I do have some clover and dandelions in addition to the crab grass. So maybe I should put it down twice? Once now and once in June? Also which product do you guys find works best for this?

I am in Southern Ontario, Hamilton area. Is it about right time now to put down fertilizer with pre-emergent weed control now? I want to make sure I got the timing right. Thank you.

Could anyone recommend selective weed killer which I can use on my lawn without destroying the grass. The weeds are mostly clover and dandelions and also some clover like weeds but I don't know what they are called. I also have quite a bit of crabgrass but I don't know if any selective weed...

I have installed a brand new 3 zone mini split ductless system for my addition. All the lines are in place and all electrical is connected. All that is needed is to properly test for leaks and pressurize/start up the system. How much time would this take if there are no issues and how much...

Would that spring be on the outside or inside? I have not seen any parts of a spring on the inside or outside. Do you have any picture so I know what I should be looking for and where it should be located? Can these parts be bought for replacement?

I have older lawnmower that run like a charm till this past weekend. Now when I started it it did not run even, very erratic and black smoke coming out of the muffler so I figured the gas mixture must be too rich. After some time I figured that the flap in the air intake under the air filter...

The R1 relay (white relay running the heater I think) on controller for Frigidaire Dishwasher is clicking most of the time when the dishwasher is running. I wonder if anyone had similar issue and what the possible solution would be so I can fix it? First thought is that the relay coil went bad...

Isn't air dried wood going to crack because of higher moisture content?

I wonder if kiln dried wood is required for building stair steps? I would think that air dried wood has too much moisture content for that purpose. Any ideas on that?

There is no insulation right now but it is going to be sprayed foam which I need just enough to fill the space between rafters so I was told by the architect who designed the addition that with spray foam I will not need to ventilate that space so I was planning to use solid soffit. Am I...

The framing is 2x6

Hopefully the pictures will show up now.

I had third floor addition framed. The roof at the back of the house is cottage style. The way they framed the cathedral ceiling is that the corner rafters is sticking out more than the others. I am attaching pictures to show what I mean. I wonder what should I do to properly hang the drywall...

I was told that it is better to put stucco all the way up and then attach the sofit to stucco rather then doing sofits first and installing stucco up to the sofit. Is this correct? And what screws would have to be used to attached the c-channel to the stucco?

I am thinking about doing stucco on my house myself since the pricing for the workmanship is going through the roof judging by the quotes I got back already. I understand it is not easy and time consuming but I have done everything else so far so I might be able to tackle this project. The...

I have added third floor to my house and now that framers are gone I am considering my HVAC options. I wonder if I could use in floor hydrophonic system for both heating and cooling? I mostly see heating systems of this type when I search online but I have seen few people mentioning cooling...

CallMeVilla's suggestion to use PL Premium is right on the spot. That is exactly what I did when I used LVL. Just make sure you take the gloss off with the sand paper on the sides which will be glued together. Otherwise the adhesion will be very poor. As for bolts, screws or nails I would...

I just got my building permit for an third floor addition which basically will be attic with raised side walls. The ceiling will be vaulted. I wonder what would be the best way to insulate the ceiling and knee walls? I was thinking about spray insulation but I think it is considerably more...
