    Ceiling Trim Problem

    corner blocks I'm wondering if you couldn't use inside and outside corner blocks and just butt your crown moulding against the blocks. I forgot if you said you had already put the rest of the crown up. They do this a lot in older houses that are known to be out of square. I've done this around...

    vynal siding

    I just purchased another house that I will use for rental property. It currently has 12" massonite lap siding that is in poor condition. I'm afraid painting would just be throwing good money away. I was wondering if I had to tear the old siding off first. If I don't tear off the old, I'm not...

    1/4" underlayment over concrete?

    I have an entrance way that currently has 12" stick tile on a concrete slab. I was wandering if I could put underlayment down over the tile. It's about 6'w x 12'l. I know I could tear up the tile and spread some leveling compound but would rather put down underayment if it would work.

    Clogged sewer line

    clogged sewer I respect and appreciate your remarks. I'm a little bullheaded, no, I'm very bullheaded. I don't accept defeat easily. Now with that being said, I'll let you know where I'm at.
