Topics covered on today's episode: Installing laminate flooring in a bathroom Removing candle wax from carpet Repairing a small burn in carpeting Laying hardwood on top of concrete Repairing screen doors that expand in the summer Installing a storm door Attaching a hook in a hollow-core door Attaching cabinets to plaster walls Attaching studs into concrete Building a log home Mixing paint with joint compound to texturize ceiling Carbon-monoxide detectors for the home Tips - Clear nail polish or shellac can work wonders filling dents in your wood floor. The clear fillers allow the wood's color to show through and hide the repair.
- The easiest way to remove dried flooring adhesive from tools is to freeze them overnight and chip off the hardened adhesive in the morning. Safety goggles are a must!
- Although most hollow-core doors don't require a middle hinge, solid-wood doors can benefit from the added strength. Consider adding a third hinge to any door that is bowed in the middle.
- By drilling two holes in a PVC coupling and threading an apron string through the holes, you can make a handy hammer holster and always be quick on the draw.
- Penny (n.) -- A term applied to nails that originally meant the price per hundred. Today it indicates nail length and is abbreviated with the letter "d."
