    Can you stain brick? Should I?

    Thanks mudmixer, You can't tell by the photo, but that's actually a strip of wood above the window. But you're saying that by painting the brick, it will turn into a high maintenance job, requiring repainting later--No thanks! Hey, when I was a kid I was a hod carrier while working my way...

    Can you stain brick? Should I?

    Hi Everyone, We decided to replace our 34 year old siding with vinyl. We were very anxious to get rid of the 70's Tudor style, so we went with double 4" in a clay color. But we didn't pay enough attention to how it would look with the brick! The brick is used, unglazed, and you can see that...

    Frigidaire Élite dishwasher (White panels - Electronic control) doesn't drain enough

    HaHa, I never heard that one! Don't worry, I took it in the spirit that is was intended to be: funny. After all, if you can't laugh at yourself, then you can't laugh at anything. Peace, and goodwill, Al the boogeyman:)

    Frigidaire Élite dishwasher (White panels - Electronic control) doesn't drain enough

    I had the same problem and symptoms! But my problem was that when I pushed the dishwasher into its cabinet, the drain hose would kink ever so slightly, and not easily seen from the front of the machine. The reason it may have solid soap in the pump is because of the poor drainage all this...

    25 inch Panasonic Tube TV video not working right

    These tv's are so outdated that people have been giving them away. Go to a Goodwill store and you might find one for $20. Unless you have soldering skills, you may as well forget about fixing this yourself--the vertical output transistor might even cost you $10 + shipping--trust me, give it...

    Ugly Stoop and Angry Wife-Please Help

    Hi Handyguys Oops! I think you posted and I didn't see it right away. My eyes are not so good anymore. But now that you've given me a stucco option, and "parging", which I never in my life heard of, now I can do some more searching. When I get this fixed, I'll post a pic or two so you guys can...

    Ugly Stoop and Angry Wife-Please Help

    Hi Dave, It's a bi-level house, and the rest of the front has brick on the lower half like you see on the left, and "stucco" panels on the upper half, with brown trim boards in a Tudor style, I guess. I have decided I am going to fill it in with cement, then wait a year to see if anything is...

    Ugly Stoop and Angry Wife-Please Help

    Hi Kok328, That was a fast response! Thank you for help. I would love to widen it and make a porch area, but unfortunately, that's not in the budget at the moment. If I have to, I'll flatten the surface and put a piece of plywood in there for now. I forgot to mention that the recess is about 2".

    Ugly Stoop and Angry Wife-Please Help

    Hi Folks, I have searched this excellent forum and others, and can't seem to find the correct answer to this problem. Masonry and carpentry are out of my league, and hiring a pro would be my first choice, except I've just been laid off. The blocks under this stoop have shifted laterally...
