In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Unless you're already a pricing pro (in which case you likely don't need this article), you shouldn't make a purchase without comparing 4-5 similar pieces of furniture. Note the price differences, and ask the seller about any discrepancies. If you're buying a bedroom set, for example, educate yourself on the average costs for a bedroom set. Check out these average price ranges for common furniture to get started: Bed: $50-300 Dresser: $20-100 Desk: $25-200 Dining Room Set: $150-1,000 Table: $50-150 Sofa: $35-200 Arm Chair: $25-150. Has it needed repairs? How old is it? Any issues to comment on? Most sellers won't tell you their furniture is terrible, but you can get a sense for their pricing with good questions. If someone tells you "it is expensive because it is antique," make sure you know when it was made. If they can't tell you, or if it was made after 1970, it is not an antique. Take any price with a grain of salt. You want snug, tight joints and no wiggle. The piece should feel solid under your weight, especially chairs, sofas, and tables. Trust your own instincts on this -- if it doesn't look solid and well built, then don't spend a ton of money on it. If it's got a few dings or scratches, you might want to ask for $25-30 less than the asking price. Don't buy the furniture if it is cheaply built-- chances are good you'll just need to buy another one in a few years. If you're looking for a great desk, you don't need to spend $500 on the perfect piece. If the construction is good and you like the shape, but the surface is scratched, faded, or ugly, you might be able to get a great price for a good desk. A can of paint, or wood stain, is cheap. If you're willing to spend an afternoon refinishing a piece of furniture you can often save several hundred dollars. Ultimately, a piece of furniture is worth the price it is sold for. So, if you really like a piece, and have shopped around to find a good potential price, make an offer. If you can back up your offer with evidence of similar furniture prices, even better. When making an offer, remember: Know how high you're willing to go. Set this now so that you can walk away if the price gets too high. You don't want to make this decision on the spot. Make your preferred price clear. This is not about tactics or strategy. Be honest and upfront when making your case to get the price you want -- "I'd be willing to pay $200 for this desk." Be flexible. If you're not going to budge on your price, don't bother negotiating. You should never pay more than you decided beforehand, but you should be able to work with the seller. Make sure you know how you're going to get the furniture from the seller, and how this affects your price. Lock down who is responsible for moving the furniture before finalizing the sale. Remember that you may have to reupholster or restain the piece if it is faded or in need of repair. Consider this part of the buying price, and let the seller know.
Summary: Shop around for similar furniture before making an offer. Ask about the age and history of the furniture. Check for solid construction. Find "fixer-uppers" for great deals. Set the price you are willing to pay before contacting the seller. Calculate the shipping and moving costs before purchasing.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Under this system, you can install several different fixtures in the same system of pipes, attached at different places. Although this system complicates the layout of your plumbing system, it reduces the total amount of piping you need and can save a lot of space and effort. Consider asking a professional plumber to help you with this. Consider the size of piping you'll need for each segment, the distance between fixtures, and the plumbing demands of each fixture. Make sure your plans fit within building codes and regulations, which can be more complicated for wet venting than for dry. An example bathroom layout is as follows. The sink has a drain pipe 1.5" in diameter, which connects to a vertical vent pipe. The toilet has a 3" waste pipe which makes a T or a Y with the bottom of the vent pipe, such that the vent pipe goes upwards vertically from the horizontal waste pipe. Between the intersection with the sink's drain pipe and the toilet's waste pipe, the vent pipe is acting as the sink's drain and the toilet's vent, and so must be 2" in diameter. Above the intersection with the sink, the vent pipe simply acts as a vent for both fixtures and so can be smaller, 1.5" in diameter. For example, toilets should be installed downstream of all other fixtures, so that nothing else will vent through the waste pipe. A wet venting pipe can't be reduced in size -- the piping should never get smaller as other fixtures tap into it. And all fixtures should be no more than the maximum allowable distance from a vent, even if that means dry venting certain fixtures. See your local building codes for more detailed regulations, and double check that you accommodate all of them. Run your plans by a professional plumber or someone intimately familiar with these codes if you're unsure about any of the regulations.
Summary: Understand wet ventilation, where one fixture's vent is another's drain. Plan the location and layout of your piping. Accommodate regulations in wet venting.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Check the garment label for the specific washing instructions. If the label on the garment tag says "Dry Clean Only," take it to the dry cleaners right away. Point the stain out to the cleaner so they know exactly what kind of stain they're dealing with. If the label does not say "Dry Clean Only," you can try to get the stain out yourself using some household products. Immediately rinse or blot the tea stain with cold water if the spill has just occurred. Blot the stain with a clean cloth, continuous moving the cloth around to blot the stain with a clean section. Continue blotting the spot until no more of the stain is lifting from the garment. If your garment does not require dry cleaning, soak it in cold water for at least 30 minutes. You can also leave the garment to soak overnight if the stain is particularly big. Consider adding a small amount of detergent (a few tablespoons for 1 gallon of water) or bleach to the cold water soak. However, only add bleach if the garment is white. You could also try soaking a cotton garment in a vinegar solution. Mix together 3 cups of white vinegar and 1 cup of cold water in a bucket, bowl, or sink. Add the cotton garment to the solution and let it soak for about 30 minutes. Alternatively, you could spray the vinegar solution straight onto the stain, and allow it to sit for approximately 30 minutes. If the stain remains after the soak, pour some table salt onto the stain and rub the fabric and salt together with you fingers. When the stained garment has had time to soak, launder it as you normally would. If the garment is white, use bleach. You can use oxygenated bleach or color-safe bleach on colored fabrics. Remove the fabric from the wash machine and survey it before you place it in the dryer. Heat will set a stain, so it should not be used until the tea is entirely removed. If the stain is entirely removed, dry the garment as you normally would or place it outside to dry in the sun.
Summary:
Check the garment label. Rinse the item in cold water. Soak the garment in cold water. Soak cotton garments in a vinegar solution. Launder the garment after it has soaked. Dry the garment.
