This is a good tip. There are many ways you could do this including freehand with an angled sash brush but this would work. Basically it is whatever works best for you and your skill level. I’ve done more paint jobs than I could count but I have no doubt Mauro has done more than I so I think it’s good advice to keep this tip in your arsenal.
Install A Simple Backsplash
Here’s a simple backsplash you can install yourself with very few tools and no mixing of bags of materials or cutting tile. You can do this!
How To Fix A Noisy Toilet
This is a pretty common problem. Phantom water noises in the toilet usually heard in the middle of the night (because it’s quiet). Most of the time this is caused by a worn out flapper which is real easy to replace but sometimes it is the rim on the flush valve. In the case of the rim on the flush valve being worn, you would need to replace the whole flush valve as he has done in the video. But I would start by just replacing the flapper. In my experience that does the trick most of the time. Either way it’s a pretty easy fix.
How To Caulk Correctly
So you’ve been caulking stuff for years. It doesn’t get much simpler than running a bead of caulk. Right? Well you might think differently after seeing this.
Update Your Kitchen With Paint
Ok here’s my disclaimer. I have never used this product myself. But that’s only because I didn’t know about it. But you can see the results for yourself. If you’d like to give your kitchen a makeover for a minimal cost compared to refacing and tile work, this is a great option. Very little prep work compared to the traditional way you would paint cabinets. They claim the paint will stick to anything so you can actually change the look of your tile backsplash also. They don’t reveal the brand of paint in the video but with a little sleuthing it is clear that the paint is a product called Beyond Paint and it is available at Home Depot. I will say that the paint is not cheap at $100/gal but considering all the work you would save in sanding and priming it is worth the trade off. This paint will give you a slightly textured finish so if you are looking for a slick smooth look this is not for you. But as you can see in this video the transformation of this kitchen was pretty phenomenal.
