Hi, hows it going? I have a quick question, and I just need some friendly advice. I'm rather knowledgeable with tools, but sometimes I get in over my head. They say you have to get in over your head to learn how to swim right? Anyway my question refers to a roof repair I'm trying to make on...

Hey there! I'm new here, thanks for welcoming me. I recently had an accident and snapped one of the blinds in my apartment. The material is some sort of composite, it's like wood but I think it's plastic. It's rough inside. See photos linked below in my comment immediately below. I'm...

I am replacing the deck boards and railings on a older deck. On the first half I had no problems, but when I pulled off the old deck boards on the second half I noticed the joists looked a little worse for wear. They seem pretty dry and the area gets a lot of sun, but there is a lot of splitting...

Hallo everybody, After a small leak, I have removed a ceiling and discovered hallucinating things on the joist of a flat roof in a sleeping room. One joist is completely collapsed, two more are fully damaged and the 70% of the wooden structure is full of white mold, sings of worms presence...

Just closed on my fixer in November. I decided to do a makeover on the fireplace before installing the new flooring for the basement. There were about 16 brick that had busted out of the mortar so I spent yesterday doing a DIY masonry job. I plan to tile over everything so I just wanted stuff...

Hi everyone. Newbie here! Forgive me if this first post is long but I rather be thorough than to write a one liner no one will understand. I purchased a house two years ago, it's a bungalow constructed in 1976. I decided it was time to remove all the walls and ceilings in garage and basement...

Just bought an old house with an old garage. The garage door actually works fine, but the outside looks bad, with the bottom panel broken/rotted away, and I'd like to repair it. It's a 7'h x 17'w wood door. But interestingly, the exterior seems to be some sort of painted foam board, with wood...
