    Hi everyone! We just bought our first home and decided to do some renovations on the second floor in a DYI style. This is my first project and so far I think I’ve been doing ok. I removed all baseboard trims and got new ones, cut and now putting in place. However, this little gap between the...

    We are about to paint and do some updating on our bedroom, it still has a Phone Landline and Cable TV hooks up coming out of the wall. We don't need them, or really want them, anymore, but I don't know if there's anything I can do with the boxes, outside of either putting on new plates so they...

    Recently bought a house with a freestanding fireplace. Plan on converting the property to a rental so I’m looking to remove the fireplace. Any advice on how to take this out? Can I remove the unit and cap it off from inside the attic? Or will I need to remove everything and patch the roof...

    Hello! I just discovered that my house has some areas where lead paint is present. This concerns me because I have young child (6 years old). For the most part, the lead paint is under multiple coats of modern paint that is in good condition - and most areas aren't being jostled or bumped up...

    Hello. I've fallen in love with this door but not the price. The design is very simple and I feel like it could be replicated with a Dremel tool or a router? What type of door would I need to buy though? I know that solid core doors are not solid all the way through, but does anyone know how...

    We're redoing our floor and and the underlayment was damaged so we tore that out. While doing this I noticed that our subfloor is only 1/4" thick! We are shocked!

    Please take this down if not allowed Have you ever had a piece of furniture fall apart soon after you bought it? Well, that's what happened to my wife and me when we got a bed from Wayfair. Disappointed, we decided to take matters into our own hands and headed to Lowes to get materials to build...
