Squeaky Doors: Eliminate them in Less Than 10 Minutes

This past weekend I'd had enough of our squeaky master bedroom door. I'm an early riser and feel awful when I open the door and wake up my wife. So I decided to tackle our noisy door with ...»
just a hammer, screwdriver, nail set and Blaster silicone lubricant. Ten minutes later our door opened and closed like a champ. The process I used worked so well I thought I'd share it here via this link to my blog http://www.homerepairtutor.com/stop-squeaky-...

    take the hinges apart. Spray it on the joints of the hinges, work the door open and closed a few times to distribute the lube, then wipe off the excess with a paper towel. Takes less than a minute per door.

  • Finally finished sunroom with tile over cement floor. Absolutely love and enjoy this room.
  • Here I am ready to proudly celebrate the 4th of July with family and friends. Makes a big difference.
  • New walkway to the sunroom.  Helps to keep dirt and mud out of the sunroom.  The squares was left over from the new front walkway and the round ones, I bought 15 years ago and never used them.  They just stayed piled up at the barn.  3 projects finished.  This walkway on the right side is edged with brown aluminum edging. 2
  • A year in the making finally finished.  Absolutely love it after 23 years of not having a walkway.  No onto more projects! 2

    @Judy - Radiant subfloor heating is an alternative to forced air (traditional central) ...»
    heating. It won't boil your feet, but it will produce enough heat to warm your house. This is true for most places, anyway. I've been in hotels in Korea when it was aroud -10F outside and the rooms were a comfortable 70-75F using just subfloor heating. Consult a local installer, they might have a demonstration available.

    The upfront installation costs are a bit high, but when you factor in that it replaces your forced air heating system with a much more efficient style, the benefits start to stack up.
