Quiet As A Mouse

You just finished moving into the quaint old house of your dreams. You've been unpacking and cleaning all day and you are exhausted. Falling into bed and trying to sleep is impossible. You keep hearing this scratching noise. You get up to investigate, but don't find anything. You get back in bed and just when you are dozing off into a peaceful slumber, there it is again! This time you mean business! You start digging through your cabinets looking for anything that will stop the critter in it's tracks, but as luck would have it, that's one thing you didn't pack. The only thing you can do to drown out the noise is turn the TV on and hope you can sleep. The first thing on your list the next morning is "pest control"! Instead of paying a professional to do the job, you get on the internet and look up your favorite website, Hipps Help, and find that there are many ways to just do it yourself. Take a look at the link below to see what you can do to rid your home of pests yourself!

Turn Something Old Into Something New

Have you ever wanted a part of your house or something in your house to have character and not just be a cookie cutter perfect house? Sometimes it is fun and looks really decorative to turn something that may be a piece that you bought in an antique store or something that has been in the family for many years into a new purposeful item in your newer house. You can do this in your kitchen by turning older kitchen cabinets into a kitchen island. It has many advantages. Besides creating extra cabinet space and work space, it can be a conversation piece and a way to keep something that you might want to replace, but not totally get rid of. With as little time as just a weekend, you can do this yourself. Take a look at the link below to see what materials you will need and how to do it.
