Q: What type of mirror makes a bathroom look bigger?

• <div><p>There are a couple of different mirrors that can make a small bathroom look bigger. If you need a functional mirror in the space, choose a frameless option instead of a mirror with thick or intricate framing. Heavy frames can make the space feel cluttered. Additionally, you can swap a large mirror with small frameless mirrors to create the illusion of more wall space. </p></div>

Q: Why do old windows have wavy glass?

• <div><p>Contrary to popular belief, wavy glass in older homes isn't caused by warping. The blowing technique used to create windows in homes dating back to the 1700s, 1800s, and early 1900s left behind small bubbles that create a wavy effect. If a glass window is functional, there's no need to consider wavy glass damaged. In fact, many homeowners prefer the old charm of wavy glass.</p></div>

Q: How do you make cut glass not sharp?

• <div><p>The easiest way for DIYers to smooth the edges of cut glass is to use sandpaper. Wearing protective gloves, gently sand the sharp edges smooth using low-grit sandpaper and working up to high-grit sandpaper. You can also use a multitool with a rotating sandpaper cylinder to make quicker work of the project.</p></div>

Q: How do you secure a hanging mirror?

• <div><p>Start by attaching the mirror to a wall stud if possible. Next, use appropriate hardware for the mirror's size and the wall material. That could look like drywall anchors, toggle bolts, or self-drilling anchors to ensure a strong hold. Additionally, D-rings or hanging brackets are more secure than a nail. You can also use mirror adhesive to secure small or larger mirrors with a vanity as a base.</p></div>

Long story short, they always find expensive things to fix when they do a general checkup (always) and the guy laid my glass Next Thermostat on the face and scratched the glass!!! He did apologize and owned up to it but that’s pretty bad for someone to do that. Not sure I’ll use them again.
