Use Your Head, your choice, don't loose your head. I'm here too make things better when the DIY projects surface into sight, so You choose.

The heads of various scews come into play today. And typically all DIY projects use screws of soe sort.

Being your after move in, R.O.I. Guy with all the Design, Architectural Drawings that finds everyday solutions that work. So once bought, with a plethora of skills, but before hand you'll need to connect with https://socalhomeownerscorner.com/shortcodes/contact-form/ 

Wheather realizing this the hand ones DO have different calibrated sizes just like the cordless drivers. Witch ever of these fantastic inventions You're using, The proper fitted one can help You more efficiently.
#1, 2 or #3 sizes has got to be considered when driving these litte objects. Drywall screw heads are typically a #2 for instance. But be patient and manually fit first. If the wrong driver is used you will prematurely round out that head and have more work than neccessary.

None of us like that particular project giving us trouble.

organizing confusion

Craigs Clout: (Tip this Time)
3 Ways;
Nice to know how everything can still be of purpose with a little bit of imagination. This should be acknowledged as the 8th sense. Just because it broke or became out of date, it doesn't necessarily have to mean "let's dump it". We can just about always  find it can be RE-PURPOSED with implementing this 8th sense, into something else.
                  Here we had a bed frame that got discarded to the curb. Thats when I got the text telling me that nearby is alot of nice finished wood you might be interested in.
Wrapping up what I had going at the the time. I eventually got the address plugged it into my best buddy google and it was actually in route to home. So I swung by and saw what exactly it was they had mentioned, threw it in the truck and continued homeward. It seems suddenly
Tic-toc goes the mental gears in my head and a house member shrieks "where's the WD-40" so I suddenly hollar it's under those " ........ And started laughing. We all now how precious every sqaure foot is in So-Cal of Real Estate here especially. Once aquired I'm Your R.O.I. Guy, whereas my friend  Mary Ann Edwards will be glad to answer any question's  throughout any State You're interested: https://socalhomeownerscorner.com/shortcodes/contact-form/ She Knows her stuff!
We must get used to utilizing every bit of space we can. So I fabricated an "other" side of the door rack to organize confusion, so every item has a return spot for future knowlege. First guy that swings by say's "this is so cool" where do I get one of those and score those proverbial points with the Mrs.? Right here friend and I explain further. So you two will be on the next list, because I can already see it "now"..... Next alley Is going too get the once over twice.. Haha!

Swing Time

71 Craigs Clout "Tip this Time";

-Will be the Fine Art of Swing:

Yes, the fine art of Swing, this often occurs on some and really only annually on others.
Interior Doors require their due in our homes. For what they do-do. Whether it's the weather, Your saftey or just some tranquil "me time". Inside your home.
A property expert is Mary Ann when inquiring to buy. At this site:https://socalhomeownerscorner.com/shortcodes/contact-form/ I am an avid woodworker/R.O.I. Guy once a home is obtained
These moveable objects are ajar  and or frequently shut day in/out, depending on the moment, of coarse.
So Swinging it is, back and forth, back and forth, etc.
Now comes the proper install, hollow and inexpensive. Solid, heavier and more money mostly. Atiquated ones may need a new home somewhere, but , so Many variables and appearances too.
The pivoting suface that gets projected away from the wall side it is hanging in has the hinges and the other side should be 3 degrees beveled higher for an exact fit when installed.
Square, plumb and straight whenever possible but a seasoned craftsman type caregiver will work with every existing situation, and there is many to deal with.
Brand New ( is a gimmee) because you get to start fresh. This WON'T always be the case, So time to use the tricks of the trade and create the best end result we can. 3/16" th margin all the way around and 3 degree bevel for optimum swing clearance. Have fun and be careful without rushing.

Remain Flexible;

Each and Every worker will (with conscience observance) most certainly end-up changing their approach if they go back to see the cracking a few years later, no doubt. Sure, this needs quarterly bleaching (maybe) but because you're  alleviating that ugly black line that occurs while cracking then seperating where liquid enters.  Over time will serperate and cause further damage.
Being the R.O.I. guy with the Columbo like eye, I'm alway's pursuing improvements on your investing of Real Property. Mary Ann has got you anywhere for this, .......

So knowing why, it's simply put this way. The structual part of most walls are framed and stood with wood (my specialty). Expanding and contracting almost daily where as that cemention tile or tub adhered too it, (once dried of course) wont be moving, period. Now where they meet WILL crack and powder and make a mess. But if that particular surface can be allowed too FLEX or go with the flow so to speak. Like a chualking, that once completely dry WILL remain moveable when neccessary and alleviate the bogus black line. Every blue moon You just might need to deep clean like anything else.
Sometime soon we will talk about new installations @ toe-kicks! Same concept there with although with different materials.

Fastener Points:
Be aware every type of fastener will act as a conduit for moister. An incredibly tinsey tiny little hole that is penetrable moment upon moment, all day long too end up culminating into years that the slightest damp vapors will take its toll.
99.99% of nails/screws or staples are going to be made of metal. So non corrosisive materials are bests suited if exposed to any type of moisture or alkalydes from our mother earth. Zinc coated or galvanized for example. So something as rudimentary as a deck in the yard, any strucure fasteners are best applied from below or from the side as to not hold wetness from wherever to sit atop to dine or just about any suface and eventually evaporate upon. So your ROI for real property is me here in So-Cal and with her professinal prowess here and elsewhere my Realotors info is MaryAnn Edwards @

Craigs Clout: "Tip this Time"; Cubic Feet a Minute or C.F.M. ratings are so important whether we know its science behind or not. The everyday bath fan gets the applause only when its ability to perform has been elevated via other components directly involved. It can only exchange the air that it draws. Now normally this has never consciously entered most people's mind throughout the years. But indeed it has when he needs to see at that bath mirror to shave. This enables patient time to kick in, so a chilly breeze from outside the open window and the bath door completely ajar. Minutes later, I can use the mirror, but my body hair isn't soft any longer. Thats where science of craftmenship sets in, the bottom of that shut door for heat as well as privacy needs the proper gap beneath it to draw air through from the rest of the house for the C.F.M. or exchange air for good ventilation on your next home. Educating and understanding is my exact angle here. If you have something positive to share too. Give it away always! First time buyer or that savy investor my friend Maryann can happily assist, so any questions then leave your info below: https://socalhomeownerscorner.com/shortcodes/contact-form/ Enjoy your day !

Craigs Clout n Repairs; Tip "O" this Time,  Ok .... Your R.O.I. Guy is dispelling the word is officially out. We have been schooled that we are even able to count those years by its rings on the whole trunk. Some of these tree's well over our age's and some only pure miniscule seedlings. But the lumber yards and the mills take over long before you'll be seeing stacks of these tradable commodities. Regardless if it's a DF stud in a wall or a piece of 2x6 redwood decking you're going to still get the longest and cleanest results from what is NOT so commonly known as F.O.H.C. or in a full spelling Free of Heart Center. Nature reproduces in many ways and when that seedling turns to fruition the first year of life is also just a mere thin dowel. As life matures if we are all so fornunate the tree forms into another slightly bigger dowel wrapped around and encompassing the 1st one. And so on and so on etc., ten-fold or aka another year older. Once that timber has made it to Gnahal or a HomeDepot then the masses can them away. As a Concierge Caretaker for the homes of my precious clientel, I look for constant Improvements. It all starts at the stacks ! There will be a few things one wood be behooved to know before carting them to check out, and that is after finally finding which size, shape (length) and species you're going to use, simply look at the end (either one) of it and stick an eyeball down the edge. End to end you'll see how sraight it is. But before doing that you'll want to choose F.O.H.C. because the farthest from the center of that tree will be the less likely of warping it is going to wind up drying too and require replacement a short time later. Not really that much more work to go ahead and sort thru now to save MEGA amounts of laborious effort later. You'll be glad you took the extra time doing this selecting !!!
