Whether you're planning your first bathroom renovation or just want to understand how to do it right, this video is your roadmap to getting the job done with confidence.

Painted wallpaper is a versatile design option, but it can be a pain to remove. When you’re ready to update your home decor, you can take on this project yourself with a few simple tools and some muscle. In our guide, we'll tell you how to strip painted wallpaper, why it’s hard to remove it, and what you can do to prep your wall for its next design phase. We’ve also included a video featuring This Old House’s painting contractor Jim Clark, who demonstrates effective methods for tackling this task.

This gives the compound something to adhere to and prevents it from falling through the wall cavity. Pro Tip: Painting contractor John Dee warns: "Leftover glue can discolor and peel new paint." To remove paste residue, spray the wall with the same stripping solution you used during removal, then scour it with an abrasive dishwashing pad. Wipe the walls with a water-soaked rag, rinsing often, and repeat until the walls no longer feel slimy with glue. As Dee puts it: "An hour spent washing the walls will save you a ton of time in future repairs."

How to Transplant Rhododendrons With Roger Cook | Ask This Old House

Roger Cook helps new homeowners transplant their rhododendron safely to another part of their front yard! SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse. Director of TV Operations Chris Wolfe produced AskTOH from 2002-2014, and this was his favorite house call! Chris liked how the call was from first-time homeowners who worked alongside Roger for the entire project, and how Roger demonstrated his deep knowledge of horticulture when talking about the PJM Rhododendron and the best time to transplant. It was also Roger's first use of “Plant it high, it won't die. Plant it low, it won't grow” on TV, which of course became iconic! Bonus: Roger is absolutely covered in dirt afterward! #atoh25 #gardening #DIY #homeimprovement Looking for more step by step guidance on how to complete projects around the house?

This Ceiling Was a Mess. I Fixed It in HALF the Time With Muddskip

I’m using Muddskip drywall additive to fix a badly finished, wavy drywall ceiling and get it back to a smooth, level finish. Muddskip lets me apply multiple coats wet-on-wet once the mud is dry to the touch, which means I can build out low spots, skim coat the ceiling and keep working without the usual wait between coats. In this repair, I’ll show you how I find the high and low spots, fix loose drywall, use a laser to straighten the ceiling line and apply a final skim coat with as little sanding as possible. If you’re dealing with an uneven ceiling, bad drywall finishing or a ceiling that needs a Level 5 finish, this is a much faster way to get it looking right.
