Good Day All- My wide and I moved into a house that we really like last Fall and we have had nothing but bad luck since then. Most recently we had an old shut off valve under the kitchen sink that inadvertently get turned on, probably from our two year-old) and after about 2-3 weeks in finally came through into the basement. The damage was done nevertheless :mad:. Long story short, insurance is paying for most if not all of it. We will be getting new counter tops on top of it all since the marble we had of course broke upon them removing all of it. We are taking the opportunity to "update" or change some things (farmhouse sink, bead board back splash, etc) since items are being removed and replaced. We have a somewhat unique setup in our kitchen (commercial stove and fridge). Above our range is what I think a copper exhaust hood that is rather large. That hood needs to be removed when we re-do the back splash behind it. The hood is rather greasy and lint/dust has of course become a part of the outer sides of it that is seen. It's not terribly ugly but I'd rather have it patina or restore it to copper color once again. (I am going to try and post pics when the come through). I can only get two pictures to work of course. I am not real sure what to do with it because I'm deathly afraid of ruining it... I am hoping someone here has some ideas or suggestions.. Evan[ATTACH]51340[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]51341[/ATTACH]

I live in Vancouver, BC Canada and am in need of an estimate. I just moved into this place and didn't take a good look at it. After I moved in I noticed evidence of mice. I set up traps and haven't caught anything. I think the mice are gone but there is urine stains and droppings throughout the kitchen which is extremely unsanitary. My landlord is forcing me to clean up mice droppings and urine because he cannot do it properly. The mouse droppings and urine are in the kitchen which is fairly small(60 square feet roughly). There is hundreds of droppings underneath the baking tray in the oven. There is mouse droppings and urine in all of the corners of the cupboards and drawers. There is more mouse dropppings and urine stains behind where the drawers sit. I need an estimate so I can charge my landlord properly for cleaning up the last tenants mess. I know this is an American website but if you could help me out it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Jake
