Listener Questions
Hanging Oversized Cabinet Doors
Marsha in Georgia says, “My kitchen cabinets appear to have been built on-site in 1958, 3/8″ lipped doors and original exposed hardware. The cabinet doors are wider than other cabinets. In 2010 the kitchen was remodeled using 3/8″ rabbeted door hinges that have failed. I think the doors may need 3 hinges due to width. Help?!”

Ed in Alabama says, “My wife and I are getting older and I feel the need to install grab bars in our showers, both showers have marble surrounds. How do I locate the studs behind marble and drywall?”
Carmen in New Hampshire says, “I have a bathtub drain that has mold and rust in the sealant. I have tried everything I can think of to clean it such as bleach, peroxide, and lime away. Nothing has worked and I am embarrassed because it appears that I haven’t cleaned the tub. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.”
Lisa in New Hampshire says, “The concrete apron outside of our garage is crumbling and falling apart. Can we use pavers to repair this? Would that hold up to our winters?”
