SAN DIEGO — IKEA is recalling five models of its VYSSA crib mattress because of a possible entrapment hazard. The five models are VYSSA VACKERT, VYSSA VINKA, VYSSA SPELEVINK, VYSSA SLOA and VYSSA SLUMMER, according to IKEA. The recall applies to any VYSSA mattress with a date of manufacture of May 4, 2014 or earlier. This information can be found on the label attached to the mattress cover. VYSSA crib mattresses have been sold in the U.S. since August 2010. The recall was issued after reports of two infants becoming entrapped between the mattress and end of the crib, though the children were removed without injuries. IKEA is encouraging consumers to make sure their crib mattress is of the correct length by measuring for any possible gap. After removing all of the bedding, customers should verify the gap is no larger than the width of two fingers between the ends of the crib and the mattress. If the gap is larger, customers should return it to IKEA for an exchange or full refund.

That's very difficult to answer without seeing the house. As one poster said, the prep is the most important part. On newer homes that don't have a lot of peeling paint, the prep can be very minimal even as low as a couple or a few hundred dollars for the prep labor. On a 100 year old home with 12 coats of peeling paint on it, then the prep costs can be very high and can easily exceed 50% of the job's labor cost.A 2100 sq ft two story home could easily cost $1000 just for the labor to prep for the paint job. That number could climb too. Throw in lots of caullking or window glazing, and you could be talking a couple or a few hundred dollars more for labor.
Painting that home with one coat of paint and a different color on the trim could run roughly $1000 or more just for labor. Add a second coat and that could cost close to another $1000 for labor. For paint, you may need 20 gallons of paint. You can pay from $30-$70 for a gallon of good quality exterior paint. The manufacturer of the paint should be specified in any painting contract. Otherwise, the contractor could bid at a Sherwin-Williams $60 per gallon paint and then paint the house with $35 Valspar and pocket the difference. $25 dollars per gallon times 20 gallons? That's a pretty penny too. That was the long answer to your question. The short answer is $2000 to $4000 and up, depending upon the amount of prep, the number of coats, the amount of trim, and the paint used.We've Updated Our Terms Of Service.

If you're deep in the misery of spending every second of your spare time trawling round Ikea, you might know. They're all in fact names of mattresses and they are, according to a study, where dreams - and a large proportion of Europe's babies - are made. Even though, in terms of fun, choosing and assembling flat pack furniture is up there with root canal surgery or a surprise tax bill, a lot of couples are finding the allure of an Ikea bed a bit of an aphrodisiac . More randomly, one paper has decided to actually work out how MANY babies are conceived in Ikea beds . Recently, the New York Times looked into how the mega popular Swedish brand will impact our culture in the long term in an article titled "Ikea forever". And you don't get much more long term than a baby. While the article in question looked at several aspects of Ikea's impact, the most striking fact was that one in ten Europeans are conceived on an Ikea mattress. We should add, however, that all this conceiving happens in the privacy of their own homes.
