   I have a 1886 two story popular wood home. I want to seal up the cracks between the boards in the kitchen. I used wood putty and two years later they have cracked and I see the cracks again. Should I use a type of window caulk to put in the cracks and paint over it? Is there anything better?

   This may not fall under your area of expertise, but I have a bed made in the 1920s. It has a large burl wood headboard and footboard with wooden runners. The runners have metal holders to hold the bed. Since the mattress sets of today are of a different size I put wooden slats on the metal holder to set the mattress set on. The problem is that when sitting on the bed or turning at night the headboard (not the footboard makes a loud sound like something is falling. Can anything be done to eliminate this noise?

    I have read your description for installing a pocket door. I want to place a pocket door on a bearing wall. There is a regular door there now and I want to place it in that space. I assume there is a header above that door and I believe that I must take that out and install a new header. The door is 32″ so the new opening will probably be 65 3/4. How do I stabilize the bearing wall until I get the new header and frame installed. Thanks

    Hi My name is Donna and me and my husband own a home Harvey IL. I’m reaching out to your blog because we are in need of some landscaping help in the front and back of our home. Our sidedrive is well half gravel half dirt half black top feel in. My husband patched a few holes but we are ready to start over and pave the sidedrive completely. Were just unsure what to use this will be a DIY project so were open for work. Now the next thing is our backyard, it’s about the length of a McDonalds without the drive thru yeah headache and the weidth of half the McDonalds sorry for the examples but it’s really close. So I want to try to save our exciting grass however we have a large tree and dogs that have contributed to some standing water. We believe the yard is unleveled and just don’t know were to start I would like to maybe lay a patio on half of the land try to grow some grass on the other half with a small garden I’m up for the work but again not sure were to start. I love our home and thebackyard would be great for entertaining I really really need help. So please anybody comment and give me some ideas thankx!!!! Harvey home project.
