company here, I feel I have no option.
I just want to know if I’m going about handling this the right way.. or if there is something more I can do.. and if I should take the house guest into account here.

Usually no one comes to visit me, and when I rarely do have company, it’s just one person. I’m moving into an apartment by myself. I feel that I should invest into a nicer dining room set one day when I get married and move into a house with a dining room. I have a small dining room, the kind you typically have in a 2 bedroom apartment. If more than one person comes, we’ll just have to eat in the living room or something. Does it make sense to you for me to just have the bar table and 2 barstools or should I buy a cheaper set with 4 chairs?

How much do you think it would cost to move from West Virginia to Lousiana? I don’t mind using Uhaul or something similar. I have a one bedroom apartment, and I don’t have a lot of furniture, just a dresser, bed, book shelf, night stand, tv console (that is small) and vanity. Oh and four chairs and a very small kitchen table.
I don’t want to sell my stuff I have nice furniture from Bombay that I bought a couple of months ago.

Hello. I am moving into a 3 bedroom apartment and was thinking how to set it up. For the twins will have a bed room each and i decided pink on 2 walls and purple on 2 walls. So, i was thinking of having cream, red and white or white for my walls what do you think?
Also, for downstairs, do you think cream is too much?
And for the dining room i am thinking of having a large circle oak dining table, and a computer. also the pets the hamster and bird will be in there. The dog will be allover (downstairs) and the fish in the living room. Is this a good plan?
For the living room. We will have the television the sofa, 2 arm chairs, cabinet and a big circle fish tank (home made). Do you think this is too much?
For the kitchen, all the kitchen supplies, a breakfast bar and chairs. Do you think this will look over the top?
For the bathroom (upstairs). a small Jacuzzi. a sink, toilet, shower and all the little bits. Do you think this will look ok?
For the down stairs toilet, a toilet and sink and all the little bits.
But at the end do you think my house will look ok?
Thank you for your time

I just moved into a 4 bedroom apartment at college with 3 other friends. We need some help decorating our living room and kitchen.
The kitchen has space on top of the cabinets we want to decorate and a wall as you come into the apartment, about 5 feet long.
The living room has a huge window on the back wall and then two long walls, one with the couch and the other with the tv. The dining table is off to the side near the tv. There is a chair in front of the window.
We cannot paint. And we cannot put large nails in the walls (small ones and pushpins are fine, and command strips are okay). We want something fun but not tacky. We are on a low budget as well, but if its nice we are willing to spend a little bit more. We don’t need to rearrange the furniture either.
Please give us some suggestions, like a theme or something and then what we could do with it.

I want to re do my 2 bedroom apartment. It is only my son and I who live there. Its quite large and has a lounge, dining room, 2 rooms, 1 bathroom and a kitchen.
I always have a lot of papers, cds, dvd’s and books laying around, and it tends to get messy quickly. I want to save more time, keep the place tidy and be more efficient. Any tips on what type of furniture to get, or anything else?
Thanks in advance!

Well my boyfriend visits me once a month and always spends the weekend. Naturally, we get "intimate" with each other while he is here. I live in a 4 bedroom apartment and we all have our own rooms (2 on each side of the place). I try my absolute hardest to be as quiet as possible when they are home because I know that it would be both awkward for me and them. I turn on the tv pretty loud and we try so hard to make sure the bed doesn’t make noises. The roommate that lives on the same side as me does not like me whatsoever. I have tried so hard to act nicely towards her, but she has an angry temper and has even knocked over the barstools in her anger. I do my best to tell her days beforehand when my boyfriend plans on visiting, but she still has a problem that he comes. (I pay the same rent she does and we either stay locked in my bedroom or go out). We try our best to stay out of sight. I am always nervous because she has my moms cell number.. I dont know how to handle this. Any advice?
Naturally my parents do not know that he comes to see me. Yes, we are old enough to be responsible for our own sex lives (so please, I would appreciate it if you didn’t submit answers telling me how horrible I am because we aren’t married. I am not looking for your religious insight.) Point is, we are old enough; however, my parents do not know that he comes to visit me, or that we are intimate with eachother. Which is why I am nervous that my soon to be ex-roommate has saved my moms number this whole year. Also, I am moving out and I would like for her to delete my moms number, as she should no longer need it. She is the kind of person who, months from now, even though we no longer live together, would call my mom out of spite and spill the beans about me and my bf. In addition to my previous question, any advice about how to ask her to delete my moms number would be greatly appreciated! Thanks =]

I just bought a beautiful victorian style sofa, but I also need bar stools. I’m in a one bedroom apartment and have used the dining area as an office area, so I want to put two bar stools at the pass thru to the kitchen. The only problem is that this is directly behind the sofa. I really would like something comfortable – a broad seat with a back. Please send your ideas – links to pictures or places I could purchase are most welcomed! (I’m in TX)
