I get the logic behind vent holes, but I’ve always wondered—doesn’t drilling into the closet mess with insulation or let in more dust? I tried somethi...
Totally get where you’re coming from. Last year, I bought this “green” primer that was supposed to be low-VOC and all that jazz. The smell was so stro...
I get where you’re coming from on not gutting everything, especially when you said: I’m with you on the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach,...
