    Resilient vinyl planking in basement

    My basement has always had water leakage along the wall that meets the concrete driveway. That water has caused about half of the vinyl tiles in the 280 sq ft room to popup super easy. We recently had the basement water proofed and we're about to put some flooring down. We've been looking at...

    Leveling bathroom floor

    Do you mean use 1/4" on top of 3/4", or do they actually make a single 1" thick subfloor piece?

    Leveling bathroom floor

    So I tore out the floor down to the joists to level it all out and get rid of the louon. Are two layers of 1/2" (with adhesive & screws between) good enough for a subfloor, or should I do 3/4" and 1/4"? Thanks!

    Leveling bathroom floor

    joecaption: You're right - there's 1/2" of subfloor and 1/2" of louon to bring it flush with the hardwood in the rest of the house. Never saw that toe kick saw before - pretty neat! Thinking I'll just tear everything up, fix the hight joist, and put down new subfloor for the tile. Thanks!

    Vinyl flooring with tile wainscoting

    Our bathroom has tile wainscoting, and the bottom row of tile does a little curve out before going to the floor - I guess you can call it a tile form of shoe molding? There's currently sheet vinyl flooring that we want to replace. I'm not even going to attempt to scrape up the existing tile, so...

    Adding soffit ventilation

    I have a 2,000 sq foot hip roofed ranch. It has original white aluminum soffeting, but only about 4 of the pieces are vented (on the entire house!), and I'm not even sure if the plywood above those are cut out. After getting some ice damning this past winter, I need to add more ventilation. The...

    Painting fiberglass entry doors

    I'm painting 4 new fiberglass entry doors soon, and a friend of mine offered to lend his auto-body facilities to help, like his paint gun and baking oven. He suggested using a normal auto-body paint (I forget the technical name of it, sorry). I'm figuring if the stuff works for fiberglass car...
