Open Sesame! Install a Garage Door
Installing a new garage door and opener may seem daunting at first, but if you take your time and do the job step-by-step, it's a good weekend project.

You may need to remove an old door, or you may be installing in new construction.

How To Repair or Replace A Damaged Mailbox Post
The hardest part of a mailbox installation can be removing the old box or post! So I'm going to make the assumption that you wish to replace the box and the post.

How To Install Blown In Attic Insulation
Blown in insulation is better that batts when installed properly as it does seal the attic better. First you need to measure your attic area that you plan on insulating. Most attics require a value of R-30, R-38 or R-49, depending on your climate and location.

Install Vinyl Rain Gutters
Gutters, or eavestroughs, are an important part of your home's "water management system" that helps keep moisture out of your basement. Proper drainage and correct grading of your property are the other components. Gutters can be made of all kinds of materials like steel and aluminum, or even unique (and expensive) things such as copper. No matter what they are made from, gutters are designed to capture water running off your roof and direct it away from your foundation.
