Know this post is a bit old, but hopefully you went with the pocket door! Barn doors leave a 1-inch air gap off the trim that lets every sound and draft right through. When we installed a custom sliding track setup through RealCraft for our guest suite, we had to add rubber bumper strips and...

Yes, you can wire a 4-wire oven to a 3-wire plug temporarily. Connect the two hots (red and black) to the two hot legs of the plug. Connect the white neutral and green ground together to the ground prong. This works for testing. But don't leave it permanent. The neutral and ground are separate...

Stumbled on this while looking for drainage advice, figured I'd share what I learned the hard way. Water pooling near the foundation isn't always a simple fix. I had the same issue and thought extending the downspout would solve it. Didn't. The water had already started seeping into the crawl...

Had the same issue with a stone outbuilding. Gave up trying to mount stuff flush on the walls, just built a freestanding bench a few inches off them, way less hassle and helps with airflow too. For tools, a rolling chest beats wall cabinets when the walls are that uneven. Good you're sorting the...
