@rapidtransitman The smoke damage was NOT from smokers - it was from the trains! I remember when I was a little boy you could smell diesel smoke and actually see the rays of sun light shining through the smokey air. To this day that smell brings back memories of traveling! Now almost all the trains using Grand Central Termainal are electric - while better for the enviornment it is somehow not the same.

You will NOT be able to remove this from the tiles when you move out. I used a similar product in my old rental apartment but I knew that the landlord would not care about it and if he did I was prepaired to lose my deposit. The finish in my experiance was very durable. I did it when I moved in and after 7 years, with the exception of a few minor blemishes, it still looked good. I strongly advise that if you choose to go this route you have it professionally done. Also make sure you can stay at a friends house for 3 days. The smell is UNBEARABLE while it is being applied and hardening. I have no idea what those chemicals that off-gass do to the body but it cant be good. I gave the same advice to a coworker but she did not stay with a friend and regretted it - she was nautious for a week! Also if it is professionally done you run less risk of any drip marks. Good luck and let us know how it turns out! Advice on Reglazing Ugly Bathroom Tile? Good Questions Flag this comment	3/27/12 11:26 AM
Guests like fish smell after 3 days. Living in NYC so may friends want to visit and they don't understand that a small open-plan apartment is not ideal for guests. After having a few come for 4 days and then extend their stay extend for 10 days I now don't want to make it too comfortable!

If you travel internationally don't forget to put your plug adapter in your carry on, your American iPhone charger won't do you any good in the UK (or anywhere else) without it. Another tip - go to you local hardware store to buy your adapter, Some places charge up to $20 for it, my hardware store charges $3. DO NOT wait to get an adapter overseas. I have had a hard time finding them, and when I did they cost a fortune! Tech Travel Tip: Pack Chargers in Your Carry-On Flag this comment	3/9/12 9:12 AM
How about HEAVY floor to ceiling dark theatre type curtains along the entire wall and door opening on the inside of bedroom? I am not an expert on NYC real estate law but it I am not sure you can legally close it off. In NYC if it does not have a window it is not legally a bedroom. Since it currently is open on the top and at the "door" I believe it bypasses that law. Privacy and Sound Control for Loft Bedroom? Good Questions Flag this comment	9/20/11 4:35 PM
I have a slow-close toilet seat reat toilet seat from Home Depot that cost about $25. It looks and functions the same as any other toilet seat. My complicated lighting controls allways gets a "how do I turn on the hall lights?" - I do not want operation questions about the toilet! PS. The indentation and mechanism on the back of the seat look like they may be less sanitary than a flat smooth surface.
