I was preparing to buy the pipe insulators and install when I realized there is more than one kind, so which is better the foam or the rubber insulators?

I patched my gunite pool with putty, but the spots look bad because the patch color doesn't match the surface color. The pool is speckled blue while the patch is off white. Is there anything I can do?

I have an old house. It is so old, that the electricial work to the outlets is on the outside of the walls, not on the inside. There is a box around the perimiter of the rooms of my house that have all the wiring in it... now, I want to redrywall, and get new baseboards.. etc.. Can a mediocre do it yourselfer get the electrical work inside the walls and make it the way it belongs ( to current standards) or should that be left to the hands of a licensed electritian?

Hi there. Any good tips please for keeping bathroom wall tiles steam free (or nearly steam free!). I do have a small window open but there's still some condensation on the tiles. Maybe there's a tile protection product for this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi today we have just got a new microwave as we could only get a combination one with a grill, what is the grill for, can you use it like an ordinary grill like on an oven that you grill toast on or is it just for browning. Also it says its a combination microwave and has a combination button but we arent sure what this does either and the instructions are not any help. Any helpfull answers would be brilliant. Thanks

I have a wonderful old kitchen table that is a laminate "fake wood" pattern formica from about 50 years ago. It has gotten dull and scratched from being washed over the years. I'd like it to shine again, like new, but still be safe to put food on. Any suggestions? Thanks!

The gutters were clogged and caused water leaking into the basement. The gutters have been cleaned and fixed. Do I need to do anything now to repair the damage in the basement, besides cleaning with bleach? Is there something more I need to do to waterproof the basement?

What would you say is the smarter choice?

* Buy an older home - stick money into fixing it up (ourselves) - reselling for profit

* Buy a modular home - perfect move in condition - no fixing needed - resell in a few years when we'd like to move

Any ideas / suggestions welcomed!
