     Plus, answers to your home improvement questions.

    • Gutters: A narrow area of space between neighboring homes keeps filling with water. We tell Allison how to improve drainage and waterproof her basement.
    • Bathroom Vanity: Nick needs to know how to attach the top of his bathroom vanity to the base. We’ll share tips about keeping it secure with plumbing, adhesive, and caulk.
    • Wall Tile: Can you cover garage cement walls with tile? Shen finds out it can be done and how to reduce moisture with a waterproof membrane under the tile.
    • Decking: Andrew wants to install a hot tub on top of a deck. We’ll share info about building a wood frame with extra support and using durable Trex decking for the surface.
    • Insulation: Janet’s home addition isn’t insulated, but the open area underneath may provide the easiest access to install insulation where it’s needed.
    • Drop Ceilings: A basement renovation includes updating the ceiling, too. Gonzalo gets advice on putting up drywall, leaving the ceiling exposed, or installing a new drop ceiling.
    • Ceramic Tile Floor: Replacing carpet with ceramic tile flooring left gaps under the door trim. We explain how Mike can add plinth block to close the gap.
    • Security Systems: Sherry wants to install a security system in her rural home. With a Wi-Fi connection, she’s got plenty of affordable DIY options to keep her home safe.
    • Travertine Tile: The travertine tile in Steve’s kitchen has spots where things were spilled and dulled the glossy finish. We’ll suggest some products to help clean, seal, and polish the tile surface.
    • Fireplaces: Lynne wants to reface her brick fireplace that’s surrounded by library paneling. Adhering tile is a great option that can give it a beautiful new look.
    • Vinyl Flooring: Is it necessary to add a sound barrier to a vinyl floor that’s installed over a cement slab? We tell Tim that the included floor padding should be enough to muffle sounds.
