What is the minimum number of handicapped parking spaces required in an apartment complex?

 - by sanford

I live in an apartment complex with over 100 apartments that covers about 2-3 acres in total. There are about 15 buildings each having its own parking lot. In the entire complex, there is (1) handicapped parking spot, it is by the leasing office. A friend of mine who also lives here is handicapped and has a health care worker who drives him around to appointments etc. He has asked for a handicapped space near his apartment and the apartment manager has told him no, because he does not own a vehicle. Is this legal?

How much say should a woman have in decorating the house (or apartment)?

 - by sanford

Let’s say a woman is married and she wants to decorate the house or apartment. Should her husband give her a certain amount of money and let her do whatever or should she get her husband’s permission before she buys certain things like their bed sheets and shower curtains?
I definately believe women should have a sizeable say in this matter but there might need to be some limits placed on them.

Do you want to decorate my apartment?

 - by sanford

I suck at these sorts of things.

I have the plot plan. It’s a 1 bedroom, 680 sq ft 3rd floor lakeview apartment with patio access from both the bedroom and from the living room.

I don’t have any furniture, BUT, I thought…if there was a cool way to arrange the furniture to maximize the space, that would be cool. Is anyone out there willing to do that, or give me some tips?

I basically have a TV, speakers, a desk chair. and that’s about it! I’m considering buying a love seat. Do you think I need a coffee table?

I need help. Anyone out there willing to work a small project with me for free?

How can I decorate my apartment walls?

 - by sanford

I live in an apartment with paneling on the walls. I am not allowed to paint over the paneling, but it is so dark and depressing. I have asked the landlord and I can’t paint or apply wallpaper, as he wants the paneling to remain the way it is. I’ve searched online and in stores for tapestries but my biggest wall is 180″ by 90″ and none of them are big enough. Covering only part of the wall is not an option because the paneling sticks out (I’ve tried it with a smaller tapestry).
I would like to add (in case it wasn’t clear before) that using pieces of art work doesn’t work well due to the dark, drabness of the paneling that’s behind it. Even when you can see little pieces of it, it distracts you. It’s really ugly.

How can I decorate my apartment to look like something from New York City?

 - by sanford

Now I am not trying to look like New York’s elitest people or poorest either. So what type of decor should I have to make my place look like a typical new york city apartment? (This apartment does have white doors and white carpet so is that a start?) I have also seen in movies that some have catholic images for wall hangings. Some also have superman like in Seinfeld. So yeah what type of wall hangings and such should I buy? (I am in rural texas by the way.)
