Has anyone bought an all metal garden shed off Amazon or box store? Do they hold up well at all? Most of the ones I’ve seen in person are from the 90s and covered in blackberry bushes.

Hi folks, I got a heat pump installed at my home and I’m looking to better understand when/how it switches over to backup fuel in the winter....

What kinds of tools or products do you know of that work well for moles? Not interested in trapping and releasing, or having dead and decaying animals underground. I’ve heard of the sonic spikes which may deter them but with mixed reviews

When the garge door is closed it recently developed a kink as show. Is this a simple fix such as adjusting the brackets, or is it possibly something more structural to the door? Other side has no problems, if you aren’t sure thanks for looking anyway!

Our master bath doesn’t have an exhaust fan and I’d like to add one to help with the humidity. It’s the primary bathroom of use upstairs and the 2nd full bath is on the other side of the wall....

Hello all,...

Was replacing a vanity fixture as part of a light bathroom refresh, and discovered that there was no junction box behind the old fixture, just a hole in the wall the wires ran through. This is hardly the worst I’ve found (I still need to address the kitchen light that is just a lamp cord through a hole in the ceiling back to a...

Title says it. New Faucet came with a drain that doesn’t tighten down enough, you can see the threads end much lower on the plastic one. Thanks

I’ve got a bunch eating holes in my deck structure. I’ve built a trap, but none have ever gone in it. I’d rather avoid sprays. I’ve read I could spray the holes with a lemon juice concentrate. I posted a picture of the trap I go through but it doesn’t really work.

Our old cheap toilet you can’t get parts for anymore (dual flush). I remember my dad fixing old singl-flush toilets with just standard parts from the hardware store. But these new dual-flush toilets are super proprietary. Are single-flush toilets more standardized to where I would be able to easily find parts? I am thinking...

Is whole-home surge protection a good idea to protect large appliances, a plug in hybrid car, etc from voltage spikes?...

There’s about a 15’-20’ gap in my fence that the previous owners never finished. It’s on both sides where the fence would meet up with the house. Normally it wouldn’t bother me but I’d like a safe enclosed space for my dog to run around in....

Moving into a new apartment that has drywall returns already installed around the windows, but does not have any window framing or sills (I understand they’re called stools when on the interior)....

I just finished tearing out the carpet and modernizing the stairs. I used a Poly stain, but should I also go with another coat of just Poly? Added a before and after (still need to do some minor touch ups from painters tape)

Need help figuring out how to hide this U ducting. Direct link to the Imgur album (so sorry if this is not the right way to share, still trying to figure out how to create a thread properly. Tried to add with new photo but it wouldn't let me add by URL): https://imgur.com/a/9xdkYrP...
