• Question:-Where can i find a loft bed to add on to a bunkable twin?
  We have to keep our dorm room beds in our dorm so i cant bring a loft bed from home but i can loft it with a kit that goes under it. I want to be able to put my desk under my bed. Does anyone know where i can find such a kit or plans to make this loft? Keep in mind i CANNOT build a bed. It must be only the support for underneeth.
  
  Answer:-I never saw such bed which can put on another twin bed.
  But this is a creative way to go. you can buy three pieces of loft bed and combine together. maybe that is what you want.
  two pieces put under another one.
  
• Question:-What to do with a loft in a Montessori preschool classroom?
  It is my first year teaching preschool. I have a Montessori 3-5 preschool classroom witha loft that drives me nuts. Right now I have it be a "quiet area" but the kids go up there and do everything but be quiet. They take all the books out. Hide under the table. Stack the bean bags on top of each other. One suggestion I got is turn it into a cultural area. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
  I need an idea that is Montessori based and will give the classroom order and structure.
  
  Answer:-A soft play area, we had loft in the nursery i worked in and it was something the owners looked into. It was going to be too expensive as the floor needed sorting or something. Wouldve been great though. They can run wild and have great fun!

• Question:-How good is the are where The Loft 2 downtown Miami is located?
  My gf and I are planning in moving soon, one of our picks is the Loft II downtown Miami, but we are not so sure about the area.
  
  Answer:-The Loft II is a very good choice and living there is something new couples or would-be couples will surely like. But there are many things that you need to consider in deciding where to really settle and start your new life together.
  
  For one thing, The Loft is simply exorbitant. The price of the unit alone could leave you penny-less. Not unless you are born rich or have saved more than you'd probably be needing.
  
  But that also applies. What do I know about your financial capacities? If you can afford that, very nice.
  
  But for start-ups, I guess it will be better if you settle for something less pricey. You see, as new couples, there are many things you will be spending at. You will have to prepare for your wedding and moving into a new niche simply mean more expenses. Of course, you will have to buy new stuffs, new furnitures, a lot of things.
  
  So I guess, it will really be better if you pick another site.
• Question:-How do I build a loft ceiling for a "soft loft"?
  My friend and I got a 2 bedroom loft only one of the ceilings doesn't go up all the way to the top, meaning that theres this uncomfortable lack of privacy for the room. How can I build something that will touch the ceiling and seal off the room? Is there an inflatable wall or cubicle I can buy? We're also renting so drilling/breaking into any part of the building is out of the question.
  But would hte fabric seal out some of the noise?
  
  Answer:-I built a temporary wall using pvc pipe and fabric, it was supper easy and really cheap (a ten foot piece of pvc pipe is $1)
  
  I would try using a heavy felt type fabric for blocking noise. If you go to your local joann fabric, they will have it in lots of colors and I think it is pretty cheap.
• Question:-How do I go about getting a loft conversion?
  Do I have to get architect plans before I can get planning permission?

  Answer:-yes find a contractor to advise on doing this before starting. Also talk to ur local governemnt as they may require an updated plan.
• Question:-How much weight can a loft conversion take?
  My brothers room underneath me is developing cracks in the walls, and i'm not sure if it's because the loft has too much weight in it. Heres what i have in my loft:
  
  A torso man (standing punch bag)
  a weights bench
  another weights bench (foldaway one for situps, etc)
  67.3kg of dumbells / weights
  a squat rack
  A TV
  A PC
  A bed
  boxes containing books etc, under the bed.
  and me (i weight 123 pounds).
  
  Do you think this is ok?
  
  Answer:-Without knowing how your structure is I would guess no more than 125lbs. per sq. foot.

• Question:-how do i access my loft, which is above the middle of the stairs?
  hi all, bought a house with less storage space except for loft, but its in an awkward place where you cannot access it, normally its right at the top of the stairs. if you walk half the way up the stairs and look up thats where the loft is, so u cannot put a ladder there.
  good idea, i was thinking that earlier.
  
  Answer:-You will need a long enough ladder and someone to spot the ladder...consider relocating it to another area.

• Question:-How can Christmas lights be utilized indoors to add a subtle ambience to a room without being overpowering?
  Would it be better to use the Christmas lights that come in tinted shades and give off a soft light orange light as opposed to white light or other colors? I don't want it to look like a Christmas decoration/theme or look tacky. Also, what are some safety precautions to keep in mind when decorating with them? Are they a fire hazard if draped over fabric, for instance?
  
  Answer:-I have often decorated tall indoor plants with those tiny white lights. They give off a soft light that doesn't look particularly Christmasy. I usually leave them on throughout the nite as they light the way to other parts of the house when all is dark in the middle of the night.
  
  I wouldn't use them over fabric for any length of time as they might scorch the fabric if it came into direct contact.
• Question:-What are the best christmas lights to use that wont burn out quickly?
  I am looking to buy some new christmas lights for outdoor use. Maybe some isicle lights or something. I just want to know what to look for when purchasing the lights. I have had way too many experiences with the lights burning out or not working after one season. What are the best lights to get and where can I find them? Does anyone have any that they had good experiences with first hand? Thanks in advance . Merry Christmas!
  
  Answer:-If you want long life go for LED lights. The globes themselves will last for about 20yrs. Where they will fail is in the cable and the connections, so go for some with a thicker cable, strong joins and preferably with the cable loomed (bundled) together the give the whole thing some strength.
  If you are going to use them outside make sure they are the 12v or 24v version for safety.
  As with all bud style lighting handle with care when installing, dismantaling and storing and it will last you many seasons. Remember one small snag is enough to ruin the whole chain.
  As to where to find them most stores stock them these days you can even get them at discount stores, China is flooding the market with cheap LED at the moment. Hope this helps.
• Question:-How to hang Christmas Lights on the inside of my screened Lanai?
  Whast is the best easiest way to hang Christmas Lights f=on the inside of my screened lanai where the pool is? Im having a pool birthday party for my son and he wanted there to be christmas lights.
  
  Answer:-i'd like to know that also. i've used little sticky tabs with velcro and clips to hold them up (got them at walmart) but they fell down after a few weeks (the stickiness wore off). i've also tried a hot glue gun every few feet and that lasted a little longer but i still had a few give out after a month or so. if it's only for a single event, and you don't have time or can't find those sticky tab/velcro/clip things, i would go with a hot glue gun. make sure the glue blob wraps around the wires because the wires can pop out of the glue pretty easily. this should be adequate for the party but if somebody else has a more permanent solution, i'd be happy to know about it also.

• Question:-Christmas-How do Christmas lights make a Christmas tree come alive and look more beautiful?
  What do people mean when they say that Christmas lights make any Christmas tree come alive and look nice than trees decorated with out Christmas lights,my family has Multi colored lights and there tree and when it is day time,the tree looks lifeless but when night comes and the sun goes down and the tree get turned on and it has a turn-able stand,it seems like it comes alive with all of those Multi colored lights on it.
  
  Answer:-I think it means that lights can add that extra sparkle to the tree. They make the tree stand out from anything else in your house, because it is so bright and illuminated. Also, the way the lights reflect off the ornamnts really draws your eye to the tree and it really makes the tree come alive :) Can't wait to put my tree back up again!
• Question:-Can leaving Christmas lights on kill a pine tree?
  We have a small pine that my husband left Christmas lights on for over a year. I recently noticed that it is dying and some needles and branches are turning brown. I had my husband take the lights off, but I want to know if there is anything else we can do to help restore this tree. I heard that 7 up works. Is that a myth or are there any other home remedies that could help?
  
  Answer:-I cannot see Xmas lights being the cause of your problems. Without seeing the tree or knowing its history it is impossible to give an opinion.
