I got a faucet and drain from my mom, it's about 2-3 years old, got it all hooked up and tried drain stop and it only slowed the water down. Everything is nice and tight and the sealed piece sits nice and flush. Does it need more adjustment underneath?

my wife microwaved something the other day and read the directions wrong and ended up having a meltdown. now the inside of the microwave is brown and smells like an ashtray for the past couple of weeks.

We have kind of a weird setup in our basement. At the end of the room is a built-in storage bench, kind of like what would be in a mud room, but nowhere near any doors. What I am looking to do is make it into a two-shelf tv stand. One shelf is on the floor and the top is the second shelf. From...

We have an exterior metal door and the plastic seal on the bottom is ripped to shreds. What's the name of it, and how do I replace it?

I bought this vinyl flooring a few years back thinking we were going to use it in our basement. Plans changed and I'm trying to sell it on Facebook. I have 15 boxes it comes prepadded I'd like $500 for it but everyone keeps offering $300

so the wife and I have a pretty old house that's in need of painting, and I'm in need of advice on a couple of things before I start picking away at it and making a weekend project into a year-long project. I've been noticing that when I scrape around windows, or around the trim on the corners...

Our house doesn't have gutters on the front and as a result when we get heavy rain it pools in certain areas which has resulted in the deck rotting. I'm hoping the studs are ok and I just need to get rid of the plywood and siding. The issue im having is that the house sits on the back corner of...

The center vertical post on the back couch is loose. I really don't want to have some one come in, or tear it apart. Is there a way I could maybe cut a slit in the fabric put in a screw and cover it up somehow?

The cement wall in our basement has two holes where I think some gas or water came in the house. We've been noticing a lot of mice in the house and it looks like they're coming in through these holes. The holes go through the width of the wall and I'd like to cement them shut. Any thoughts on...

Let me start with what happened and what needs to be done. When the previous homeowner bought the house he ripped up all the carpet in the basement and covered the whole floor in leveling cement because it was so pitted. The front half turned out pretty good but the further back you went the...

I painted the siding that the roofers replaced when they did the flashing, and I noticed the siding below the roof was loose from the vent to about half way down. Well turns out the 2x4's under the vent are pretty well rotted out. It seems the placement, and neglect of this vent caused a lot of...

I put one of those under counter trash sliders in. The bottom of the counter is some kind of thin particle board. Combined with wife's tendency to pile drive the trash in the can it didn't hold out very long. I put some 1.5"ish deck screws in but that isn't going to hold to long. Am I going to...

I know it's not exactly house related, but I'm not sure where else to ask. I've been brain storming about what to do with the interior of my 47 Ford coupe, and I've seen online where people have used plywood for their door panels. I was thinking of using a plywood with a nice grain and a...

Last year I replaced the broken pane of glass with Plexi glass. Well the dumb dog always goes to that window to see what's going on and on doing so bops the window and now the bottom corner has come off. Any recommendations for adhesives to keep this in place. I'm hoping that I don't have to...

The wife and I inherited grandmas antique China cabinet with curved glass, except all the glass is gone. How would I go about replacing it. I plan on doing it myself with poly-carb.

Last spring/early summer I replaced the boards on the patio with pre-treated deck wood. By the end of the summer some of the boards that aren't covered by the overhang began to warp now a couple of them are curled up on the ends to the point that they have pulled the screws out of the frame...

I was at the rental store Saturday, while the wife was next door getting her bridesmaid dress fitted, and I was talking to the guy about renting a floor cement grinder. He told me that for the size of the area that I was doing an angle grinder to small, but the big floor grinder was to pricey...

Some day we would like to put a garage on our property. Due to the weird layout of our property we are kind of limited to two places to put it, and both are pretty close to some large trees. I want to keep as many of these old trees on our property as I can how close can I build to a tree...

We have an older house with an addition on the back, and I noticed that the water running off of the main roof is running down the side of the addition which is all wood siding and I'm thinking this is what was causing the rot problems. Is there a way to channel that water away where the roof...
