I am interested in various solutions other than painting , in covering
these pipes.

They are somewhat intrusive ...coming out of nowhere and usually
sitting in the

middle of the room for all to see. it seems no matter what paint, one
uses it seems

to chip off and i was wondering if there is anything more decorative.
Ive seen

insulated solutions...what are thes called and where can i get
them...someone

suggested just tying rope around the entire pipe, but I'm worried
it'll burn...

please help...this is one of my projects this week, and i really want
to finish it

before winter comes and the pipes get too hot to handle.
thanks!

Rip them all out and change over to forced air..... no more steam pipes.

Did I mention that they kept sending me to school so they couldn't call me a
dumbass no more??

You must keep painting them white to match the elephant sitting on
the couch
along side the 400 lb. gorilla.

Use some old foil back wall paper or just use your left-over Christmas
wrapping paper. A pretty bow at the corner would look just dandy.
Save the rope to put around your neck, tie it to a bridge and ...JUMP!
