We have glued-down engineered hardwood flooring that is 8 years old. I want to install a porcelain tile over the wood. Do I need to sand 80 grit then an adhesion promoter? I don’t want to apply a 1/8-inch barrier, as it’s only a small office and hallway.

When I bought my house, the aluminum garage door threshold was already loose. Now it falls off almost every time I step on it and I can’t seem to figure out how to fix it. It sits on a poured curb and I’m at a loss on what to do. Any advice?
Carol in OR
We have MOSS growing everywhere. I need help with tips to manage and not pollute the river with chemicals. I have a 150-foot driveway, with trees on both sides and have ongoing moss growth. I don’t want to cut the trees down. Is there anything I can do?

When the tile contractor grouted our new bathroom floor, the grout ended up being 1/8 inch below the tile surface. Now we feel the edges of the tile when we walk across the floor. Is this normal? Can I put more grout on top to raise the level up to the tile?

I’ve looked everywhere for how to clean baked-on crud around the burners of a shiny black (enamel?) stovetop without scratching it. All I can find is “miracle cleaners” or people who scrub away with various sponges that aren’t supposed to scratch but look like they would. Any suggestions?

We’re putting a new floor in our living room, which had old, nasty carpet over plywood. We have three young children, two crazy dogs and lots of family and friends dropping by all the time.
Needless to say, we need a durable floor. We’d like to install it ourselves and I’m considering vinyl plank.
Do think that would be a good choice in our active home? And how difficult is it to install?
Any tips you can share would be great.
