Q: I have some very boring builder-grade honey oak kitchen cabinets that I would like to dress up. I have seen cabinets with glass doors instead of solid ones and I want to replace a few of mine. I went to a cabinet company and they could not match the color of my cabinets’ door frames. Is there a way I could replace the panel inside the door frames by myself?
If young trees are given a lot of nitrogen fertilizer then new growth will be pushed at the expense of flowering.
All it really takes for a sparkling, clean pool is a bit of knowledge, weekly water testing and minimal muscle work, like weekly vacuuming and brushing the pool surface.

Peel-and-stick vinyl tile backsplashes look great in kitchens and bathrooms. Installation is a relatively inexpensive ordeal. And it’s easy.
Once a landscape design is finished, the amount of water it needs is fixed. You won’t be able to change the amount it needs, by much, without removing plants or changing them.
Q: Several of the drains in my house are backed up. I have tried plunging the toilet and clearing the drain trap in the sink, but I can’t get it to drain. My neighbor has a cable drain machine with several attachments included, but I’ve never used a device like that. Can you give me the details?
