Putting Plastic Wading Pool Away? Don't! Just clean it up and use for storage. Have your kids put toys inside and simply slide under the bed during the winter months. In the summer, take it outside for pool duty.

One-Day Bath Remodel

One-day bathtub remodel, that is. If the porcelain in your tub is pitted, chipped or stained, it's not necessary to tear out the tub to make things look better. Tubs can be resurfaced, but you can also install a liner to get that new-tub look. Acrylic liners conform to the shape of the existing tub and can be installed in one day. Check the yellow pages or cruise the home shows for a tub-lining contractor.
