HOW TO REPAIR NAIL POPS

Nail pops occur in walls and ceilings when the nails or screws holding the
wallboard to the framing become loose over time. This allows the wallboard to
move and as a result the nail heads push through the surface and cause an
unsightly blemish. To restore a smooth surface, the wallboard must be reattached
with new drywall screws. Using the repair technique on this page, nail pops like
this can be stabilized and the damage permanently repaired. Read More


HOW TO DO SPONGE PAINTING

Sponge painting is one of the easiest faux finishes to do for beginners and
ranges from the ultra-simple to the fairly complex. These effects can be used to
decorate walls, furniture, or just about any paint-able surface and they are
particularly well suited for hiding rough wall surfaces. There are basically two
different techniques that can be used to create these effects: positive sponging
and negative sponging. Positive sponging involves applying glaze, a little at a
time, using a sponge to dab the color onto the surface. There are degrees of
positive sponging, using just one application of glaze for a transparent effect
that allows much of the base color to show through, and using multiple patterns,
one over the other, to create an opaque effect that virtually covers the
underlying color. Read More


CIRCULAR SAW JIG PLANS

Cutting wood with a circular saw requires a steady hand. Carpentry demands
perfectly straight, square boards if you hope to produce acceptable results with
your woodworking projects, so using a circular saw freehand can present a
problem in this endeavor. To make truly straight, square cuts with a circular
saw you really need to use a fence of some kind to keep the blade steady and on
course throughout the stroke. This is especially true when ripping boards. A
fence is easy to fashion with clamps and scrap wood, but measuring and setting
one every time you need to cut some boards can be time consuming and you always
run the risk of less-than-perfect alignment and unsatisfactory results. Having a
pre-made jig to easily snap into place makes it simple to get accurate cuts with
a circular saw every time. Read More


HOW TO PAINT USING A BRUSH

Painting with a brush comes into play when you need to paint around the corners,
or "cut-in", before painting the walls of a room with a rollers. You'll also
need to use a brush to coat trim moldings, doors, and windows. Using a brush can
get a bit messy if you're careless while loading it or when you need to set it
aside to do other things. Below are some tips and techniques for handling a
brush for applying paint to get good coverage and a professional looking finish
with minimum mess. Read More


DOORBELL WIRING DIAGRAMS

If you're putting in a new hardwired doorbell or you need to repair an existing
one, the diagrams on this page illustrate the most common installations you will
find. Included are wiring for a typical hardwired doorbell with a transformer, a
two-button doorbell, an old house doorbell powered by a battery, and an
alternate to battery power using an ac adapter. A hardwired doorbell includes a
small transformer that converts the household alternating current (AC), to
direct current (DC) for the doorbell chimes. A small, 16 awg wire runs from the
door button to the chimes. When pressed, the button will send the transformer
output through the chimes, sounding the bell until it is released. The
transformer will usually be tucked into the outlet box where the doorbell
housing is mounted. It is hardwired to a 120 volt circuit cable run to the
outlet box. Connect the black wire from the source circuit to the black input
wire on the transformer. Connect the source neutral to the white wire on the
transformer and the source ground to the green wire on the transformer. There
will be two wires from the transformer output. Connect one of these to the chime
in the doorbell housing and the other to one of the wires from the door button.
Connect the other wire from the button to the other contact on the chime in the
housing. Read More


HOW TO REPAIR CEILING HOLES

Ceiling holes present a particular challenge when attempting to do repairs.
Because gravity will pull down on the patching material as it dries, a bulge can
develop in the surface and cause an unsightly finish when you're done. If you're
dealing with a smaller ceiling hole, you can use a self-sticking, aluminum
reinforced patch like the one shown here for a quick, easy repair process. A
drywall patch like this can be found just about anywhere wall repair materials
are available. Read More


TRIM MOLDING DESIGN IDEAS

Decorative trim molding can transform the interior of a room like nothing else.
For example, in a large room with high ceilings, using wide moldings for crown,
door casings, and baseboards can make the difference between a cold and
cavernous effect upon entering and a warm, cozy feeling. Including lots of
decorative trim was once the norm for builders to make these and other rooms
more inviting and interesting. Unfortunately this practice has gone by the
wayside with the cost oriented approach to home building today. Fortunately,
it's easy to retrofit the moldings that were omitted by the builder, or create
original designs of your own by stacking finish lumber and commonly available
trim profiles. This page contains some ideas for building these designs and some
techniques and pointers for installing them yourself. Read More
