Read MoreQuestion: I have a split level home built in 1986. What changes can I make to update it and increase my resale value?
Upper Level – 1 master with small 3/4 bath; 2 guest bdrms; 1 full bath
Mid Level – front room and kitchen
Lower Level – office; 3/4 bath; and family room with fireplace.
We recently had a new roof and siding put on and plan on landscaping the front for “curb-appeal” in the spring. In the meanwhile, we were hoping to get some ideas on how to spruce up the house DIY style.
Initial thoughts are:
1) Replacing vinyl flooring in all bathrooms with ceramic tile.
2) Refinishing kitchen cabinetry (their all wood)
3) Putting in laminate wood flooring in kitchen.
4) Replacing appliances (they’re all probably 10 years old) if there’s money left.
Any advice or other suggestions.

Don’t worry about resale value. Fix it up to enjoy. Unless you’re planning on moving shortly. Then you may want to just paint and clean everything to make it presentable. And of course price it accordingly. Spending thousands of dollars may or may not increase value depending on the market conditions, etc.
Question: How do I join an existing hardwood floor and a laminate floor?
The previous owners took out the existing hardwood floor in the ajoining dining room (to the living room) and installed carpet. I want to replace the carpet with a wood laminate floor but I am not sure how to make the two look seemless and join together. I would like this to be a DIY project and need some advice. Thank you

You would have to install a “threshold”. Not sure of the spelling. Its a board, tapered along the edges, that rests on top of the two floor surfaces and runs the length of the opening. They can be stained to match if you get a natural one. I make made my own out of pine and used a router on the edges. Pine is soft though.
Question: Why won’t my new bathtub fixtures fit on the stem?
I’m trying to replace my hot/cold knobs, and my shower/bath toggle knob in my bathtub, and I’ve been to the hardware store many times trying to get the right kind of knob. Nothing is working. What looks like should fit doesn’t, and when we’ve finally found knobs that do fit, they don’t attach properly and the bathtub spout now has a leak. What are we doing wrong? Should we give up on DIY and hire a plumber? (All for stupid bathtub fixtures!!!) So frustrating!

Did you use the white tape on the threads when you screwed it on ?
Question: How would you get rid of raccoons in your chimney?
My neighbors have maybe four raccoons who found a home in their chimney. They tried mothballs with no result other than their home smelling like mothballs, and the raccoons are still there. Any other DIY ideas? This couple are in their late 70′s and are not able to climb onto their roof.
Thanks for all suggestions.

Call animal control or the department of fish and game. They should be able to remove and relocate them.
