generally my only objective is to get rid of old things i no longer want to own but i know im able to get money out of them still. im mostly concerned with how to make the most profit out of selling my things, as the money is likely to go towards rent and bills. i live in the US and am within walking distance of a post office, UPS, and fedex store. i can provide examples of what i will be selling if necessary, but its nothing over 10 lbs unless the buyer buys multiple items in one go.
So I made a big mistake and hung posters and sound panels to my walls using this tape I got from Amazon (last picture) and now I can't get the bits off the walls. I plan on repainting the walls obviously but need to get as much off as I can before then. Anybody have any hacks/solutions that I could try? Pictures 1 and 2 show the remainder of the foam panels that didn't come off.
In the future yes, I've learned my lesson I'll use tacks or some kind of alternative.
Thanks!
Been trying a couple different things with no luck
I bought this doll bed recently. The white and floral design is nice, but I'd prefer to paint it another color to match a room better.
It's Badger Basket brand and it lists wood, polyester, and MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard) as the materials it's made of. The polyester could be the bedding it came with, but I'm listing it just in case.
Pictures are included below.
Our dog has tiny pee accidents on our couch from time to time. I used a stain remover that my MIL recommended, but it was a rather thick and sticky spray. You couldn’t see anything at first, but after a few months, now it looks like this. Seems like the spray is attracting dirt. We’ve since found a spot cleaner that works great for the accidents. But how do I remove these spots from the old cleaner?
I want to learn how to code and program and stuff connected to computers. But i dont know much about it or where to start. I plan on going to university in the future when i can afford it to learn but want to be prepared and learn before hand so its easier. Im in my 30s and never been the most tech savy individual. Are there any courses or anything i can read/watch etc that is reputeable/can be trusted.
How would you patch this?
Just wondering how some invest some money, not been very good with it.
