DIY Chevron Rug

One of my favorite parts of my most recent project has to be the rug I made. From the very beginning of the project I kept talking about how I was going to make the rug, blah, blah, blah then the time came to actually make it and I freaked out a bit, but in the end it really was super easy. Here it is in all it’s glory: You will need the following supplies: - 2 yards of fabric. - One 6 x 9 dropcloth. -5 x 8 Rug Gripper that I found a couple rows down at Lowes. -Aleene's Tacky Spray Glue Before you do anything make sure that your fabric and drop cloth is wrinkle free. I started this project a million different ways and kept having bunching as I was trying to attach all the layers, but I finally found a great solution. Find a piece of free flooring in your home and start layering your pieces. I laid down my rug gripper first and smoothed it out, then the drop cloth and smoothed it out and finally my fabric right side up and smoothed it out. Then sprayed my drop cloth with Tacky Glue Spray.

Tiny Yellow Teardrop Wants to finish the basement, but do recurring bugs indicate a problem? Q. I live in a 14 year old townhouse and plan at some point to finish my basement for some added space. A problem that has persisted since I moved in (I'm the original owner) is this: bugs in the basement. There is an assortment - roly-poly bugs, and centipede type bugs, about 1 inch long with fuzzy exterior (like a caterpillar might have). They are not just in one spot - though they do seem to cluster in certain areas. I worry about finishing my basement, thinking the bugs will still enter but be trapped in the walls/flooring and cause odors and proliferation. A. But back to your sow bug problem for a moment. So, to get rid of the insects (and crustaceans) you'll first need to dry up the basement and remove their food source. Seek out any holes, gaps, or fissures between the inside of the house and the outside.
