    Composite deck

    I'm good on building the stairs thank you. Just wasn't sure about painting the composite material on the deck. It is a dark brown with a maroon tint but also looks like it is fading. Tough to describe so I'll try to post a picture tomorrow. I'm kind of picky and wanted the new stairs to look...

    Composite deck

    My house was built in 2001 and there is an original composite deck/patio on the back. I want to add a set of stairs but I have a problem.

    I live in Massachusetts and my wife is originally from the south. She loves Magnolia trees and I was hoping to surprise her by planting a couple in our yard. I don't know much about them other than I've only seen them in the south. Does anyone know if they can survive the New England season...

    My tub spout still leaks when the shower is on

    Looking for some advice if I can fix my tub spout from leaking when the shower is on or if I need to replace it. Plumbing is not my area at all. That said, with some help I think I can handle this project. I have a typical tub with shower. The shower handle turns counter clockwise for cold...
