Clearing away dishes and your daily clutter is the bare minimum you can do to at least let a buyer see the house that sits underneath it all. Then make[..]

I have just come away from a meeting with a major supplier of basement waterproofing membranes. Like most suppliers in the industry they have always supplied the plastic dimpled membrane for cavity drainage, and condensation has always been a potential hazard with such membranes. The industry has wrestled with this problem for decades, ever since this generic type of waterproofing became prevalent. In the 1970's and '80's it was industry standard practice to recommend that the air space between the membrane and the plasterboard lining be ventilated top and bottom so as to prevent condensation. During the '90s and early part of the 21st century this advice was generally changed to[..]

Many of us wish that our bathrooms are a little bit roomier but wishful thinking won't increase even one square foot area. So, how can you make your bathroom look and feel larger without actually increasing the space. Here are a few tips to make your bathroom look more spacious. 1. Select light colors for the walls.

If there is already a dark colored floor which you cannot replace, cover it with a light colored rug. 3. Bathroom tiles should be large. This creates a feeling of space. Wall tiles should preferably be[..]

If you are planning to remodel your basement or attic, the simplest procedure involves a large piece of graph paper. Mark off the area you have to work with, using as large a scale as possible (one inch equals one foot works well). Pencil in the walls, partitions and other major alterations.

Odds are good that the space pictured in your mind seemed much larger than the actual area available. There will most certainly be an uncom­fortable moment when you discover it is absolutely[..]

I'm cheap and I've long been fascinated with technological changes that help make things more affordable, like Mr. Ford's famous Flivver (the Model T) or the "peoples car" (a Volkswagen).

The most typical type of IR camera resembles a typical camcorder and produces a live TV picture of heat radiation. More sophisticated cameras can actually[..]
