Topics covered on today's episode: Removing mildew from under silicone caulk Painting ceramic tile Removing dried grout from ceramic tile Staining popcorn ceiling Installing a ceiling fan in a manufactured home Achieving the "Charleston look" Pruning and grooming echinacea Selecting plants for landscaping How to tell whether soil is fast-draining Removing a stripped screw from a piece of wood Tips - Use a heat gun and a putty knife to loosen vinyl floor tiles. Once the tile is removed, apply a bit more hat to the remaining adhesive and scrape it up.
- Never use water-resistant drywall in ceilings. The greenboard's extra weight will cause it to sag.
- A two-by-four held vertically will help you make ceiling height measurements quickly. Measure to the ceiling and add the board length to get the exact ceiling height.
- Raise the height of your mower cut during extremely dry periods. Remember to keep blades sharp to prevent additional stress to the lawn.
- Squirrels can be a nuisance when it comes to their digging up bulbs. Protect bulbs by spreading chicken wire over the soil until emergence.
