In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: These dyes are give oak a consistent base color that improves the final stain. All you have to do is stir the dye powder into a glass jar filled with water according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Mix the dye powder in 50% more water than the label recommends, since this thins the dye and prevents the wood from absorbing too much color.  For example, you might mix about 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of dye in 2 cups (470 mL) of hot water. Visit a home improvement store to find a variety of wood dye shades. For example, a honey amber dye works well on red oak, turning it a light brown color. Fill a spray bottle with room temperature water. Move the bottle along the wood as you spray water onto it. You want to lightly moisten it, not saturate it. The water fills the oak’s pores, causing it to dye more evenly.  You can also use a sponge to moisten the wood. While you can stain dry wood, this may lead to dark patches and streaks in the stain. Empty out the spray bottle, then load the thinned dye into it. Bring the nozzle close to the oak as you begin misting the dye onto it. Slowly move the bottle along the oak to cover it in a light, even layer of dye. You can also use clean rags or paper towels to wipe the dye onto the wood. The dye will begin soaking into the wood right away. After you are done misting dye, use clean rags or paper towels to wipe away the remaining dye. Remember to work along the oak's grain. Wiping smooths out the coating and removes excess dye that can make the wood too dark. You will need to wait for the oak to feel dry to the touch. If the dye isn’t dried properly, it may discolor the final stain. The dye may also darken during this time, so waiting can help you get an idea of how much more dye the wood needs. Check the manufacturer’s instructions for drying recommendations. You may need to repeat dyeing 2 or 3 times to get the color you desire. Remember to wait for the wood to dry every time you add another coating of dye. The oak should be a consistent color when you are finished. Each coating of dye deepens the oak’s coloring, so be cautious. Reversing a dark dye job is very difficult and you may need to start over on new wood if this happens. Sand along the wood’s grain, pressing down very lightly to avoid scratching the oak. This scuffs the oak so it is better able to absorb sealant. Wipe off the wood particles with a clean, dry tack cloth when you’re finished.   Use only fine-grit sandpaper. Anything coarser will damage the wood. Make sure you sand the entire area. Any areas that appear dull in light usually haven’t been sanded enough. You will need a can of clear shellac from a home improvement store. Look for the 2 pounds (0.91 kg) variety. Using a paint brush or clean rag, spread the shellac onto the oak, moving along the grain.  The 2 pounds (0.91 kg) label on the can of shellac means that 2 pounds (0.91 kg) of shellac flakes were dissolved in alcohol. You can use sanding sealer or varnish instead of shellac. The shellac should feel dry to the touch. Depending on how well-ventilated your workspace is, drying may take a little longer than this. Check the manufacturer’s instructions for the recommended drying time.
Summary: Mix a wood dye in water. Mist the oak with water to improve dye absorption. Spray the dye onto the wood. Blot off the excess dye after 10 minutes. Wait about 2 hours for the dye to dry. Apply extra coatings of dye as needed. Sand the wood lightly with 320-grit sandpaper. Brush dewaxed shellac onto the dye to seal it into the wood. Wait 30 minutes for the shellac to dry.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Different landlords and property managers may have different expectations for their tenants. Most leases require their tenants to leave rental units clean and undamaged beyond “ordinary wear and tear.”  While “ordinary wear and tear” can be hard to define, it generally refers to damage that occurs as a result of regular use of a space or appliance, as opposed to damage that results from carelessness, neglect, or intentional abuse. Depending on local landlord-tenant polity, your landlord or property manager may or may not want you to repair minor damage to the property, such as nail holes or chipped paint. Make note of any areas that particularly need to be cleaned, such as smudged or stained walls, dirty cabinets, dirty pet areas, and grimy or mildewed kitchen and bathroom surfaces. Make a list of any notable damage to your unit, such as holes in the screens, missing or damaged blinds, scratches or gouges in the hardwood floors, chipped paint, or marks on the walls that cannot be easily cleaned off. Check your light fixtures, smoke detectors, fridge, stove, and any other appliances that belong to the property in order to make sure that they are working and in good condition. This way you can avoid any unpleasant surprises during the move-out inspection. In general, it is the responsibility of the landlord or property manager to make major repairs or replace broken appliances. However, it is the tenant's responsibility to inform the landlord of these problems as they occur.
Summary:
Review the move-out policy in your lease. Examine your apartment for dirt. Examine your apartment for damage. Make sure your appliances are functioning properly. Talk to your landlord about any damage or problems you find.
