I have round wooden fence posts. The wooden gate door's frame is about 3"x3" square. What kind of hinge can I use? I cant find any that are flat for the door but round for the posts.

I'm looking at a house and this is in a bedroom closet. I do plan on gutting the whole house anyway.

The hole is about 11" x 4". The hole is about 5/16" - 6/16" deep. The wooden lath is not loose. I know I can just attach a sheet of sheetrock but I already have the joint-compound at home. I did buy some powdered Plaster Of Paris but I think i bought the wrong one... it gets hard in 6 minutes...

UPDATE: The vinegar + water technique worked. Unfortunatley, it took the paper backing of the drywall off with it. Can I still patch with drywall, tape, joint compound without the paper backing? _________________________ I'm trying to patch this hole with drywall. My plan was to remove a...

We have a gangbox in the garage that is pretty much useless. I cant think of any other uses than what it was designed for... on the construction site for locked tool storage. Any "pinterest" type ideas for repurposing? If not, I'll just sell it on the craigslist.

The leak has been fixed! There was a slightly moldy/musty smell and bubbles in the wall/ceiling that led us to find the leak. The 2' x 2' hole has been there for a few days now. The moldy smell has subsided but I want to take precautions. I do not see any mold but is there a fumigator or some...

I have a very small half-bath with a very small sink in the corner. Currently, there is just two small slabs of marble acting as a backsplash, 3/8" thick, that I'm thinking of removing. My current faucet is getting corroded. It is a cheapo faucet. Being in the corner, I'm having a hard time...

Just looking for a really rough estimate. Are we talking $100k or are we talking $200k for a 2nd floor? The house in question is in a Boston, MA suburb. It is worth about $400,000. It is 900 sqft. Built in the 1950s. Poured concrete foundation, no leaks in the basement. The 1st floor needs to...

How is it dealing with a sump pump? Does it freeze in the winter? I'm going to an open house tomorrow and there's a sump pump. Should I stay away? It's in the basement. Fieldstone foundation

I'm looking at a house that has a very small 1-car-under with basement access. The listing says concrete block foundation. How involved is this? I know this is something I can't do by myself.

You can see in the picture that the 2nd-floor gutter drains into the 1st-floor gutter. At the point where the 2nd-floor gutter joins the 1st-floor gutter, I believe it overflows BEHIND the vinyl siding because it drips out of the siding's drain holes. In the winter time, I get tiny icicles...

Real Estate gurus, what are your thoughts when you see a property that has switched hands in a short period of time? Haunted house? Problems? This particular house has been for sale 6 times within 10 years. UPDATE: 7/9/2017 still for sale

This valve drips one drop occasionally when I shut it off. The drop comes from the rusty nut area. It's bound to fail soon. The pipe is fixed at both ends so I have no play to insert the new valve after I cut the old one out. How do I do this? At 3:43, Is this the best way to go at it?

First time homebuyer. So I'm looking at this property. The house needs to be thrown in the dumpster. The land is really sloped. It's 0.25 acres, long and skinny, sloped, and wooded. The end of the backyard is 50 ft higher than the front of the yard. What would be my first step in pursuing this...
