Home Improvement

Hello, I just moved into this house and it’s a pretty major work in progress. One thing that’s perplexed me though is the front door....

What kinda of wood or other material should be used to replace the box end and soffit?

Hi all,...

We have a couple big projects that I'm not comfortable doing myself (mainly roof/foundation repair)....

So I’m planning out a bathroom remodel and part of that is replacing the vent fan because currently mine is just venting into my attic (no bueno). I know normally bathrooms are vented out through the roof but my bathroom is on an exterior wall so I was wondering if I could just vent it out the side of the house. I’m going to...

I had a skylight in a small barn I have on my property which had a branch go through one of the plastic bubble like skylights. I have been trying to find a replacement for it but can’t find any that match....

They are bigger than I was able to capture on camera beauty of water heater being in the way.

I'm framing up a non-load-bearing wall that has two closet doors on it, close together (the king studs for the two openings are 13" apart). Unfortunately, they are aligned such that one of the 16" OC common studs would fall within that gap. In fact, it would only be 1/2" away from the left king stud, so not even anywhere near...

I am currently redesigning my kitchen in a 1930’s Midwestern USA house. The kitchen has a decent floor area but the floor plan is oddly restrictive....

So the “fails to complete a cycle without erroring out” rate finally seems to have reached 100%, on the Samsung dishwasher that came with the house....

My façade was old & cracking. Chunks looked like they were close to falling. I removed all the loose bits and re-rendered with new concrete. I did the proper bonding steps with polyvinylacetate (#PVA). That previously cracked part of the #façade seems relatively strong and water resistent now (i.e. the color remains light...

An electrician ‘fixed’ an issue by making this hole in a basement cinder block wall....

How do i remove these anchors? Is there maybe a way to push them further in so i can just add filler on top? I decided to refinish this piece of furniture but found myself stumped already. The anchors are flush with the furniture, so i can’t grab them from the top....

Hi all,...

I’m trying to find a certain kind of bracket to mount a cage fan like this on my porch....

What’s the orange knob? Obviously the red and blue are hot and cold water for the washing machine. The orange knob is extremely hard to turn and I don’t want to force it without knowing what it is. Any ideas?

Homeowner with a decent amount of handiness but wondering if I’m going to bite off more than I can chew. Is it worth it to try and remove the old shower tub combo and replace it with a new one pretty much by myself? I realize this is a bit of a loaded question and can’t really be answered without knowing my skills but if...

I’m seeing a crack in the corner of the ducts. Can I just tape it shut with boxing tape or is there a better way to do it?...

To be frank, I'm not sure if replacing the single pane with double pane is: A - something I can afford at the moment and B - something I can DIY (which adds to point A)....

We have a motion activated sprinkler to deter deer from eating our tomatoes and I'm looking for a timer that will shut off the water flow during the day. The ones I've seen at the store seem to only want to water intermittently, instead of completely off/on....

Currently installed is a recent (about 10 years) Harbor Bay 5 blade ceiling fan with 44" blade diameter....
