Do It Yourself (DIY) - September 2006

I'm about to install a wooden board-on-board privacy fence, which is a perfect excuse to buy a nailer. Obviously I need a nailer that will suffice for that purpose, but I would like a good all-around nailer for other projects as well. Do I want a framing nailer? Finish nailer? Air or cordless? Brand? Strip or coil? Thanks!

In my bedroom I have two of the walls painted white, and the other two painted candy apple red. But I hate the red now, and I want to paint all four walls a very pale, light pistachio color. I bought double strength primer to paint over the red, but I know I'm bound to make some mistakes because I have no idea what I'm doing.

Can anybody offer any tips?

I am trying to install a clothes dryer vent to the outside through my outside garage wall. It is a wood stud wall with brick veneer. How do you make a hole in the brick for the vent pipe to go through? This is on a very visible side of the garage and I'd like it to look good. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I spent most of my day off replacing the three faucet attachments in my bathroom to fix a leak. The leak is fixed, but one faucet isn't seated the same as the others (no idea why but it works) and now my shower pressure is about 50% of what it was. I tightened the shower diverter as hard as I could without ripping out the 30-year-old fixtures. Is there an easy fix to this?
