What are the tools that every Do-it-Yourselfer must own? Image is overkill - a couple of adjustable ones have done all I need around the house so far... |

What are the tools that every Do-it-Yourselfer must own? I have a cheapo 14v cordless ($40) and a cheaper corded hammer ($15). The corded one gets used for hole-sawing, wood-spading, and big holes in hard stuff that would drain the battery of the cordless. Otherwise the cordless is easier (I end up using it mostly for quick screwdriving) |

Is there a trick to applying caulk using a caulk-gun? I thought "caulk" was called "gap filler" internationally but your descriptions sounds like silicone (and silicone-based sealants). If so, the magic trick for mess free edges isn't painter's tape, it's apply the silicone, then spraying the area with all-purpose cleaner ("spray'n'wipe") then smoothing it with finger. The silicone doesn't stick to the surfaces with cleaner on them. |

How can I remove a single cracked floor tile? after removing the grout, I'd drill a few holes in the tile surface two to "break it up" for easier removal |
